Build error after upgrading to latest versions of crates and nightly

help

I have just updated to the latest versions for the crates and nightly build, and I'm hit with this build error:

My toolchain version is 1.27.0.

Please help. Thanks!

It looks like this error is related to Rocket and pear_codegen. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like pear_codegen is using unstable compiler internals. You're almost certainly not using the "correct" version of the compiler. If the documentation doesn't tell you what that version is, then, uh... you'll have to try all of them?

Actually, looking at your nightly date, your compiler is probably too new. Try installing successively older versions.

This is why I stopped depending on crates that use compiler internals.

Where do I find the historical list of nightly versions?

5

I don't think there is one. Some days have nightlies, some don't. Some platforms have a nightly on a given day, and some don't (AFAIK). Pick a date and work backwards or forwards until you find one.

Also, when replying to someone, make sure you reply specifically to their post, or they might not be notified.

I tried all the way back to 1.24.0-nightly and I got this error:

Error: Rocket codegen requires a more recent version of rustc.
Use `rustup update` or your preferred method to update Rust.
Installed version is: 1.24.0-nightly (2017-12-15). Minimum required: 1.27.0-nightly (2018-04-03).

I switched back to the latest and got the same error:

But did you try the one it stated in the error message? 2018-04-03?

Note that the version number of a nightly is mostly irrelevant. What matters is the exact date.

I tried:

ikevin@DESKTOP-HMAIJLV MINGW64 /
$ rustup default nightly-2017-12-17
info: using existing install for 'nightly-2017-12-17-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc'
info: default toolchain set to 'nightly-2017-12-17-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc'

nightly-2017-12-17-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc unchanged - rustc 1.24.0-nightly (3bee2b44c 2017-12-16)

ikevin@DESKTOP-HMAIJLV MINGW64 /
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.24.0-nightly (3bee2b44c 2017-12-16)

I tried the exact date "2017-12-17" and it seems tobe installed, but the funny thing is it shows as "2017-12-16", and it didn't work. (I'm in Asia/Japan. Is my timezone causing a problem?)

I tried: "rustup default nightly-2017-12-18" -- the date is 12-18 - and it shows:

nightly-2017-12-18-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc installed - rustc 1.24.0-nightly (dc39c3169 2017-12-17)

and it builds successfully.

I think my computer's set timezone makes a difference.

In raw form, they are all here: https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/index.html

Only the latest nightly is in that base path -- the rest can be found in the dated subdirectories.

I recall that it was fixed the other day in https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/commit/0146d31cf110a87574516a49a620bf635b7a4ac1#diff-574f02bf81a557f25b5346e071cbaef8 and https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Pear/commit/b0828bd5e31474f1503d592b57229a283c4e9fb6

Did you try updating cargo with cargo update? As well, I learned from others to rustup toolchain install nightly-2018-04-03 and then cargo +nigthly-2018-04-03 run (there is a newer commit but not sure about that).
