Update to 2018 edition and prune dependencies #63
Conversation
Update the project to 2018 edition in both code and documentation for usage, prunes unused dependencies and removes dependency on failure, preferring the std Error trait. There was also a misleading error message about not being able to find a temporary file directory, which would have actually have been caused by a failure to encode a filepath into UTF-8 (https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/std/path.rs.html#1848-1850). However this error should not happen anyway by just using the PathBuf directly to make the full path for the persisted file output.

Should note that the test failures are due to rust versions that do not support 2018 edition in the matrix - I could remove them or update to a more recent version? |

This repository seems unmaintained, pinging members of the rust-cli organization: @matthiasbeyer @codesections @Dylan-DPC @XAMPPRocky |

Thanks for the ping. I haven't personally been involved with this repo; if this thread doesn't get a reply soon, I'll raise the issue of this repo's status in our next meeting. |

@Profpatsch this isn't unmaintained, it's just that we were focussing on the other repos for a while. So, since we are migrating to 2018 edition, we need to update the minimum rust version in the CI. Currently the build is (expectedly) failing on 1.25 and 1.29 because those versions don't support 2018 edition. So you will have to modify it. I would prefer to bump it all the way to 1.36.0 (stable - 2) |
1.25 and 1.29 do not support 2018 edition so move to 1.36 as minimum supported version (2 minor versions lower than current stable as of 2019-10-17).

Thank you, have updated to 1.36.0 as suggested! Tests are now passing! |
