I'm trying to run my tests with nightly Rust using Windows Powershell. I run cargo test in the directory, and I get
Compiling rustcraft v0.1.0 (file:///C:/Users/Phoenix/Desktop/Rust/rustcraft)

Obviously, I have to tell Cargo to compile it on the nightly channel, but how? I can't find any reference to specifying a channel in the help section, or any website I've found.
The command line solution may help you to configure your IDE:
cargo +nightly test
Provided, of course, that you have the nightly channel installed. If not, perhaps install it with rustup install nightly (no need to switch to it, but check you're still on stable: rustup show).
The +<toolchain> functionality comes from rustup, the Rust toolchain manager. It works for both cargo +<toolchain> as well as rustc +<toolchain>.
In addition, you can use
rustup run <toolchain> <any arbitrary command goes here>
Since your project requires nightly features, you can change into the directory and run rustup override set <toolchain> to always use the nightly toolchain in that directory.
Create a file called rust-toolchain in your directory containing the name of the toolchain required (e.g. nightly). This has the safe effect as an override, but can be committed to source control.

I am new to Rust, so this could be a stupid mistake, but I can't figure out how to fix it.
The problem
I tried to install Inari (a Rust implementation of interval arithmetic, https://crates.io/crates/inari). But when I try to compile the project, I get some errors:
Compiling inari v1.0.0

The error says something about using Haswell, so I tried to add the following lines to Cargo.toml:
[build]
rustflags = ["-Ctarget-cpu=haswell"]
rustdocflags = ["-Ctarget-cpu=haswell"]
but it didn't change anything.
Steps to reproduce
Create a new project with cargo new project-name. Add inari as a dependancy cargo add inari. Run the project with cargo run.
Environment

You need to put that in .cargo/config.toml, not in Cargo.toml. Alternatively, set the environment variable RUSTFLAGS before running Cargo.

I had a similar issue while using rocket. Same error message too, Error: Pear requires a 'dev' or 'nightly' version of rustc.
If you get to the get-started page on rocket framework website. It says, "Rocket makes abundant use of Rust's syntax extensions and other advanced, unstable features. Because of this, we'll need to use a nightly version of Rust."
My issue was I was not using a nightly version of rust. Running this on my terminal in my project directory did it for me.
rustup override set nightly
If you check the cargo version for that directory after,
cargo version
you will confirm it has switched to nightly version
Failed compilation even with nightly
It looks like you have some outdated dependencies (pear-codegen probably being the one that causes trouble), updating these may resolve the compilation issues.
General notes on how to override the toolchain
Using rustups override works fine, but it is bound to your local rustup configuration and not specified inside the project.
In order to achieve this, thereby making the project more portable and allowing others to always use the correct toolchain, I would recommend the toolchain file. It can look something like this (example taken from linked page) and will accurately specify the required toolchain only for the containing project.
# rust-toolchain.toml
[toolchain]
channel = "nightly-2020-07-10"
components = [ "rustfmt", "rustc-dev" ]
targets = [ "wasm32-unknown-unknown", "thumbv2-none-eabi" ]
profile = "minimal"
For your purposes a simple configuration like this will most likely be all you need, although adding the components you want to use would be beneficial.
[toolchain]
channel = "nightly"
My issue was with rust-analyser that wouldn't start because multiple rocket dependencies needed nightly or dev version of rustc.
These steps fixed my issue:
Switch to nightly for my rocket project by running rustup override set nightly inside the app folder.
Remove all target folders in my project. (I also had one in root)
Manually remove the faulty cached packages from cargo cache. cd ~/.cargo/registry/cache/github.com-xxxxxxxxxxxx && rm -r pear_codegen-0.1.5/
I want to know the latest actix-web version, so I executed cargo search actix-web. The result is actix-web = "4.0.0-beta.1", showing the beta version number.
I want to know the latest stable version number; how do I get it?
Usually, I only care to know about the version number of a crate when I'm going to add the crate to my Cargo.toml. In those cases, I use two extra Cargo subcommands from the cargo-edit project:
cargo add — adds the current stable version of a crate to Cargo.toml. Options exist for allowing prerelease versions or marking it as a build / dev dependency.
cargo upgrade — updates the version of a crate already in Cargo.toml. Similar to cargo update, but also changes Cargo.toml in addition to Cargo.lock.
cargo show --json $1 | python -m json.tool | jq ".versions[].num"
The output of rustup target list --toolchain nightly does not contain x86_64-apple-ios-macabi, even though it is in src/librustc_target on the Rust master branch.
How do I build for Mac Catalyst / x86_64-apple-ios-macabi?
The x86_64-apple-ios-macabi target is available on the nightly (5c5b8afd8 2019-11-16) compiler. Just because a target is available does not mean that the standard library and friends are compiled or available to rustup:
% rustc +nightly --print target-list | grep macabi
x86_64-apple-ios-macabi
Rust has a tier system (which is the subject of a proposed RFC). This target is so new it's not even listed on the tier list, but it's undoubtedly going to be tier 3. Tier 2.5 says (emphasis mine):
Tier 2.5 platforms can be thought of as "guaranteed to build", but without builds available through rustup
In the meantime, you will need to build your own libcore / libstd from source. I don't have the time nor ability to actually test that the compilation works, but something like these choices are the general starting path:
build-std
The unstable -Z build-std flag can be used to build the standard library:
% cargo +nightly build -Z build-std --target x86_64-apple-ios-macabi
Xargo
Building the standard library can be done using the xargo tool.
% rustup override set nightly
info: using existing install for 'nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin'
info: override toolchain for '/private/tmp/example' set to 'nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin'
nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin unchanged - rustc 1.41.0-nightly (5c5b8afd8 2019-11-16)
% cat > Xargo.toml
[target.x86_64-apple-ios-macabi.dependencies.std]
# features = ["jemalloc"] # Whatever is appropriate
% xargo build --target x86_64-apple-ios-macabi
# Iterate until libcore and libstd compile and work for your platform
#shepmaster 's answer is correct. In detail, you have to:
Install Xargo:
cargo install xargo
cd in your project
use the nighly build:
rustup override set nightly
create the Xargo.toml file with content:
[target.x86_64-apple-ios-macabi.dependencies.std]
In your projects Cargo.toml, make sure the [profile.release] section contains panic = "abort". If it does not, add it.
When building the project, use xargoinstead of cargo.
Shepmaster's answer is a little outdated. Cargo now supports the -Zbuild-std command. Using it, you can target any of the targets that rustc itself supports even if they aren't listed on rustup +nightly target list. Simply:
rustc +nightly --print target-list
and
cargo +nightly build -Z build-std --target x86_64-apple-ios-macabi
should be enough now. You don't need xargo to build the standard lib anymore.
If you have an old installation of rust, you might need to remove old nightly (or at least for me it fails to update nightly):
rustup toolchain remove nightly
rustup update
rustup toolchain install nightly
I am trying to make Travis CI build and test the contents of my GitHub repository, which is compatible with Rust 0.12.0 and an older Cargo:
rustc 0.12.0 (ba4081a5a 2014-10-07 13:44:41 -0700)
cargo 0.0.1-pre-nightly (861c07f 2014-10-07 23:29:57 +0000)
I have specified Rust 0.12.0 in the .travis.yml:
language: rust
rust: 0.12.0
script:
- cargo build --verbose
- cargo test --verbose
- rustdoc --test README.md -L target
- cargo doc
The issue I seem to be hitting is that Travis will pick the latest Cargo nightly:
cargo 0.0.1-pre-nightly (fd5d7a9 2014-12-25 04:28:40 +0000)
But this newer version is incompatible with Rust 0.12.0, as it is now using --emit=dep-info where it used to use --dep-info:
--dep-info [FILENAME]
Output dependency info to <filename> after compiling,
in a format suitable for use by Makefiles
This gives rustc invocation errors, as the value for is --emit is invalid:
Running `rustc src/sqlite3.rs --crate-name sqlite3 --crate-type lib -g -C metadata=1c7080eec8c6f90d -C extra-filename=-1c7080eec8c6f90d --out-dir target/deps --emit=dep-info,link -L target/deps -L target/deps -Awarnings`
...
error: unknown emission type: `dep-info`
...
Could not compile `sqlite3`.
I have been looking at other repositories for how to get around this, but it seems they either do not use Cargo with 0.12.0 (which works with Travis) or hit the same issue, like here: https://travis-ci.org/eliovir/rust-ini
I have failed to find any repository that works with Travis, rust 0.12.0 and Cargo. If I can specify the version of Cargo somewhere, I would be able to get around this, but I have failed to find a way to do so in the .travis.yml file.
Of course, with Rust 1.0 coming up, I will just wait for it, if there is no obvious solution that I have overlooked :-)
I agree that tracking nightly is probably the best bet. If there are dependencies you rely on that aren't being updated, then maybe that's a sign that they wont be updated come 1.0 time, either!
All that being said, Travis does allow you to install things before your build. This is completely untested, but you might be able to do something like
before_script:
- wget https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-0.12.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
- tar -xvf rust-0.12.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
- ./rust-0.12.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/install.sh --prefix /tmp/rust-0.12/
- export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/tmp/rust-0.12/bin
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PWD/tmp/rust-0.12/lib
This would download Rust 0.12, unpack and install it somewhere writable (doesn't really matter where). Then you setup env vars to point out where Rust is. Do the same to download a compatible version of Cargo.
If Travis has a "bare" language pack, that would be the best. Otherwise you could try using the Rust buildpack, or maybe just anything else (to avoid dealing with multiple rustc versions).
