How to parse toml::value::Table into a struct

help
1

I want to parse a Table into struct Event using try_into() function which should work fine, according to the documentation. However, the compiler didn't seem to understand my intention and appeared to think the reference in the following code is this try_into().

#[derive(Clone, Debug, serde::Deserialize, PartialEq)]
pub struct Event {
    pub description: Option<String>,
    pub shootingdate: toml::value::Datetime,
    pub images: Vec<usize>,
}

fn parse_table(table: toml::value::Table) -> Event {
    table.try_into().unwrap()
}

With the error:

error[E0277]: the trait bound `Event: From<toml::map::Map<std::string::String, Value>>` is not satisfied
  --> src/lib.rs:10:5

What version of toml are you using? That method looks to be new to 0.6.0.

I am using toml-0.6.0 as shown in the screenshot.

What does this show?

cargo tree -p toml --depth 0

E.g.

% cargo test

Thanks. It turns out that I forgot to run cargo update and I didn't notice that the crates on playground don't always use the latest version.
