Ignore `workspace.default-members` when running `cargo install` on root package of a non-virtual workspace ### What does this PR try to resolve? * Fixes #11058 Two observable behaviors are fixed: 1. When running `cargo install` with `--path` or `--git` and specifically requesting the root package of a non-virtual workspace, `cargo install` will accidentally build `workspace.default-members` instead of the requested root package. 2. Further, if that `default-members` does not include the root package, it will install binaries from those other packages (the `default-members`) and claim they were the binaries from the root package! There is no way, actually, to install the root package binaries. These two behaviors have the same root cause: * `cargo install` effectively does `cargo build --release` in the requested package directory, but when this is the root of a non-virtual workspace, that builds `default-members` instead of the requested package. ### How should we test and review this PR? I have included a test exhibiting this behavior. It currently fails in the manner indicated in the test, and passes with the changes included in this PR. I'm not sure the solution in the PR is the _best_ solution, but the alternative I am able to come up with involves much more extensive changes to how `cargo install` works, to produce a distinct `CompileOptions` for every package built. I tried to keep the new workspace "API" `ignore_default_members()` as narrowly-scoped in its effect as possible. ### Additional information The only way I could think this behavior change could impact someone is if they were somehow using `cargo install --path` (or `--git`) and wanting it to actually install the binaries from all of `default-members`. However, I don't believe that's possible, since if there are multiple packages with binaries, I believe cargo requires the packages to be specified. So someone would have to be additionally relying on specifying just the root package, but then wanting the binaries from more than just the root. I think this is probably an acceptable risk for merging!
Cargo
Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your project.
To start using Cargo, learn more at The Cargo Book.
To start developing Cargo itself, read the Cargo Contributor Guide.
Code Status
Code documentation: https://docs.rs/cargo/
Installing Cargo
Cargo is distributed by default with Rust, so if you've got rustc
installed
locally you probably also have cargo
installed locally.
Compiling from Source
Requirements
Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:
cargo
andrustc
- A C compiler for your platform
git
(to clone this repository)
Other requirements:
The following are optional based on your platform and needs.
-
pkg-config
— This is used to help locate system packages, such aslibssl
headers/libraries. This may not be required in all cases, such as using vendored OpenSSL, or on Windows. -
OpenSSL — Only needed on Unix-like systems and only if the
vendored-openssl
Cargo feature is not used.This requires the development headers, which can be obtained from the
libssl-dev
package on Ubuntu oropenssl-devel
with apk or yum or theopenssl
package from Homebrew on macOS.If using the
vendored-openssl
Cargo feature, then a static copy of OpenSSL will be built from source instead of using the system OpenSSL. This may require additional tools such asperl
andmake
.On macOS, common installation directories from Homebrew, MacPorts, or pkgsrc will be checked. Otherwise it will fall back to
pkg-config
.On Windows, the system-provided Schannel will be used instead.
LibreSSL is also supported.
Optional system libraries:
The build will automatically use vendored versions of the following libraries. However, if they are provided by the system and can be found with pkg-config
, then the system libraries will be used instead:
libcurl
— Used for network transfers.libgit2
— Used for fetching git dependencies.libssh2
— Used for SSH access to git repositories.libz
(aka zlib) — Used for data compression.
It is recommended to use the vendored versions as they are the versions that are tested to work with Cargo.
Compiling
First, you'll want to check out this repository
git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo.git
cd cargo
With cargo
already installed, you can simply run:
cargo build --release
Adding new subcommands to Cargo
Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify Cargo itself. See the Wiki page for more details and a list of known community-developed subcommands.
Releases
Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases. High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Detailed release notes are available in this repo at CHANGELOG.md.
