Your rust nightly is too old. Try: rustup default nightly-2020-07-21

Fixed by #1122. Check it out.

Thank you! My suggestion is to update the README.md to mention the nightly-2020-07-21, because right now it says that it is enough to just rustup toolchain add nightly and cargo +nightly install racer
