Context for actual rust programmers

I was having massive beef with the rust compiler yesterday, every cargo check takes 20 seconds.

And then look at the three functions below, only one of them are Send, if you know why, please let me know.

(Note: value that is not Send cannot be held across an await point, and Box<dyn Error> is not Send)

async fn one() {
    let res: Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> = do_stuff();
    if let Err(err) = res {
        let content = err.to_string();
        let _ = do_stuff(content).await;
    }
}

async fn two() {
    let res: Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> = do_stuff();
    let content = if let Err(err) = res {
        Some(err.to_string())
    } else {
        None
    };
    drop(res);
    if let Some(content) = content {
        let _ = do_stuff(content).await;
    }
}

async fn three() {
    let content = {
        let res: Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> = do_stuff();
        if let Err(err) = res {
            Some(err.to_string())
        } else {
            None
        }
    };
    if let Some(content) = content {
        let _ = do_stuff(content).await;
    }
}

    Ah yes, the good old random pile of unclear errors because you forgot to add the file in git thanks nix

      random pile of unclear errors

      warning: Git tree ‘/path/to/repo’ is dirty

        Unfortunately, that shows up even when you’ve just modified an existing file, which is not a problem for it.

        And which also happens to be the state my repo is in basically all the time, because I’ll change some setting, then see if it works like I want it to before making a commit…

          Fortunately, your comment is not relevant at all since I incorrectly posted the warning instead of the explicit error:

          error: Path 'path/to/file' in the repository "/path/to/repo" is not tracked by Git.
          

          It even gives you

          To make it visible to Nix, run:
          
          git -C "/path/to/repo" add "path/to/file"
