Docs.rs does not compile on nightly since nightly-2024-04-05

[dtolnay]

This is to let you know that docs.rs is impacted by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119820, which is an upcoming intentional breaking change in Rust 1.79. There will need to be some code changes in docs.rs before updating to Rust 1.79.

https://gist.github.com/lcnr/7c1c652f30567048ea240554a36ed95c#httpsgithubcomlaunchbadgesqlx-some-derives-of-sqlxtype has an analysis of how sqlx is involved.

thanks for the ping!

It sounds like we just have to wait for the sqlx release, which I assume would happen before the new stable release?

I'm not sure about that. I tried building docs.rs with this change in Cargo.toml:

and while there are a few "mismatched types" errors in unrelated code from various breaking changes in those crates, I am still seeing all 3 of the original errors above related to sqlx::Type. So there may be more digging for you or @lcnr to do.

I'll look into this 👍

actually no, I messed up while looking at the regression. THis still requires a change to sqlx. Will open a PR and potentially delay the breaking change in rustc by one version to give users more time to update

[syphar]

@lcnr is there any update to this?

[lcnr]

https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/issues/3185 has been fixed in sqlx now, so docs.rs should now be fixed once it uses the new version. The breaking change has been delayed by atleast one version, so docs.rs should still only be affected on beta (the new beta) and nightly for now.
