ink! tutorial: substrate-contracts-node build fails

Question

I am making my way through the ink! "First Contract" tutorial: https://docs.substrate.io/tutorials/v3/ink-workshop/pt1/

When trying to download the precompiled node:

cargo install contracts-node --git https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-contracts-node.git --tag <latest-tag> --force --locked

I get the following errors:

error[E0046]: not all trait items implemented, missing: `MaxCodeLen`, `RelaxedMaxCodeLen`
     --> /Users/keeganquigley/.cargo/git/checkouts/substrate-contracts-node-cf7c16677784d274/254342f/runtime/src/lib.rs:302:1

      |
      = note: available fields are: `event_topics`, `stack_height`, `globals`, `parameters`, `memory_pages` ... and 5 others

Regardless of what release I use. substrate-node-template compiles fine and I can run a local node - any ideas on what I am missing here? Thanks!

Answer 1

I believe that this is a bug in cargo install --git <URL> --locked which ignores the --locked part and updates the substrate dependencies. You can workaround this by cloning the substrate-contracts-node and running the following command there:

git checkout <LATEST_TAG>
cargo install --path ./node/ --locked

For release v0.15.1`:

git clone https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-contracts-node.git
cd substrate-contracts-node
git checkout v0.15.1
cargo install --path ./node/ --locked
