Fresh install on macos can't install rustfmt and clippy using rustup

[StefPac]

Following the instructions in https://beta.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started I ran the commands:

rustup add component rustfmt and rustup add component clippy and got the following errors:

error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-apple-darwin' does not contain component 'rustfmt' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin'

and

error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-apple-darwin' does not contain component 'clippy' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin'

I am new to the community, so apologies if this has an obvious explanation.

Could you try running rustup self update and then try again please? You'll also need to try on eitherr beta or nightly toolchains, not stable.

[StefPac]

No luck with rustup self update. By the way the same problem arose on a Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS box:

error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' does not contain component 'rustfmt' for target 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'

As for the beta and nightly toolchains, is the documentation at https://beta.rust-lang.org/ supposed to work only with those? I think the website should explicitly mention it, because the wording suggests that the only beta is the website, not the tooling.

I don't know if it's related, but on Windows running rustup self update will say it's downloading, then say that it's successfully updated to 1.14.0, which is the version I get with rustup -V. Running rustup self update again repeats the cycle.

On GNU/Linux, rustup self update did update to 1.15.0. (I did this a few days ago, so I don't know if something has changed since.)

[nrc]

There were distribution problems with rustup on Windows, they're currently being addressed, so hopefully this should be resolved today.

I'm seeing the same issue on macOS 10.12.

error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-apple-darwin' does not contain component 'rustfmt' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin'

I did rustup self update and here is the output of -V

rustup 1.16.0 (beab5ac2b 2018-12-06)

This is also preventing the removal of clippy-preview

rustup component remove clippy-preview-x86_64-apple-darwin

error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-apple-darwin' does not contain component 'clippy-preview-x86_64-apple-darwin' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin'

But still does not work with "stable":

EDIT:

rustup toolchain remove stable && rustup toolchain add stable

fixed the problem.

[rhysd]

I could also fix this issue by removing and adding stable again.

Thanks

clippy and rustfmt are also missing for x86_64-unknown-freebsd:

error: component 'rustfmt' for target 'x86_64-unknown-freebsd' is unavailable for download

[bspeice]

Had a lot of jobs in Travis start failing recently because of this too: https://travis-ci.org/bspeice/qadapt/jobs/465480502

[rubberduck203]

FWIW I had to run the following to get to a working state.

rustup toolchain remove stable && rustup toolchain install stable

This worked for me. Thank you!

clippy and rustfmt are also missing for x86_64-unknown-freebsd:

error: component 'rustfmt' for target 'x86_64-unknown-freebsd' is unavailable for download

I see this with clippy on nightly x86_64-apple-darwin:

> rustup component add --toolchain nightly clippy
error: component 'clippy' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin' is unavailable for download

However, I don't see it with rustfmt:

> rustup component add --toolchain nightly rustfmt
info: component 'rustfmt' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin' is up to date

Regardless, it isn't unclear that it's the same issue, since this issue was originally that the stable toolchain "does not contain component", whereas this error message says it's "unavailable for download."

Indeed, it's unrelated. My issue is that clippy is actually unavailable for today's nightly, per https://mexus.github.io/rustup-components-history/x86_64-apple-darwin.html.
