can't find crate for 'XYZ' (windows-msvc only)

[newfla]

Hi,
I'm unable to build the diffusion-rs library using x86_64-pc-windows-msvc toolchain.
First time that I had this issue was in November when using gh runner logs: at the time I didn't give too much weight to the problem since on my Windows machine it compiled correctly and I assumed there was some problem with windows runner.
Since last Wednesday I've been having the same issue on my local machine too: I've tried toolchian from 1.80 to 1.84.1 (+ nightly) with the same result.
Linux and Macos work just fine.
I'm pretty sure I have seen some updates to vs build tools running in windows update but i don't recall which they are precisely.

• Windows 11 Pro 24H2 build 26100.3037
• vsconfig.txt

Build command: cargo build

Let me know if there is any other information I can provide

@jieyouxu Did you clone the git submodules too? 🤔

[jieyouxu]

I suspect this is a cargo resolver v2 feature unification thing, but I'm having a hard time pinning down which one is causing it (the main package's transitive deps vs the -sys package's [build-dependencies]). To me

error[E0463]: can't find crate for `hf_hub`

seems more likely to be a cargo dep resolution thing, so going to transfer this issue to cargo issue tracker (but please do kick it back to rust-lang/rust if it doesn't seem like a cargo concern).

Not sure if helpful for cargo triagers, but here's

@rustbot transfer cargo

[MilesConn]

I'm also having this issue. I've tried to debug as much as possible. All of a sudden cargo can't find crate. I've done

cargo clean
rm -rf ~/.cargo/registry
rm -rf ~/.cargo/git

and a few other things and I keep hitting can't find crate after reducing it to a minimal example. It'd build in the beginning and then I'd run some cargo cleans and it'd fail.

cargo --version      
cargo 1.84.0 (66221abde 2024-11-19)

I've confirmed I have the files in the cargo registry.

[weihanglo]

It'd build in the beginning and then I'd run some cargo cleans and it'd fail.

Did you mean the first cargo build succeeded, and after running cargo clean subsequent cargo build started failing? Would you mind sharing a minimal reproducible example?

Were you also on Windows? Note that the original issue was described as only happening on Windows.

[MilesConn]

Did you mean the first cargo build succeeded, and after running cargo clean subsequent cargo build started failing? Would you mind sharing a minimal reproducible example?

Yes that's what happened. Reproducing in a minimal example might be difficult I think it's because there are two versions of the dependencies in my workspace so I'll try and make a reproducible example.

Were you also on Windows? Note that the original issue was described as only happening on Windows.

No I'm on NixOs but I saw can't find crate for 'XYZ' and thought it was potentially related. Sorry I don't mean to pollute the issue tracker

[weihanglo]

@MilesConn for NixOS/Nixpkgs, see #12935 (comment). I am 98% sure the 'XYZ' crate you saw was proc-macro related.
