cargo check failed but cargo run always work

[pickfire]

I can't reproduce this but it happens every day, 3 days in a row for me. When developing helix, after I checked out other commits using git rebase or git revert, quite a few time I do cargo check, cargo check will always fail even though cargo run works.

Note that this happens in the past for me, but that was after switching features and not as often as getting it daily, but last time it was very rare for me, maybe once a few months like after upgrades or after version updates. But this happen daily just because I checked out different commits.

So the solution is to do cargo clean every time this happen, at least daily for me when working on helix project, note that I don't code so frequently but it happens very frequently whenever I switch commits. Maybe due to workspace? Or maybe due to git conflicts like <<<? https://github.com/helix-editor/helix

I expected to see this happen: if cargo run works, cargo check should work

Instead, this happened: cargo check failed always, then I tried cargo run, it still failed, even after I fixed the errors, cargo check failed but cargo run can work

@pickfire Can you post the output from when cargo check fails

[pickfire]

The output for each occurence is different. But I only have the third day and one from last week, the two day before the third day the output is gone by now.

I faced another issue today. cargo check error after I git rebase master. Even after rebase is done it still have issue. I use rust-analyzer, not sure if it's related.

Seemed like cargo doc is affected as well, cargo check works but both cargo run and cargo doc does not work. Both have similar errors but not exactly the same. Same thing, it happened after git rebase. I tried removing target/doc/ and did cargo doc again but it have the same issue.

I had this issue again. From what I see, in helix. It happens always whenever I did a rebase or cherry-pick. I am not sure how to reproduce a minimum reproducible example.

Lately I got these issues instead. Same issue but now the warnings are similar. If I removed the rmeta files myself, then it still have the same issue but for other crates.

[kamulos]

I was regularly experiencing a similar issue with Rust 1.57.0, where sometimes after switching git branch some of the types and symbols cargo check evaluates were just outdated.

One piece of the puzzle might be, that I recently started switching back and forth from developing on my main system and a Docker container where the folder is mounted without always cleaning the target directory.

This might be incidental, but the times, where this started occurring and where I started sometimes switching to the docker container are pretty close.

[nonlinearthink]

I seem to have the same problem, it's cause by use a crate before extern crate in another file:

use your_crate::fn;
extern crate your_crate;
