Panic with `[patch]` and conflicting equal versions. #7463

ehuss · 2019-10-01T20:41:19Z

When testing out #7346, I came across a strange case where the resolver panics. I neglected to update every version across multiple packages in a workspace. Below is a fairly minimal reproduction. Notice that it has both =0.1.0 and =0.1.1.

#[cargo_test]
fn patch_eq_conflict_panic() {
    Package::new("bar", "0.1.0").publish();
    Package::new("bar", "0.1.1").publish();
    let p = project()
        .file("Cargo.toml",
            r#"
                [package]
                name = "foo"
                version = "0.1.0"

                [dependencies]
                bar = "=0.1.0"

                [dev-dependencies]
                bar = "=0.1.1"

                [patch.crates-io]
                bar = {path="bar"}
            "#)
        .file("src/lib.rs", "")
        .file("bar/Cargo.toml", &basic_manifest("bar", "0.1.1"))
        .file("bar/src/lib.rs", "")
        .build();

    p.cargo("generate-lockfile").run();
}

Fails with:

I think it should fail with an error like the non-patch version ("failed to select a version for bar").

Currently on latest master f4d1b77

This is definitely a bug. Thank you for the clere report and test case.

At one level the panic is caused by .expect("not currently active!?"), witch should be a debug_assert not an expect. I.E. in production if we get to this bad state we can safely return none from generalize_conflicting.
The next question is how we ended up in that bad state. How did we end up with a conflict of the form we can't be activated because x is active while x is not activated.

simonbuchan · 2021-02-04T08:24:10Z

I hit the same with:

[patch.crates-io]
tokio = { git = "https://github.com/blackbeam/tokio", branch = "named-pipes" }

as that branch is version 1.0.1, while the current Cargo.lock version was 1.1.1. Fix was to comment out the patch, run cargo update -p tokio --precise 1.0.1, then uncomment.

cargo update fails with 'not currently active!?'. A workaround is here rust-lang/cargo#7463.

Currently, we are importing the `ahash` crate for only one reason: to test that CachingSession works with custom hasher implementations. The custom hasher quality doesn't matter at all in this test, so it's very easy to write own implementation for testing purposes, rendering the dependency on `ahash` obsolete. The change was prompted by a report from one of our users which use a fork of the driver and managed to trigger a bug in cargo - most likely this one: rust-lang/cargo#7463 . The most likely cause was that the project specified a different, non-compatible version of ahash in the dependencies than the one in scylla's dev-dependencies. While it doesn't fix the cargo bug and it can still happen with other dev-dependencies, the bug should no longer happen with conflicting `ahash`. Moreover, removing an unneeded depdencency from a project is a good motivation in itself.

patch can conflict on not activated packages ### What does this PR try to resolve? In the resolver there is a data structure called a `conflicting_activations`, which records all the reasons a "better" version was not picked for the package being resolved. Normally, these are packages that are currently active that for one reason or another block one of the other versions. Several optimizations assumed that this was always true, even going so far as to use `.expect`. This was a mistake because when there's a `patch` involved there can be conflicts on a version that is not selected. So the correct behavior is to fall back to skip the optimizations and try all versions when a `conflicting_activations` are not active. ### How should we test and review this PR? This adds two automated tests based on the reproductions in #7463 and #11336. So the test suite now covers this case. It can also be tested by reconstructing the repositories originally reported in those issues. ### Additional information It could be that in the long term the correct fix is to figure out how to support patch without having a conflicting activation that is not activated. But that would be a much bigger change. And for now this assumption is only used in optimizations, so this gets people unstuck.

Should be fixed by #11770 in 1.70.0. Thanks for the report and the test example!
