trait `parity_util_mem::malloc_size::MallocSizeOf` is not implemented for `unchecked_extrinsic::UncheckedExtrinsic<Address, Call, Signature, Extra>`

Question

I was trying adding Frontier as a dependency to my parachain project...

After fixing a few errors and adding UncheckedExtrinsic & CheckedExtrinsic:

pub type UncheckedExtrinsic =
    fp_self_contained::UncheckedExtrinsic<Address, Call, Signature, SignedExtra>;
pub type CheckedExtrinsic = fp_self_contained::CheckedExtrinsic<AccountId, Call, SignedExtra, H160>;

I got this error during compilation:

I have don't know what is missing in my code. This parity_util_mem::malloc_size::MallocSizeOf has never appeared in my code... any idea?

Answer 1

It looks like you are using patch.

If the traits' versions mismatch. You will get this error.

For example:

# crate_a Cargo.toml
scale-info = 2.0

// crate_a lib.rs
#[derive(TypeInfo)]
pub struct S;

---

# crate_b Cargo.toml
scale-info = 1.0
// crate_b lib.rs
pub trait T: TypeInfo { fn f(); }

<crate_a::S as T>::f();

The compiler will say S did not implement TypeInfo.
