How to fix problem 'Update plugin to start this course' for jetbrain's Learn Rust course?

I am trying to get jetbrain's rust course working but I have this problem:

I have installed the rust toolchain and the rust plugin. When I click update on the problem this comes up:

so I press ok and nothing happens. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

I am using Intellij community with the education version and I am on a windows machine.

Solution

  • This is caused by https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/EDC-740/Cannot-start-Learn-Rust-Course

    Please try the course again and it should work now.

    The problem here is that the course published from nightly plugin version where a new version of the archive format was introduced (15). As a result, stable plugin complains that it doesn't support the new format version but at this moment there isn't new stable version with new format support

    An archive generated with the stable EduTools is uploaded, the corrupted version is hidden. It should be ok now.
