Unable to access lib.rs file from binary - rust

Question

I am unable to access a library from my binary.
Here is what my cargo.toml looks like
[package]
name = "app"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"
[dependencies]
<--snip-->
[lib]
path = "src/lib.rs"
[[bin]]
path = "src/main.rs"
name = "realio"
the application root
.
├── Cargo.toml
├── src
│ ├── lib.rs
│ └── main.rs
└── test
└── integration.rs`
and my main.rs
#![crate_name = "realio"]
use env_logger::Env;
use realio::run;
use std::net::TcpListener;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
env_logger::Builder::from_env(Env::default().default_filter_or("info")).init();
let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:8000").expect("failed to bind port");
run(listener)?.await
}
However , I get the following error
error[E0432]: unresolved import `realio`
--> app/src/main.rs:4:5
|
4 | use realio::run;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ use of undeclared crate or module `realio`
I would appreciate pointers on this

Answer 1

You're missing the name for the lib.
This would be right:
[dependencies]
[lib]
name = "realio"
path = "src/lib.rs"
[[bin]]
name = "realio"
path = "src/main.rs"
But you don't need to manually declare it there if you stick with the main.rs and lib.rs naming convention. Also keep in mind to change the Package name (line 2 in your Cargo.toml) to "realio", so your code still works.
You can find more infos for that in the Cargo Book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/project-layout.html
