No syntax::ast::MetaItem_ in latest nightly

[robojeb]

When compiling under the latest nightly diesel_codegen fails to compile because of renaming of types in the syntax::ast module. The error is:

unresolved import 'syntax::ast::MetaItem_'. There is no 'MetaItem_' in 'syntax::ast'

This is being fixed by #217, stay tuned!

In case anyone else runs into this, a temporary fix is to clone the repository and copy the files in diesel_codegen to wherever cargo stores repositories. In my case, this was

~/.multirust/toolchains/nightly/cargo/registry/src/github.com-xxxxxxxxxxxx/diesel_codegen-0.5.0

Or just point your cargo file at git?

@sgrif I attempted to do that, but I was unsure what url to use for diesel_codegen. https://github.com/sgrif/diesel/diesel_codegen and https://github.com/sgrif/diesel/tree/master/diesel_codegen both failed to clone.

[sgrif]

Just point it at this repo.

I didn't realise that was possible. Thank you! That is much easier.

You can also "override" some crates globally. Create a file named ~/.cargo/config, and type this:

paths = [
    "/home/barosl/cloned-git-repos/diesel",
]

In this way you don't need to modify your Cargo.toml. But don't forget to remove the global path after the official version is released, otherwise you will use the outdated (cloned) version forever.
