Error while rocket implementation for creating a basic API - rust

Question

I have been programming in Rust for a month or so and now I wanted to try out API's using Rocket in rust. I tried to implement the below code but I got the error the trait bound \Json<Test>: Responder<'_, '_> is not satisfied . Not quite sure what I did wrong I tried to find out a reason for it but couldn't get any. I am referring to this video and this guide, according to which I did everything correct.
Also side note: I use extern crate rocket but it still does not recognize Build, routes, etc. Any solution to this as well?
#![feature(proc_macro_hygiene, decl_macro)]
#[macro_use]
extern crate rocket;
use rocket::*;
use rocket_contrib::json::Json;
use serde_json::json;
struct Test{
name: String,
}
#[get("/")]
fn hello_world() -> Json<Test> {
let test: Test = Test { name: String::from("Test54") };
Json(test)
}
#[launch]
fn rocket() -> Rocket<Build> {
rocket::build()
.mount(
"/",
routes![hello_world]
)
}

rocket_contrib::json::Json only implements rocket::response::Responder if the T it contains implements serde::ser::Serialize (due to this). Currently, your Teststruct does not implement Serialize, so Json<Test> does not implement Responder; this is what the compiler is complaining about.
You can easily implement Serialize for Test by deriving it:
use serde::Serialize;
#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Test {
name: String,
}
