[0atman]

What happened?

While running cargo shuttle init, after selecting the web framework it panics with Could not query the latest version of shuttle-runtime

Duplicate declaration

• I have searched the issues and there are none like this.

[0atman]

I have installed cargo-shuttle both from source and cargo binstall no dice

[0atman]

inside the discord walled garden, we are talking about how this seems to be caused by sparse registries not playing well with cargo-edit. I've switched to stable which I believe shouldn't have sparse enabled, but it's not worked either.

Debugging continues...!

[oddgrd]

Ah, so sparse registries are enabled by default on nightly? I'm not sure just switching it back to git will fix the bug either, I think the cache would still need to be updated. So I would try the suggestions from discord, running cargo update/upgrade/fetch in a crate which depends on shuttle-runtime v0.14.0. Unfortunately I still haven't reproduced the bug, so I can't test it myself

[0atman]

Trying those now.

I think you might be able to just rustup default nightly to reproduce it?

[0atman]

I've tested this on both my aarch64 m1 machines, and my x86_64 surface pro, and I think because I always use nightly, this upstream bug happens on all of them, despite switching to stable.

[0atman]

The upstream problem seems to be caused by killercup/cargo-edit#841

[0atman]

The fix recommended in the above, is to add this to your .cargo/config

[registries.crates-io]
protocol = "git"

In my experience, you then ALSO need to warm up the cache, which I can do repeatably with cargo install cargo-shuttle -f

After doing these two, it does indeed fix it, both on stable and on nightly

[oddgrd]

Thank you for getting to the bottom of this and finding a work-around! For visibility I'll reiterate what I said regarding this issue in our conversation on discord:

We have been planning a refactor of our init function to rather bootstrap projects from templates (e.g. our examples repo). That would resolve this issue as well, since we would no longer rely on cargo-edit to fetch the latest version. We're about to start on this next week, and it should be good to go within a few weeks. Until them I'll look around for an intermediate solution, and I'll also add your work-around to our docs to minimize the time people need to spend debugging this.

The Problem

The biggest problem I see is that Rocket has always (and still does today) recommend nightly, and many projects have nice-to-have or quality-of-life features that they mention in their documentation, though not as strongly as Rocket. This will mean that a small number of users are using nightly.

Nightly breaks shuttle init, and once broken it's not obvious how to un-break it, likely you'd have to come here to figure it out.

I look forward to the fix! Thank you for your work, team :-)

[0atman]

Oh, I just realised the beta channel is 1.70.0, which would break this too.
