No root table found for toml file

[f-fr]

When running cargo graph on an arbitrary project I receive the following error message:

% cargo graph
error: No root table found for toml file

I have no idea what this error means or how I can get more information about the problem. Any ideas?

This is caused by recent changes to Cargo. #38 fixes the issue.

unfortunately cargo install still installs an older version - could you push a new one?

[shaleh]

Yes please. I came to submit the same issue.

[aochagavia]

Same here

Until a new version is pushed, you can add the following to your Cargo.lock to get around the issue temporarily.

[root]
name="your-package-name"

Doing so will cause other cargo commands to fail, however. That's because future/current cargo will see that as duplicating the project definition.

@ChristopherMacGown Thanks for the tip!

I had to add version as well to Cargo.lock, like so:

[root]
name="your-package-name"
version="package-version"

worked like a charm.

cargo +nightly install --git https://github.com/kbknapp/cargo-graph --force worked for me.

I just tripped on this. What is the status? According to the earlier comment #38 fixes this, which was merged like 6 months ago.

Ditto, ended up going with the forced git install.

Bump.

[spearman]

Is this the same as error: No name for package in toml file ?

[Boscop]

Any update on this?

I was able to get it going by following steps on a CentOS 7 OS.

• check out cargo-count repo.

[[pi@centos7 cargo-count]$ pwd
/home/pi/gb/cargo-count
[pi@centos7 cargo-count]$

• commands

 sudo yum install -y graphviz
 git clone https://github.com/kbknapp/cargo-graph && cd cargo-graph
 cargo build --release
 cargo install  --force
 cd ../cargo-count/
