Steps to Reproduce

Follow the Setup directives of Rust and WebAssembly book to install the dependencies.

1. cargo install wasm-pack and the version of wasm-pack is 0.8.1
2. cargo install cargo-generate and cargo-generate version is 0.4.0
3. npm version is 6.10.3
4. cargo generate --git https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-pack-template
5. Type name as wasm-game-of-life
6. cd wasm-game-of-life
7. wasm-pack build
8. It hanged around Installing wasm-bindgen

I check the version of wasm-bindgen, which is 0.2.49.

Expected Behavior

It should be accomplished in a short time insteald of hanging there.

Actual Behavior

The installation hangs around Installing wasm-bindgen.

Additional Context

Additional question: Is this project alive and under maintainance?

[t1anchen]

I found an ad-hoc solution.

Recommendations

• Change version of wasm-bindgen in the dependencies section of Cargo.toml to a concrete version, i.e. wasm-bindgen = "0.2.49"
• Try cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli, and the version would be EXACTLY SAME as the verision installed by wasm-pack build. i.e. if the latest wasm-bindgen 0.2 version is 0.2.49, install the cli by cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli --version 0.2.49 then rerun wasm build.

Hopefully this solution can be helpful for those who have same issues.

Reference/Links

• wasm-pack does not find installed wasm-bindgen drager/wasm-pack#308
• must match wasm-bindgen versions exactly drager/wasm-pack#272
• Cache hits even if wasm-bindgen binary is missing drager/wasm-pack#508

Finally, I install wasm-bindgen-cli and wasm-opt before running wasm-pack build, I got it fixed
