I have the following code:
extern crate serde;
#[macro_use]
extern crate serde_derive;
#[derive(Debug, Default, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Base {
bold: Option<bool>,
}
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(untagged)]
pub enum Component {
String {
#[serde(flatten)] base: Base,
text: String,
},
}
This gives me a compiler error:
error[E0425]: cannot find value `__collect` in this scope

If I change my code to this, it compiles fine:
extern crate serde;
#[macro_use]
extern crate serde_derive;
#[derive(Debug, Default, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Base {
bold: Option<bool>,
}
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Striii {
#[serde(flatten)]
base: Base,
text: String,
}
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(untagged)]
pub enum Component {
String(Striii),
}
I don't understand the compiler error or why it shouldn't work. Does Serde have no support for field attributes inside enum struct variants?
This is a known issue with Serde for both serialization and deserialization. There are no listed workarounds.

I have a struct defined like the following (other fields removed for brevity):
use chrono::{DateTime, Utc};
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Test {
#[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
#[serde(with = "bson::serde_helpers::chrono_datetime_as_bson_datetime")]
pub time_period: Option<Vec<DateTime<Utc>>>
}
And I'm using the following in my Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
bson = { version = "^2.4", default-features = false, features = [ "chrono-0_4" ] }
chrono = "^0.4"
serde = { version = "^1.0", default-features = false, features = [ "derive" ] }
But the serde derivations throw error because it expects a DateTime object:

Any ideas how to serialize optional vector of DateTime objects?
Serde's with attribute can only be used if your function/module expects the exact type of the field. That is not possible to change and sometimes you see *_opt functions/modules to provide support for Options, but never for arbitrary nesting.
The bson crate has a feature to use serde_with to work around that. You need to enable the serde_with feature of bson and import serde_with v1 into your code. Note the extra default attribute to serde. That is unnecessary for v2 of serde_with, but bson is still on v1.
#[serde_with::serde_as]
#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Test {
#[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none", default)]
#[serde_as(as = "Option<Vec<bson::DateTime>>")]
pub time_period: Option<Vec<DateTime<Utc>>>
}
[dependencies]
bson = { version = "^2.4", default-features = false, features = [ "chrono-0_4", "serde_with" ] }
chrono = "^0.4"
serde = { version = "^1.0", default-features = false, features = [ "derive" ] }
serde_with = "1"

Why doesn't the OP's code work
The bson::serde_helpers::chrono_datetime_as_bson_datetime module contains helper functions that (de)serializes a single chrono::DateTime object, so it doesn't work with the field of type Option<Vec<DateTime<Utc>>>.
Solution using nested struct
To (de)serialize such data, you can define a struct TestInner that contains the inner DateTime<Utc> object, along with the #[serde(transparent)] container attribute so that it's (de)serialized in the same way as a single DateTime<Utc> object. For example, the struct Test in the question can be changed into something like this.
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Test {
#[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
pub time_period: Option<Vec<TestInner>>,
}
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(transparent)]
pub struct TestInner {
#[serde(with = "bson::serde_helpers::chrono_datetime_as_bson_datetime")]
datetime: DateTime<Utc>,
}
In my current project I'm trying to store a chrono::Duration in a configuration struct, which will be serialized and deserialized occasionally using serde_json.
Unfortunately, it appears that Serialize and Deserialize aren't implemented for chrono::Duration. That said, chrono says it has support for serde via one of its optional features. I tried using this method, but now the compiler is complaining about return methods:
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/config.rs:6:10
|
6 | #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug, Clone)]
| ^^^^^^^^^ expected struct `DateTime`, found struct `chrono::Duration`

|
= note: expected struct `chrono::Duration`
found struct `DateTime<Utc>`
= note: this error originates in the macro `try` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)
Why is this happening? What can I do to fix it?
Here's the code in question:
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
use chrono::{DateTime, Duration, Utc};
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug, Clone)]
pub struct Config {
pub dest_ip: String,
#[serde(borrow)]
pub include_paths: Vec<&'static std::path::Path>,
pub exclude_paths: Vec<&'static std::path::Path>,
#[serde(with = "chrono::serde::ts_seconds")]
pub time_between_checks: Duration,
}
Also, here's the relevant bits of Cargo.toml:
serde_json = "1.0.72"
serde = { version = "1.0.130", features = ["derive"] }
chrono = { version = "0.4.19", features = ["serde"]}
You can use serde_with::DurationSeconds for serialization. It works identical to ts_seconds but supports more types and serialization forms.
#[serde_with::serde_as]
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug, Clone)]
pub struct Config {
// ...
#[serde_as(as = "serde_with::DurationSeconds<i64>")]
pub time_between_checks: Duration,
}
I am trying to declare a struct that contains another struct of any given type that can be Deserialize and Serialize.
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Foo<T: Deserialize + Serialize> {
pub data: T,
}
Rust playground.
For that, I have tried to use trait bounds, using traits such as DeserializeOwned or Deserialize. Both have failed at compilation time with the following errors:
error[E0283]: type annotations required: cannot resolve `T: serde::Deserialize<'de>`
--> src/main.rs:9:28
|
9 | #[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
| ^^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: required by `serde::Deserialize`
error[E0637]: `&` without an explicit lifetime name cannot be used here
--> src/main.rs:10:19
|
10 | pub struct Foo<T: Deserialize + Serialize> {
| ^^^^^^^^^^^ explicit lifetime name needed here
I faced errors trying to add a lifetime since I am not using storing a reference but a value.
What is the most idiomatic way of declaring this type of struct?
Just don't place the bounds on the type:
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; // 1.0.91
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Foo<T> {
pub data: T,
}
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Boo {
pub a: i64,
}
fn main() {
let data = Boo { a: 1 };
let wrap = Foo { data };
println!("{:?}", wrap);
}
Then, place the bounds on methods where you need that behavior:
fn use_it<T>(foo: Foo<T>)
where
Foo<T>: Serialize,
{
// ...
}
I found a solution thanks to a member of the Rust Discord who referred me to the following Github issue. The trick is not to use trait bounds but attribute bounds.
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Foo<T> {
#[serde(bound(
serialize = "T: Serialize",
deserialize = "T: Deserialize<'de>",
))]
pub data: T,
}
I'm trying to create a custom struct using the UUID struct from Rocket as a field type. I want it to be serialized using Serde in order to convert it to JSON easily.
When trying to do this, I get an error:

My struct:
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Document {
id: UUID,
user_id: UUID,
created: i64,
updated: i64,
text: String
}
My imports:
[dependencies]
rocket = "0.3.17"
rocket_codegen = "0.3.17"
serde_derive = "1.0.80"
serde = "1.0.80"
chrono = "0.4"
[dependencies.rocket_contrib]
version = "0.3.17"
default-features = false
features = ["json", "uuid", "serde"]
Endpoint where I use the struct:
#[get("/document/<id>")]
pub fn get_document(id: UUID) -> status::Accepted<Json<Document>> {
status::Accepted(Some(Json(document::get_document(id))))
}
I've checked all dependencies, and I have the serde feature enabled in rocket_contrib. I've run out of ideas what to check next.
rocket_contrib::UUID does not implement Serialize:
#[derive(Copy, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord, Debug)]
pub struct UUID(uuid_ext::Uuid);
If the type doesn't implement Serialize, you can't make it.
As mcarton points out:
you still can implement Serialize for your type, you simply can't derive it and will have to implement it by hand.
That could look something like:
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Document {
#[serde(with = "my_uuid")]
id: UUID,
#[serde(with = "my_uuid")]
user_id: UUID,
created: i64,
updated: i64,
text: String,
}
mod my_uuid {
use rocket_contrib::UUID;
use serde::{de::Error, Deserialize, Deserializer, Serialize, Serializer};
use std::str::FromStr;
pub fn serialize<S>(val: &UUID, serializer: S) -> Result<S::Ok, S::Error>
where
S: Serializer,
{
val.to_string().serialize(serializer)
}
pub fn deserialize<'de, D>(deserializer: D) -> Result<UUID, D::Error>
where
D: Deserializer<'de>,
{
let val: &str = Deserialize::deserialize(deserializer)?;
UUID::from_str(val).map_err(D::Error::custom)
}
}

Add Serialize attribute to type from third-party lib
I have added a feature in my crate which adds serde support. However, I don't quite understand how to use it properly:
// #[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, Clone)] // goes to:
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
#[cfg(feature = "serde_support")]
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct MyStruct;
This code treats everything below cfg(feature) as conditionally compiled, so without my serde_support feature my crate does not have MyStruct also.
I have tried to wrap it with braces but it gives another error:
Code:
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
#[cfg(feature = "serde_support")] {
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
}
pub struct MyStruct;
Error:
error: expected item after attributes
--> mycrate/src/lib.rs:65:33
|
65 | #[cfg(feature = "serde_support")] {
| ^
So how to do this?
You can use the cfg_attr(a, b) attribute:
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
#[cfg_attr(feature = "serde_support", derive(Serialize, Deserialize))]
pub struct MyStruct;
It's described in the Rust reference about "conditional compilation":
#[cfg_attr(a, b)]
item
Will be the same as #[b] item if a is set by cfg, and item otherwise.
