Description
This issue arguably shouldn't go here, but currently UX issues in upstream tooling is making the Rust
The goal is to revert this reverted functionality -- we want to be able to use published WIT packages but there are a few issues stopping us:
cargo-component
does not configure/patch wherewkg
looks for deps (the target kind) when configured inCargo.toml
(i.e. we should be able to specify thatdocs
is a known package w/ a known registry)cargo-component
currently does not properly resolve targets w/ multiple worlds even ifwkg
is configured (via it's global config file)wkg
should be able to use local fconfig
There are at least a few ways to solve this issue:
- Update
cargo-component
to perform the patching of registries for namespaces before usingwasm-pkg-tools
functionality - Update
wkg
to prefer local config files and include one in the tutorial code - Update the guide to get users to configure
wkg
global config before attempting usage.
A somewhat hidden requirement/sidequest to this issue is that we need more cargo-component
/wasm-pkg-tools
maintainers. The current functionality is fantastic for these tools, but the UX needs to be polished just a bit.
