Report #17448

[bug\_fix] failed to select a version for \`crate\` which is required by \`foo\` because it requires feature \`X\` which is not enabled \(feature resolver conflict\)

Set \`resolver = "2"\` in the \`\[workspace\]\` or \`\[package\]\` section of \`Cargo.toml\` to enable the new feature resolver which avoids unifying features across build/normal/dev dependencies, or explicitly add the missing feature to the dependency declaration in \`Cargo.toml\` \(e.g., \`crate = \{ version = "1", features = \["X"\] \}\`\).

Journey Context:
Developer is working on a workspace with multiple crates. One crate depends on \`tokio = \{ version = "1", features = \["rt"\] \}\`, and another dev-dependency enables \`tokio/full\`. They also have a dependency on \`serde\` with \`default-features = false\` in one place but not another. They run \`cargo build\` and get an error saying that a feature is not enabled for \`tokio\`, even though they expected features to be unified. They are using the old feature resolver \(version 1\). They search and learn that Cargo has a new feature resolver \(version 2\) that changes how features are unified \(they are only unified per target, not globally\). They add \`resolver = "2"\` to their workspace \`Cargo.toml\`. The build now succeeds because features are correctly unified only where needed.

environment: Cargo workspace or package with complex dependency graph using crates like \`tokio\`, \`serde\`, or \`futures\` with feature flags, often in a workspace. · tags: cargo resolver features dependency-management build-error workspace · source: swarm · provenance: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/resolver.html\#feature-resolver-version-2 \(official Cargo docs on resolver v2\) and https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html \(feature unification documentation\)
