The Rust generator (output_type "rust") emits code that does not parse when a BAML name is Self (enum value) or crate (class field).

Repro with the published CLI, @boundaryml/[email protected]:

generator target {
  output_type "rust"
  output_dir "../"
  version "0.226.3"
}

enum Relationship {
  Self
  Spouse
  Child
}

class Claim {
  relationship Relationship
  crate string
}

function Extract(text: string) -> Claim {
  client "openai/gpt-4o"
  prompt #"{{ ctx.output_format }} {{ text }}"#
}

baml-cli generate succeeds. rustfmt --edition 2021 --check on the output:

error: expected identifier, found keyword `Self`
  --> baml_client/types/enums.rs:20:5
error: `crate` cannot be a raw identifier
  --> baml_client/types/classes.rs:21:9
   |
21 |     pub r#crate: String,

escape_keyword in generators/languages/rust/src/utils.rs raw-escapes everything in its list, but r#crate, r#self, r#Self and r#super are not valid raw identifiers. Enum values never went through escape_keyword, so Self was emitted as a bare variant. BAML accepts crate as a field name and Self as an enum value or class name; self and super are rejected as field names.

Fix:

• escape_keyword returns crate_, self_, Self_, super_ for those four and r# for the rest. baml_language/sdks/rust/sdkgen_rust/src/idents.rs uses the same rule.
• types/enums.rs.j2 runs variant names through escape_keyword in the declaration, Default, Display and FromStr. A renamed variant gets #[baml(name = "Self")] and #[serde(rename = "Self")], so the wire value is still Self. Fields already get this through FieldRust::cffi_name.

Not covered: a class named Self still renders pub struct Self.

Tests, from engine/:

cargo test -p generators-rust --lib

158 passed, 0 failed. That includes the *_evaluate tests that cargo check every generated client. They need PROTOC set to a protoc binary (the one from protoc-bin-vendored works); without it 19 of them fail in the baml build script.

New tests: tests::test_path_keywords_are_renamed_not_raw_escaped renders the repro and asserts the enum and both class files; utils::tests covers escape_keyword directly. With utils.rs and enums.rs.j2 restored from canary via git checkout, the render test fails; with the fix it passes.

I also compiled the generated enums.rs and classes.rs for the repro against languages/rust/baml in a scratch test (not committed). Relationship::default().to_string() and from_str("Self") round-trip, from_variant_name("Self") returns Self_, Relationship::Self_ encodes as enum value Self, and Claim { crate_, .. } encodes the field key as crate.

cargo fmt with the flags from CONTRIBUTING.md is clean. cargo clippy -p generators-rust --lib --tests reports only dead-code warnings in files this change does not touch (type.rs, templates.rs).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed generated Rust code for enum values that use reserved keywords, while preserving their original names in display and parsing.
  • Improved handling of Rust path keywords such as Self and crate in generated identifiers.

Walkthrough

Rust code generation now escapes path keywords with trailing underscores. Generated enum declarations and match arms use escaped identifiers, while rename attributes and enum conversions retain the original values.

Changes: Rust keyword-safe code generation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Rust keyword escaping engine/generators/languages/rust/src/utils.rs	escape_keyword adds a trailing underscore for crate, self, Self, and super. Other keywords retain raw-identifier syntax. Tests cover both behaviors and non-keywords.
Enum variant generation engine/generators/languages/rust/src/_templates/types/enums.rs.j2, engine/generators/languages/rust/src/lib.rs	Generated enum declarations and match arms use escaped identifiers. Rename attributes preserve original values when an identifier changes. The code-generation test covers Self, crate, and type.

• observed — engine (service) was modified; 3 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in engine/generators/languages/rust/src/_templates/types/enums.rs.j2: Enum variant identifiers are now escaped; when the escaped identifier differs from the original value, the generated variant receives BAML and Serde rename attributes containing that original value. This replaces emitting the raw value as the Rust variant identifier.
• observed — Modified behavior in engine/generators/languages/rust/src/_templates/types/enums.rs.j2: The generated default variant now uses the escaped identifier for the first enum value instead of its raw value.
• observed — Modified behavior in engine/generators/languages/rust/src/_templates/types/enums.rs.j2: The display match now refers to each variant by its escaped identifier while continuing to format the original enum value string.
• observed — Modified behavior in engine/generators/languages/rust/src/_templates/types/enums.rs.j2: The string parsing match now constructs the variant using its escaped identifier; the matched input string remains the original enum value.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 66.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Add an evaluate fixture for these keywords.

The string assertions catch the targeted identifier forms, but they do not compile the generated client. An evaluate fixture with Self, crate, and type can also catch compile errors in other generated files and derive expansions.
