Cargo.toml: Git Dependencies

[a-kenji]

When I try to build a package with this in the Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rocket = { git = "https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket.git", rev = "1f1f44f336e5a172361fc1860461bb03667b1ed2", features = ["tls"] }

I get this error message:

fetching Git repository 'https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket.git'fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/1f1f44f336e5a172361fc1860461bb03667b1ed2
error: --- Error ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nix
program 'git' failed with exit code 128
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

But the rev seems to exist.

If you want I can also attach the --show-trace.

I have a similiar issue. Those are the commands it tries to execute in this case:

nix-build        29705  16611    0 /scratch/joerg/.nix-profile/bin/nix-build --show-trace

The fetch command fails in a reproducible way:

Thank you! This fixed the part of:

rocket = { git = "https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket.git", rev = "1f1f44f336e5a172361fc1860461bb03667b1ed2", features = ["tls"] }

But sadly I seem to have a similar Issue with:

ruma = { git = "https://github.com/ruma/ruma", features = ["rand", "client-api", "federation-api", "unstable-pre-spec", "unstable-synapse-quirks", "unstable-exhaustive-types"], rev = "ee814aa84934530d76f5e4b275d739805b49bdef" }

If anyone has a similar issue. I am just patching the Cargo.toml file for now.

Ruma has main as a default branch, and if I specify it in the Cargo.toml everything works.

[Mic92]

Yes. Different default branches are still a problem. The commit that was reverted tried to solve this, but broke the general case.

I'm also trying to build a project (conduit) which has a dependency on ruma using naersk.

It's failing for the same main-branch related reason. However, I'm unable to add branch = "main" to conduit's ruma entry in Cargo.toml as the latest commit on main is incompatible.

Do you have any ideas for how to address this?

(Sorry for resurrecting a closed thread and thanks for the awesome lib!)

[a-kenji]

@jcarrag,
I was also trying to build conduit. I changed the Cargo.toml in a very hacky way.
I used the branch of Ruma to point to a different repository that has the rev as the main branch.
I don't know of any other way to remedy this atm, and would also be happy if anyone has a more
elegant solution.
