This currently impedes crate2nix from working with any packages that have winit in their dependency tree.

[kolloch]

Thank you for your report! With which version did you try? On which OS? Or am I doing things wrong?

This is what works for me on master:

❯ git clone https://github.com/Smithay/wayland-rs/
❯ cd wayland-rs
❯ cargo generate-lockfile
❯ crate2nix generate
❯ nix build -f Cargo.nix workspaceMembers.wayland-protocols

Obviously, that doesn't test if it actually build the right thing but I am also not getting into the error above. (I am using nixpkgs-unstable which unfortunately is required because there is still a steady stream of bug fixed to buildRustCrate)

[lovesegfault]

I'm on crate2nix master and on the latest nixos-unstable-small channel of NixOS.

It actually took me quite a while to reproduce this this morning. Compiling wayland-rs as you did seems to work; the failure happens when you compile a reverse dependency. How to repro:

❯ git clone git@github.com:rust-windowing/glutin.git
❯ cd glutin
❯ cargo generate-lockfile
❯ crate2nix generate
❯ nix build -f Cargo.nix workspaceMembers.glutin

This will explode on the right dep:

❯ nix build -f Cargo.nix workspaceMembers.glutin

Believe it or not this is the cause: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt/issues/3988

@kolloch How can I configure rustfmt for crate2nix?

[kolloch]

You mean that rustfmt is called in the build somehow normally? And in crate2nix, it is not called or called with the wrong arguments?

crate2nix/buildRustCrate does not have specific code for rustfmt as far as I know...

[lovesegfault]

That's correct, rustfmt is somehow involved here, and setting normalize_doc_attributes = false in your .rustfmt.toml solves the issue.

How exactly this happens I don't fully understand, it's some macro magic. cc. @nagisa who knows things.

[yusdacra]

I have the same issue but adding normalize_doc_attributes = false doesn't seem to solve the issue. My rustfmt.toml:

unstable_features = true
wrap_comments = false
max_width = 80
normalize_comments = false
normalize_doc_attributes = false

I'm using NixOS on nixos-unstable channel. I have used nightly Rust, as unstable_features require nightly. Also tried stable, but same issue. These are all tried within the glutin repo. No idea what's going on.

[lovesegfault]

I solved this by adding a crate override like this:

    wayland-protocols = attrs: {
      CARGO_FEATURE_UNSTABLE_PROTOCOLS = "";
      CARGO_FEATURE_CLIENT = "";
      postConfigure = (attrs.postConfigure or "") + ''
        sed -i 's/-/_/g' target/env
      '';
    };

The normalize_doc_attributes was a red herring, the real issue is buildRustCrate doesn't yet correctly set all of the envvars that Cargo normally exports, one of them being the CARGO_FEATURE_$NAME flag.

I also ran into this issue a while ago and submitted a PR against buildRustCrate to fix this:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/90193

[yusdacra]

The PR solved the issue, everything builds perfectly now. Thanks for the great work!

i'm getting WaylandError(Connection(NoWaylandLib)) is this related?
