Don't require dev-dependencies when not needed in certain cases #5012

infinity0 · 2018-02-05T17:16:09Z

Specifically, when running cargo install and add a flag for this behaviour in cargo build.

This closes #4988.

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @alexcrichton (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.

cargo build --help says: --all-targets Build all targets (lib and bin targets by default) but the old default behaviour was actually doing --all-targets. This meant that --avoid-dev-deps was only effectively if one gave --lib --bins explicitly. With this commit, `cargo build --avoid-dev-deps` with no other flags, will build lib and bins and avoid installing dev-dependencies.

Thanks! Would it also be possible to include tests as well for this new functionality?

Could this start out as a -Z flag to be unstable by default?

How come this needed changing?

It's not necessary and could be dropped from this PR. But without it, the current situation means I have to give extra flags to cargo build, it contradicts the documentation, and it also means the all-targets flag is redundant.

Hm sorry I missed this earlier, but I'm not sure I quite understand this. Could this perhaps be left out for a future PR?

(or maybe a test could be added?)

This actually opened up a whole new can of worms, so I've reverted it from this PR and opened up a new issue #5134 which I'll file a PR for as soon as this PR is merged (I have a fix, but it builds on top of this PR).

Shouldn't the optional deps flag be set for this as well?

ephemeral() already sets that internally

Perhaps the name optional_deps could change since it's affecting dev-dependencies?

Additionally, I think that we'd want this flag to affect target-specific dependencies, right? If this is a sort of "one shot" compilation there should also be no need to resolve and require windows-specific dependencies when on Linux, right?

Would you mind if we leave that as a TODO for the future? What you say makes sense but it is not actually needed in Debian right now, because we union over all targets when translating dependencies - so e.g. winapi etc are all pulled in regardless of what target you're building for. This means we have to have less special-cases in the packaging, and also supports cross-compilation later.

If I understood correctly, on Fedora they are patching out windows dependencies so they don't appear in Cargo.toml, so this functionality wouldn't be needed either. (Perhaps @ignatenkobrain can confirm).

Ok sure yeah, I think a TODO should suffice!

I'm unsure if it's appropriate to mention "targets" in the sense of "platform" here on this line. The term "target" in the context of CompileFilter and core::Target and cargo build options, seems rather to mean "lib/bin/examples/tests" etc and not platform.

OTOH the functionality you mention does seem to be missing - if I add [target."XXXX".dependencies] YYY = "999" to Cargo.toml then cargo install still fails with this PR, despite the fact that "XXXX" does not match the current platform. I'm just unsure of the appropriate place to add this TODO, please advise. Perhaps on struct Method?

Hm ok, perhaps an issue can be filed? I think the -Z avoid-dev-deps flag added here may in the long run want to be something like --minimal-cargo-lock which prunes all non-relevant dependencies like platform-specific dependencies that don't apply, dev-deps if you're not building tests, etc. In that sense I think the feature/TODO here is slightly broader than a comment in the code. Would you be ok filing that?

Filed as #5133

infinity0 · 2018-02-09T14:17:22Z

Thanks for the comments, I'll soon find some time to write tests and switch to -Z for the new flag.

infinity0 · 2018-02-16T15:09:45Z

Hey, I've added some tests and changed avoid-dev-deps to be a -Z unstable flag.

I wasn't quite sure what to rename require_optional_deps to, and it's a public struct so switching would carry some extra cost. I did add a comment to it, describing the new behaviour. I could change it if you want though, like require_extra_deps or require_unneeded_deps, let me know which you prefer.

Thanks for the update, tests look good to me! It's also ok to not worry much about naming, despite being public we bump the major version for Cargo regularly so it's not too critical to think too hard about APIs

Turns out the tests were also dependent on the fix for #5134, I've pushed a commit to work around it. Should be all good now.

Stricter need_dev_deps behaviour The previous PR (#5012) contained an unnecessary work-around for behaviour of `--all-targets` that was misunderstood. This PR removes that work-around and adds some tests and comments to clarify the behaviour for future contributors, which may help to make easier a future fix for #5177 and #5178.
