"cargo install --force yazi-build" fails with preset macro errors

[tessus]

Toolchain:

$ rustup check
stable-aarch64-apple-darwin - up to date: 1.95.0 (59807616e 2026-04-14)
rustup - up to date : 1.29.0

I also tried on macOS Intel and Linux. Same errors.
I've been building yazi for a while now and it seems the last version that was built successfully on my machines was Yazi 26.1.22 (Crates.io 2026-01-22).
So I suspect that something happened after that. I followed the documentation and I can't figure out the problem.

Here is the error:

error: could not compile `yazi-runner` (lib) due to 26 previous errors
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...

P.S.: Compiling from within the git source tree works. There are a bunch of warnings, but it builds.

[sxyazi]

Looks like yet another Cargo limitation rust-lang/rust-clippy#11677 :(

I'm looking for ways to work around it.

[tessus]

Thanks for the info. I can build from the source tree as well, so this is not urgent - at least not for me.
But since you created yazi-build as a workaround for cargo's shortcommings, I guess this is important to others.

[filialpails]

It's caused by the changes to yazi-macro/src/asset.rs and the new yazi-runner crate in commit 607bc0d.

Before that commit, crates using the yazi_macro::asset::plugin_preset macro were only accessing files in their own directory via CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR, but now they try to access files in the yazi-plugin directory with the equivalent of $CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR/../yazi-plugin/preset/. When building in a git checkout or the like, this works perfectly. However, when building yazi via yazi-build, each crate is unpacked into its own directory such as ~/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-1949cf8c6b5b557f/yazi-runner-26.5.6 (notice the version number) so the paths don't match what the macro expects. When yazi-runner was split off from yazi-plugin, the files it expects to read from at compile time remained with yazi-plugin, which is what necessitated the changes to the macro.

I think the solution is for any file a crate expects to read from at compile time to exist in that crate's own directory. I tried moving yazi-plugin/preset/plugins to yazi-runner/preset/plugins and reverting the changes to yazi-macro/src/asset.rs, and was able to build, install, and run yazi-fm and yazi-cli that way.

[sxyazi]

Thanks for looking into it, that explains why the error happens during install, just a bit surprised that cargo publish --workspace which builds each crate during publishing doesn't report it as a compile error.

Do you know if there's a way to fix it without moving yazi-plugin/preset to yazi-runner/preset since doing so would break existing links that point to the preset plugin directory.

[filialpails]

As far as I can tell, there's no way to ask Cargo for the path to another crate. Note that it's only yazi-plugin/preset/plugins that needs to be moved, not the entire yazi-plugin/preset directory. yazi-plugin only reads from yazi-plugin/preset/{ya,setup,compat,components}. I don't think anything besides yazi-runner is using yazi-plugin/preset/plugins.

[sxyazi]

Sorry I wasn't clear - I meant the URL links, like which the docs point to, and changing that would cause a 404.

yazi-plugin/preset is exposed to users as a reference, so just moving yazi-plugin/preset/plugins into yazi-runner crate while keeping everything else (like yazi-plugin/preset/components) as is would scatter those Lua files across different places and make them harder to find, so moving the whole yazi-plugin/preset might make more sense.

In any case, thanks for your answer, I'll see if there's another way around, otherwise I might go with moving the entire yazi-plugin/preset to yazi-runner/preset.

[sxyazi]

Should be fixed in #3952 - a new yazi-build version 26.5.9 released on crates.io
