Failed to build test-runner isolated.

[CraftyDH]

Failed to build test-runner isolated from the main repo.

I modified cargo.toml to use the git versions of uefi and uefi-services instead of a local path.

ie:

[dependencies]
uefi = { path = "..", features = ['exts'] }
uefi-services = { path = "../uefi-services" }

was changed to

[dependencies]
uefi = { git = "https://github.com/rust-osdev/uefi-rs", features = ['exts'] }
uefi-services = { git = "https://github.com/rust-osdev/uefi-rs" }

However the following errors were generated. Is their any reason for why this change should not work?

Using the cargo tree reveals that in this scenario you end up with two instances of the uefi-rs crate in the dependency tree:

• uefi-test-runner depends on uefi from Git
• uefi-test-runner also depends on uefi-services from Git...
  • ... which depends on uefi version 0.11 from crates.io

The solution is to use some Cargo overrides instead to make sure you replace uefi package with the Git version all along the dependency tree.

Thanks @GabrielMajeri that worked.
