A-dependency-resolutionArea: dependency resolution and the resolverArea: dependency resolution and the resolverA-diagnosticsArea: Error and warning messages generated by Cargo itself.Area: Error and warning messages generated by Cargo itself.
Description
Currently if the resolver fails the error messages give lots of information on the paths that caused the problems, like:
cargo/tests/testsuite/build.rs
Lines 1356 to 1358 in 0b530c3
| previously selected package `bad v1.0.0` | |
| ... which is depended on by `bar v0.1.0` | |
| ... which is depended on by `incompatible_dependencies v0.0.1 ([..])` |
It would be nice to have the vershone requirements like: (wording needs improvement)
previously selected package `bad v1.0.0`
... which is depended on by `bar v0.1.0` which requires `bad: "=1.0.0"`
... which is depended on by `incompatible_dependencies v0.0.1 ([..])` which requires `bar: "0.1.0"`
The data is easily available thanks to #5428 we just need to get it into the correct place, and find good wording. We almost had this working in #5402 before it bitroted.
I am willing to mentor someone on getting this done. It may be a good place to start looking at the resolver without having to stare into the void at its core. If it would be useful I can rebase #5452 so that only the wording is left.
cc @necaris would you be interested?
