v0.25/v0.25.1 does not build with cargo-1.70.0 (feature/dependency problem with env_logger and/or clap_builder)

[z1atk0]

Describe the bug
Out of old habit, I'm usually "rolling my own" instead of downloading binaries. The latest gitui-v0.25 does not build with cargo-1.70.0 for me, although this version should be fine according to the published build requirements.

To Reproduce

1. download and extract v0.25 source tarball
2. cd into gitui-0.25.0
3. make build-release
4. see the build fail immediately

[zlatko@disclosure:~/usrlocal/src]$ cd gitui-0.25.0/
[zlatko@disclosure:~/usrlocal/src/gitui-0.25.0]$ make build-release 
cargo build --release
    Updating crates.io index
error: failed to select a version for `env_logger`.
    ... required by package `asyncgit v0.25.0 (/usr/local/src/gitui-0.25.0/asyncgit)`
versions that meet the requirements `^0.11` (locked to 0.11.2) are: 0.11.2

the package `asyncgit` depends on `env_logger`, with features: `anstream` but `env_logger` does not have these features.
 It has an optional dependency with that name, but that dependency uses the "dep:" syntax in the features table, so it does not have an implicit feature with that name.

make: *** [Makefile:19: build-release] Error 101
[zlatko@disclosure:~/usrlocal/src/gitui-0.25.0]$ cargo -V
cargo 1.70.0

Expected behavior
Should either build fine as usual, or the build requirements should be updated (in case my rust/cargo is too old).

Context (please complete the following information):

• OS/Distro + Version: Slackware64 15.0
• GitUI Version 0.25
• Rust version: 1.70.0

[extrawurst]

its interesting. my first thought: impossible we build with our MSRV on CI, only to find out no, I forgot to update that.
problem found? wrong, the update shows that CI builds fine with 1.70: #2097

[extrawurst]

damn maybe its just the same as #2090 - can you try building with cargo build --release --locked or cargo install --path "." --locked ?

[z1atk0]

I did try both variants, but neither worked. Both resulted in exactly the same error message as before. I also tried cleaning out the package/crate cache in $CARGO_HOME first, which also didn't make any difference. 🤷‍♂️

[z1atk0]

Update: just tried 0.25.1 to see if this happens to fix my problem as well. Still the same error, though. However, when I tried to cargo install gitui --locked (as opposed to cargo build --release --locked), as mentioned in issue #2098, I now get a different error, which states that my rust/cargo is too old:

Caused by:
  package `clap_builder v4.5.1` cannot be built because it requires rustc 1.74 or newer, while the currently active rustc version is 1.70.0

Does this help to clear things up a bit, or does it make matters even more "WTF?" than before? 🤔 🤷‍♂️ 😇

[z1atk0]

Just for the record: make build-release (ie. cargo build --release --locked) works just fine with cargo-1.76.0. I upgraded from rust-1.70.0 to rust-1.76.0 today, after GNOME's loupe-46.0 build failed with the exact same error message that I got initially regarding env_logger (except for the ... required by package: part, of course 😉):

error: failed to select a version for `env_logger`.
    ... required by package `asyncgit v0.25.0 (/usr/local/src/gitui-0.25.0/asyncgit)`
versions that meet the requirements `^0.11` (locked to 0.11.2) are: 0.11.2

the package `asyncgit` depends on `env_logger`, with features: `anstream` but `env_logger` does not have these features.
 It has an optional dependency with that name, but that dependency uses the "dep:" syntax in the features table, so it does not have an implicit feature with that name.

I got the same issue with cargo 1.66.0-nightly (9210810d1 2022-10-25).
rustup update solved the issue.

You can try modifying it to the following code:

env_logger = { version = "0.11", default-features = false, features = [
    "color",
] }

[MetaMan2023]

@wugeer where would one make that change (what file)? Would that be in the config file for the package or env_logger, etc. and what would we be replacing with that?

I am having a similar issue with another cargo package.

[wugeer]

@MetaMan2023 You can check all the Cargo.toml files in the project and find it in the Cargo.toml file.
