[Possible bug] Builder example isn't working

[ithinkicancode]

Describe the bug The "builder" example in the examples dir isn't working - the program panics.

To Reproduce It seems the builder feature is not released :) but I was trying that out. I set the version to this git repo in toml and added "builder" feature. Then I copied builder.rs and all the associated yaml files and then ran the program. The program panicked with the following error:

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: RecipeFailed("Dialog", ResolveFailed { var_failure: InvalidConfig { message: "Expected variable as key", config: Object {"LinearLayout": Object {"children": Array [Object {"TextView": String("Fancy prompt")}, String("DummyView"), Object {"Titled": Object {"child": Object {"LabeledField": Object {"label": String("Please write:"), "name": String("edit"), "on_edit": String("$on_edit")}}, "title": String("Edit area")}}, Object {"Button": Object {"callback": String("$randomize"), "label": String("Randomize")}}, Object {"VSpace": Number(2)}, Object {"TextView": Object {"with": Array [Object {"name": String("status")}]}}], "with": Array [Object {"padding": Number(1)}, String("full_width"), Object {"fixed_height": Number(11)}]}} }, config_failure: RecipeFailed("LinearLayout", ResolveFailed { var_failure: InvalidConfig { message: "Expected variable as key", config: Object {"Titled": Object {"child": Object {"LabeledField": Object {"label": String("Please write:"), "name": String("edit"), "on_edit": String("$on_edit")}}, "title": String("Edit area")}} }, config_failure: RecipeNotFound("Titled") }) })', app/src/main.rs:74:32
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

I understand if this feature is not ready, as it's not documented anywhere and the builder feature is not published (hence pointing to github in toml). :)

Expected behavior I was hoping the example will work. I like the idea of composing UI in a declarative way.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Environment

• latest version of MacOS
• Backend used: ncurses
• Current locale (run locale in a terminal)
• Cursive version (from crates.io, from git, ...)

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Hi, and thanks for the report!

The example should have been working (it was working the last time I tried).

It's possible you'd need to update the dependencies (the inventory crate in particular may be susceptible to breaking with new rust versions).

Will investigate when I get a chance.

I can successfully run cargo run --example builder --features builder from this repo, does that not work for you?

Edit: indeed, running this from a separate crate doesn't seem to work. :(

I think I found the issue (the builder macro had poor hygiene).

Can you try the latest commit?
