Unable to generate initial Cargo.Bazel.lock

[spemmons]

i have a working cargo workspace and am trying to add it to an existing bazel WORKSPACE file with the following standard definitions per the docs

load("@rules_rust//rust:repositories.bzl", "rules_rust_dependencies", "rust_register_toolchains")

rules_rust_dependencies()

rust_register_toolchains(
    edition = "2021",
)

load("@rules_rust//crate_universe:repositories.bzl", "crate_universe_dependencies")

crate_universe_dependencies()

load("@rules_rust//crate_universe:defs.bzl", "crates_repository")

crates_repository(
    name = "crate_index",
    cargo_lockfile = "//:Cargo.lock",
    lockfile = "//:Cargo.Bazel.lock",
    manifests = ["//system/bash-test:Cargo.toml"],
)

load("@crate_index//:defs.bzl", "crate_repositories")

crate_repositories()

cargo build works fine and generates the root-level Cargo.lock file

the Cargo.toml looks like this

[workspace]
resolver = "2"
members = [
...
]

i have an empty Cargo.Bazel.lock file via touch and call CARGO_BAZEL_REPIN=true bazel build and get the following error

i've searched the docs and google for hints about "cargo version" in this context and can't seem to find anything that helps

ideas? thanks

Unfortunately there's not enough data here to answer your question, but I've added logging here in https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/pull/2629 which should help explain what's going on.
