cargo-workspace-inheritance-repro
A reproduction of what appears to be a bug in Cargo.
Inside this crate, there are two workspaces. There is a root workspace, which
has one member outer-workspace-crate
. There is also a workspace inside, called
inner-workspace
, with a library, example-lib
, inside that workspace.
Running cargo check
inside inner-workspace
succeeds, but running cargo check
in the outer workspace does not. This is because example-lib
determines
its package version using workspace inheritance (so it refers to the version
defined in inner-workspace/Cargo.toml
). However, when building
outer-workspace-crate
, cargo
attempts to resolve the inherited version from
the root Cargo.toml
file, which fails as no version is defined here.
