"cargo install diesel_cli" fails with a generic overflow on latest nightly

[blm768]

I'm running cargo install diesel_cli on a fairly fresh installation of Arch Linux, and cargo is spitting out an error message partway through the process:

$ cargo install diesel_cli
    Updating registry `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index`
  Installing diesel_cli v1.0.0

It seems to compile and install fine on stable, though, so it shouldn't be a significant issue unless it's also affecting other users.

What makes this particularly odd is that compiling Diesel as a project dependency works just fine for me on nightly; it's only cargo install diesel_cli that chokes on the diesel crate. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

Versions

• Rust: 1.24.0-nightly
• Diesel: 1.0.0
• Operating System: Linux (Arch)

This appears to be a known regression in beta and nightly rust, I believe this is the same issue that was encountered on Diesel's nightly ci builds.

rust-lang/rust#47139

Yes, this is an issue in Rust not Diesel.

It would be very useful to mention here which version of rust solves the issue.

From the link to comments, it seems that the problem was solved by this commit, but am unable to install diesel_cli using following versions:

• nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin unchanged - rustc 1.26.0-nightly (80785a547 2018-03-30)
• stable-x86_64-apple-darwin unchanged - rustc 1.25.0 (84203cac6 2018-03-25)

My build was failing but not due to the reasons mentioned in this issue. I was getting following error:

error: linking with `cc` failed: exit code: 1
 |
  = note: "cc" "-m64" "-L" ...
  ...
  = note: ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient

And I was able to resolve it by using:

cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres
