Hi, I'm working on the above tutorial and after running the cargo +nightly test command, I see the following error.

error[E0158]: associated consts cannot be referenced in patterns
  --> flipper/lib.rs:9:5
   |
9  | /     pub struct Flipper {
10 | |         value: bool,
11 | |     }
   | |_____^

Nothing has been changed from the source code here. What is a workaround for this please?

    While it does not fix your issue, you can use cargo test instead, it will work.

  • @Cromm you are right, the tests do run correctly without the nightly channel

cargo-contract latest release currently is v1.5.0 which was released on 15th August 2022. So I used rust nightly build of that day and it worked. I have ran the following commands and I am able to build the contract.

rustup toolchain install nightly-2022-08-15
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly-2022-08-15
rustup component add rust-src --toolchain nightly-2022-08-15
cargo +nightly-2022-08-15 contract build

  • Indeed this works, thanks! But that does not solve the issue, it shouldn't be needed to use the same specific release date ? Or does it ?

  • I use cargo +nightly-2022-08-15 test rather cargo +nightly test to test and cargo +nightly-2022-08-15 contract build to build rather cargo +nightly contract build today and it works for me. My cargo contract version cargo-contract 1.5.0-unknown-x86_64-apple-darwin and rustc 1.66.0-nightly (c0983a9aa 2022-10-12))
