UUID no longer supports serde derive attributes
daveman1010221 opened this issue · comments
Hello. I was updating some old code to use newer dependencies and realized that we had an old version of UUID. Attempted to update and broke the build. Tracked it down to this: "remove the serde_derive dev dependency #408 ". Is there a newer way to pull in serde with derive for UUID? If not, is there some reason serde derive has been banished? Thanks.
Is it possible to post the exact error you are getting? AFAIK not using serde_derive should not affect users.
Also try depending on serde with derive feature enabled to see if it works. Again a log would be helpful.
It sounds like the problem here might have been implicitly relying on uuid pulling in serde with its derive feature. That's an unfortunate consequence of how Cargo builds its dependency graph and not really a problem with uuid. You should be able to fix your build by adding serde_derive to your project directly.
