Oha, thank you for creating this issue!

I can't reproduce it locally and our CI also runs fine, I've created a branch with more detailed error reporting. Could you please try this and post the output?

cargo install --git https://github.com/paritytech/cargo-contract.git --branch cmichi-add-build-script-output --force --locked

This command works! Do you know the root cause here? @cmichi

@AsceticBear Unfortunately not, we tried to reproduce it on different operating systems, but haven't succeeded. We've added some more error output to the installation process, if it reappears this might give a better idea what could have gone wrong.

I think it's likely an issue with the ink_linting folder not being properly copied during installation, but I can't think of any scenario how this would happen. I guess you don't have any exotic in your setup? No exotic file system or so?

I'll close this issue for now, as you've managed to install now.
