Problem

When running cargo run --bin aardwolf-server or cargo run --bin aardwolf-server --features actix the following Warning would show up:

warning: unused `Server` that must be used
   --> aardwolf-actix/src/lib.rs:179:5
    |
179 | /     HttpServer::new(move || {
180 | |         let state = AppConfig {
181 | |             generator: url_generator.clone(),
182 | |             pool: pool.clone(),
...   |
230 | |     .bind(&listen_address)?
231 | |     .run();
    | |__________^
    |
    = note: Server does nothing unless you `.await` or poll it
    = note: `#[warn(unused_must_use)]` on by default

This actually turned out to be a breaking error because the HttpServer was never actually told to run.

Solution

So... with the help of CodeGPT (I kid you not...) I was able to fix enough of the lib.rs to bring up the HttpServer again.

ChatGPT Explaination:

Since the run function is not declared as async, you cannot directly use the .await method. One possible solution is to use a block_on to run the asynchronous runtime and then use execute to run the server:

{ Rust Code Block }

Note that you need to spawn a separate thread to run the HttpServer with tokio::runtime::Runtime::new().unwrap().block_on(async { ... }) since you cannot directly use .await in a synchronous function.

The provided code still had errors but VS Code: Rust Analyzer was able to guide me through the rest of the fixes.
