gitpod setup fails

The gitpod setup fails with

error[E0658]: use of unstable library feature 'renamed_spin_loop'

error: could not compile `spinning_top`

warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...
error: failed to compile `nu v0.30.1 (/workspace/nushell)`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/workspace/nushell/target`

The error looks similar to #3282 which was solved by updating rust to 1.51
Default rust version for gitpod is 1.51 see https://github.com/gitpod-io/workspace-images/blob/master/full/Dockerfile#L196 so should be good?
(Also the README states you need rust 1.47 or later is this correct?)

I was able to resolve this in gitpod by entering this into the shell:
bash -cl "rustup default stable"

I think the default rust version is behind which is causing this error. I don't know enough about gitpod (or rust for that matter :S) to give any more of a comment on this 😂

I'm getting this same error when running cargo install nu. Unfortunately, I don't have rustup on the box I want to run this on, and I don't have access to install it there.

[aleybe]

Are you using this inside the gitpod for nushell @ijt ?

[ijt]

I wasn't but then I took your suggestion and built it within gitpod, then scp-ed it to my box. Now it's working for me. Thanks!

this is still an issue

[TommasoBianchi]

I think the issue here might be related with the fact that gitpod is not rebuilding the custom Docker image on prebuilds unless the Dockerfile is changed, which leads to the usage of an old image with an outdated rust version (looks like 1.48 to me).

A way to solve this might be to make use of a gitpod init task to run rustup default stable (similarly to what @aleybe suggested, but in an automated way).

this seems to be fixed:

🤙 This task ran as a workspace prebuild
