Context for actual rust programmers

I was having massive beef with the rust compiler yesterday, every cargo check takes 20 seconds.

And then look at the three functions below, only one of them are Send, if you know why, please let me know.

(Note: value that is not Send cannot be held across an await point, and Box<dyn Error> is not Send)

async fn one() {
    let res: Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> = do_stuff();
    if let Err(err) = res {
        let content = err.to_string();
        let _ = do_stuff(content).await;
    }
}

async fn two() {
    let res: Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> = do_stuff();
    let content = if let Err(err) = res {
        Some(err.to_string())
    } else {
        None
    };
    drop(res);
    if let Some(content) = content {
        let _ = do_stuff(content).await;
    }
}

async fn three() {
    let content = {
        let res: Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> = do_stuff();
        if let Err(err) = res {
            Some(err.to_string())
        } else {
            None
        }
    };
    if let Some(content) = content {
        let _ = do_stuff(content).await;
    }
}

    Yeah I’m doing the same, I even tried to import a nonexistent file, and use build like you instead of switch, but I’m only getting the error from above.

    What’s your nix version?

    nix (Nix) 2.34.6

      Hmm, for whatever reason, I’m on 2.31.4, so that might be the difference.

      That version was tagged two weeks ago, because they apparently still release patch versions for rather old minor versions of nix. So, apparently I am getting updates, but I’m on some older release channel or something. No idea why.

      I have to head to work now, so will have to debug in the evening or the weekend. Thanks for the clue, though.
