this issue used to prevent me from using rustlings, but now it seems to be fixed. i am using an m1 mba

[manyinsects]

Off the top of my head, this was related to Serde shipping binary blobs for some time, which has been reverted now. Do let me know if this is still happening to anyone, in which case this would be something else (but probably still best reported to Serde itself)

Hi!

Using Win 11, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on WSL.

EDIT: rust nightly

I've just encountered the same error, will head over to serde to report it, but here it is for your reference too:

error: failed to compile `rustlings v5.6.1 (/home/USER/rustlings)`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/home/USER/rustlings/target`.
To reuse those artifacts with a future compilation, set the environment variable `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` to that path.

[sanderpick]

perhaps the install script should use --locked? that would avoid this unknown feature error?

[mo8it]

The installation script already uses --locked.
This problem should be solved by releasing version 6. The beta version is already available.

[sanderpick]

Oh duh, I should have looked at main. Cheers.
