Clippy and Rustfmt on stable Rust 1.31

help
1

As mentioned in Rust 1.31 release notes, Clippy and Rustfmt are available on stable Rust. However, when I run rustup component add clippy and rustup component add rustfmt, I got the following errors:

error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' does not contain component 'clippy' for target 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'
error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' does not contain component 'rustfmt' for target 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'

cargo version cargo 1.31.0 (339d9f9c8 2018-11-16)

rustc --version rustc 1.31.0 (abe02cefd 2018-12-04)

rustup --version rustup 1.16.0 (beab5ac2b 2018-12-06)

Did you upgrade rustup AFTER your upgradation to 1.31? If so, uninstalling the toolchain and reinstall it will help, but i'm not sure if there's an easier method.

thanks, reinstalling toolchain fixed the problem

I'm having the same problem, but I'm on wondows, even after a reinstall it doesn't work. Do you know if there is a way to fix it?

I had the same problem but it seems fixed now. For the record these are the commands I ran (the order of the commands is important):

rustup self update
rustup toolchain uninstall stable
rustup toolchain install stable

rustup --version should give you 1.16. If that doesn't work you could try rustup self uninstall and then download rust again.

Woops. It looks like it was caused by "nightly-by-default". See log below:

PS C:\Users\pzixe> rustup toolchain list
