"Could not find requested crate" unless I revert to the git index

[kornelski]

I think we need to update Cargo to a version that defaults to the sparse index.

[kornelski]

is it better in 0.25?

[kpreid]

There doesn't seem to be a 0.25 published to crates.io yet.

[kpreid]

I've updated to 0.25.0 and it still behaves exactly as shown above:

$ CARGO_REGISTRIES_CRATES_IO_PROTOCOL=git cargo crev open embedded-sprites -uv 0.1.2
[success; editor opens]
$ cargo crev open embedded-sprites -uv 0.1.2
    Updating crates.io index
Could not find requested crate. Try updating cargo's registry index cache?
$ cargo crev --version
cargo-crev 0.25.0

Ok, I was able to reproduce it. There must be something wrong in our Cargo integration.

The workaround is to add the crate you want as a dependency and run cargo fetch.

The workaround is to add the crate you want as a dependency and run cargo fetch.

Indeed that would also be more convenient. The reason I don't is that the goal I am working towards is “not personally vulnerable to malware in packages”, so I'm practicing a workflow that doesn't run any of the code before I've reviewed it, and having it set as a dependency makes it much more likely to be run (certain, if rust-analyzer is open on the package with the dependency).
