Fails with latest cargo-generate

[orhun]

🐛 Bug description

I'm using cargo-generate from Arch repositories:

$ halp --no-help cargo-generate
(°ロ°)  checking 'cargo-generate -V'
\(^ヮ^)/ success '-V' argument found!
cargo generate 0.18.1

I just built wasm-pack 0.11.0 and it fails like the following:

$ wasm-pack new test
Error: expected value at line 1 column 1
Caused by: expected value at line 1 column 1

However, if I uninstall cargo-generate and let wasm-pack handle that:

$ pacman -R cargo-generate
$ wasm-pack new test
[INFO]: ⬇️  Installing cargo-generate...
🐑  Generating a new rustwasm project with name 'test'...

It works as expected.

I tracked down this issue with using strace and found out wasm-pack actually installs an older version of cargo-generate:

$ /home/orhun/.cache/.wasm-pack/cargo-generate-9349d7b81730c28d/cargo-generate -V
cargo generate 0.17.3

Thus I concluded this is something that has changed between the latest version of cargo-generate and the version that is used by wasm-pack.

🤔 Expected Behavior

Successful run.

👟 Steps to reproduce

1. Install cargo-generate (pacman -S cargo-generate)
2. Build 0.11.0 and install wasm-pack using this PKGBUILD.

🌍 Your environment

wasm-pack version: 0.11.0
rustc version: rustc 1.68.0 (2c8cc3432 2023-03-06) (Arch Linux rust 1:1.68.0-1)

You are correct. We are downloading 0.17.3 in wasm-pack:

wasm-pack/src/install/mod.rs

Lines 194 to 200 in d5cb84e

	Tool::CargoGenerate => {
	Ok(format!(
	"https://github.com/cargo-generate/cargo-generate/releases/download/v{0}/cargo-generate-v{0}-{1}.tar.gz",
	"0.17.3",
	target
	))
	},

I suppose we can upgrade that and debug why it's failing then.

I guess under the hood it's just running something like:

cargo generate rustwasm/wasm-pack-template

I tried this successfully with the latest version of cargo-generate v0.18.2 on a M1.

This is magically fixed in 0.11.1, maybe it was related to #1254
