Patch in .toml file for crate with multiple members doesn't bring in all members

[John_Nagle]

So I had a Cargo.toml file that had a line

rend3 = "0.2.3"

"rend3" has a list of features in its Cargo.toml file:

members = [
    "rend3",
    "rend3-egui",
    "rend3-framework",
    "rend3-gltf",
    "rend3-imgui",
    "rend3-routine",
    "rend3-types"
]

So pulling in "rend3" from "crates.io" makes all those names visible. Fine.

But there's a bug in that which is fixed on Github but not yet on crates.io, and I thus need to use the version from Github. So, in my Cargo.toml file that uses rend3, I overrode crates.io with

[patch.crates.io]
rend3 = { git = 'https://github.com/Bve-Reborn/rend3.git' }

This brings in "rend3", but the other members are not visible. I get the compile error

use rend3_routine;
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no external crate `rend3_routine`

How do I bring in all the members? Thanks.

You will have to use [patch.crates-io] for each member of the repo. In addition you need to specify rend3-routine as dependency in [dependencies] too to be able to use it in your crate. Also I don't know of it is a mistake when copying to your post, but [patch.crates.io] should be [patch.crates-io]. (crates-io with a - instead of a .)

You will have to use [patch.crates-io] for each member of the repo.

Turns out that won't work. The new repo has a different list of members than the one in crates.io, and you can't patch a member that isn't in the old one. So, renaming members breaks the patch system.

So I just did it the hard way, commenting out the crates.io references and putting in ones to github. No use of patch at all.
