Is it possible to download previous nightly builds? - rust

I have downloaded the latest Rust nightly and added this dependency to Cargo.toml:
[dependencies.http]
git = "https://github.com/chris-morgan/rust-http.git"
I'm getting lots of errors for cargo build:
...
error: aborting due to 7 previous errors
...
error: aborting due to previous error
Could not compile `regex`.
I guess this is because some dependencies have not been updated to the latest rust version. Is it possible to download the nightly from yesterday or the day before?
Installed versions:
$ rustc --version
rustc 0.13.0-nightly (c89417130 2015-01-02 21:56:13 +0000)
$ cargo --version
cargo 0.0.1-pre-nightly (1a1868b 2014-12-31 21:39:41 +0000)

If you are using rustup (the currently preferred manner of installing Rust):
rustup install nightly-2016-06-03
If you want to use the standalone Rust installers, previous versions are kept. From this Reddit thread, which links to this Rust issue:
They are officially hosted.
wget https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/2014-12-08/rust-nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin.pkg
wget https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/2014-12-12/rust-nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
If you are still using rustup.sh (not .rs), you should be able to use something like:
rustup.sh --channel=nightly --date=2016-06-03

It looks like your solana install is quite out of date. I would install either 1.8.11 or just run solana-install update
At times, also consider downloading to like in my case I had to change from 2021 in my Cargo.toml file to 2018 and this has worked

Unable to specify `edition2021` in order to use unstable packages in Rust

I want to run an example via Cargo but I am facing an error:
error: failed to parse manifest at `/Users/aviralsrivastava/dev/subxt/Cargo.toml`
The full stacktrace is:
error: failed to parse manifest at `/Users/aviralsrivastava/dev/subxt/Cargo.toml`
Caused by:
feature `edition2021` is required
The package requires the Cargo feature called `edition2021`, but that feature is not stabilized in this version of Cargo (1.56.0-nightly (b51439fd8 2021-08-09)).
Consider adding `cargo-features = ["edition2021"]` to the top of Cargo.toml (above the [package] table) to tell Cargo you are opting in to use this unstable feature.
See https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/unstable.html#edition-2021 for more information about the status of this feature.
Based on the suggestion, I go ahead and modify the Cargo.toml:
Consider adding `cargo-features = ["edition2021"]` to the top of Cargo.toml (above the [package] table) to tell Cargo you are opting in to use this unstable feature.
diff --git a/Cargo.toml b/Cargo.toml

I still face the same error as if nothing was changed in the toml file.
How do I resolve the above error in order to use unstable packages?
Update the Rust to satisfy the new edition 2021.
rustup default nightly && rustup update
Thanks to #ken.
Yes, you can use the stable channel too!
But I love nightly personally.
Edition 2021 is now part of the stable channel.
As what happened to me, you probably just need to update your stable version by running rustup update stable.
That should fix the issue, and not require you to switch over to the nightly channel.
Try:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y
source $HOME/.cargo/env && rustup default nightly && rustup update
Seen this error twice when working with Solana. You can get this error if Solana is not up to date. Update it with sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/v1.10.26/install)"
Or preferably find the latest version and instructions here
https://docs.solana.com/cli/install-solana-cli-tools
Some machines (including those with M1 chips) may be unable to build

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/

Rust & Amethyst - Error [E0433]: failed to resolve: could not find `__rt` in `quote`

I'm learning Rust from "Practical Rust Projects" by Shing Lyu. I'm now trying to build a game following the steps in Chapter 4. I'm working on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
After installing Rust and the Amethyst command line, I created a new project via amethyst new cat_volleyball. The next step is to run the engine using cargo run --features=vulkan
. When I do so, I get the error prompt below. Do you have suggestions on how to fix this?

TL;DR Edit the Cargo.lock manually, please check the title below : How to force cargo to use yanked version of sub-dependency (for the proper steps)
Why this happens ?
This happened because in err-derive-0.1.6 is using quote-1.0.2 as dependency but in it's cargo.toml dependency declared like this:
[dependencies.quote]
version = "1.0.2"
This means cargo will use the latest minor update, so if quote-1.0.3 is out then cargo will use 1.0.3 instead 1.0.2. Please check caret-requirement. The problem in here is quote-1.0.3 breaks backward compatibility that comes from quote-1.0.2. In this case quote
How to force cargo to use specific version of sub-dependency
You can fix this issue by forcing the sub-dependency to use compatible version for your dependency.
This command will do it :
> cargo update -p quote --precise 1.0.2
How to force cargo to use yanked version of sub-dependency
Looks like quote-1.0.2 was yanked from crates.io, so command up above will not work because cargo will not be able to find the yanked version on crates.io . Since cargo update modifies the cargo.lock we can do it manually. To start clean :
Remove Cargo.lock
Run cargo update ( this will generate latest version Cargo.lock )
Edit Cargo.lock
Find the incompatible version of package in cargo.lock which is quote-1.0.3, It should look like this:
[[package]]
name = "quote"
version = "1.0.3"
source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"
dependencies = [
"proc-macro2 1.0.9 (registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index)",
]
then simply change version to the compatible version in our case it is "1.0.2"
[[package]]
name = "quote"
version = "1.0.2"
After doing that do not run cargo update again, it will overwrite your changes and you'll not able to compile your project. Please remember this is a workaround for being able to continue the development, there is a reason to yank crates, do not use it in production it is best to wait dependent crates to update itself.
Note : In some cases you may get an error after editing cargo.lock:
error: Found argument 'Cargo.lock' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context
#albus_c fixed this by doing :
A note for posterity: I fixed the issue removing rustc
(sudo apt remove rustc) and reinstalled as recommended on the Rust website,
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
After that everything worked fine.

How to make Travis CI work with Rust 0.12.0 and Cargo?

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).
