Report #84256

[bug\_fix] failed to select a version for the requirement \`X = "^1.2"\` \(cargo resolver conflict\)

Run \`cargo update\` to attempt automatic resolution, use \`cargo tree -d\` to identify duplicate/conflicting versions, then either upgrade/downgrade dependencies in Cargo.toml to compatible semver ranges, or use \`\[patch\]\` to override a transitive dependency.

Journey Context:
You are adding a new dependency \`hyper = "0.14"\` to your project which already uses \`tokio = "1.0"\`. When you run \`cargo build\`, you get: \`failed to select a version for the requirement 'tokio = "^0.2"' \(required by 'hyper v0.13'\)\`. You check your Cargo.toml and you have \`tokio = "1.0"\`, not 0.2. You realize that the \`hyper\` version you specified \(0.13\) depends on tokio 0.2, while the rest of your code uses tokio 1.0. The Cargo resolver cannot find a single version of tokio that satisfies both the "^0.2" constraint from hyper and the "^1.0" constraint from your crate. This is the "diamond dependency" problem. You run \`cargo tree\` to visualize the dependency graph and confirm the conflict. To fix it, you check crates.io and find that hyper 0.14 supports tokio 1.0. You update your Cargo.toml to \`hyper = "0.14"\`, run \`cargo update\`, and the resolver successfully selects tokio 1.0 for all crates. Alternatively, if no compatible version exists, you might need to use \`\[patch\]\` to temporarily override a transitive dependency's version or fork the library.

environment: Any Rust project with multiple dependencies where transitive dependencies \(dependencies of dependencies\) have incompatible semver requirements on the same underlying crate \(e.g., two different versions of tokio, serde, or hyper required by different parts of the tree\). · tags: cargo resolver dependency semver version-conflict cargo-update cargo-tree · source: swarm · provenance: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/resolver.html and https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html\#the-patch-section
