Here's a tricky failure distilled from a real-world codebase. I've aggressively minimized the reproduction (including each of the individual dependencies; no remote dependencies remain); everything remaining is seemingly necessary to reproduce the failure (crate, item, and feature names have been preserved for easy comparison with the original).

Overview of the minimized dependency graph:

flowchart TD
    mycrate-- "artifact = #quot;bin#quot;\ntarget = #quot;x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu#quot;" -->mybindep
    mycrate-->A["structopt-derive\n(proc macro)"]
    mybindep-->B["clap_derive\n(proc macro)"]
    B["clap_derive\n(proc macro)"]-->proc-macro-error
    A["structopt-derive\n(proc macro)"]-- "features = [#quot;parsing#quot;]" -->syn
    A["structopt-derive\n(proc macro)"]-->proc-macro-error
    proc-macro-error-->syn
Loading

I've published the minimized repo here: https://github.com/bstrie/bindeperror1 .

For completeness, here's a branch with the maximized reproduction in the original codebase: https://github.com/bstrie/enarx/tree/bindeperror1 (revert the last commit to observe the code compiles properly; if testing fixes against this branch be sure to remove the rust-toolchain file).

For posterity I've inlined the minimized repo at the bottom of this issue.

The code in question should compile. Instead, cargo build produces the following error:

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0599`.

Interestingly, all of the following will cause the code to compile successfully:

  1. Removing the target key in mycrate's Cargo.toml, i.e.:
    - mybindep = { path = "mybindep", artifact = "bin", target = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" }
    + mybindep = { path = "mybindep", artifact = "bin" }
    causes the code to compile. This is extremely curious because the host machine is x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, so conceptually this should be a no-op. Furthermore, since these crates are proc macros, they should already be targeting the host regardless of the value of the target field. Any other value in the target field (e.g. x86_64-unknown-linux-musl) produces the same error, so it is the presence of this key that is essential.
  2. Removing the features key in structopt-derive's Cargo.toml, i.e.:
    - syn = { path = "../syn", features = ["parsing"] }
    + syn = { path = "../syn" }
    causes the code to compile. Note that in our minimized syn crate this feature is completely vestigial and has no behavior at all.
  3. Making both mycrate and mybindep rely on the same proc macro crate. This demonstrates that there's nothing problematic about structopt-derive or clap_derive in isolation, and that this error only occurs when they're both present.

The compile error appears to be caused by multiple versions of syn being loaded when compiling structopt-derive:

INFO rustc_metadata::locator rmeta reading metadata from: /home/aaron/repos/issues-rust/bindeperror1/target/debug/deps/libsyn-2b1591d12268f0b6.rmeta
INFO rustc_metadata::locator rlib reading metadata from: /home/aaron/repos/issues-rust/bindeperror1/target/debug/deps/libsyn-c1e6239ec3cf07e2.rlib

One syn::Error gets used when trying to resolve syn::Error: Into<proc_macro_error::Diagnostic>, but the other syn::Error is used in the corresponding impl - therefore, they don't match.

Anyone interested in this should note that I've just discovered another bug that's similar, yet different in a few key ways: #10837
