Ability to run a script from stdin

Does process substitution do what you need?

$ rust-script <(echo 'println!("Hello '"$USER"'!");')
Hello gjum!

🤔 Hm... maybe I'm holding it wrong or the inner shell is messing up the outer one but this fails:

rust-script <( sed 's/PKG/ssh-openpgp-auth/g;s/KIND/shell_completions/g' <<< '//! ```cargo
//! [dependencies]
//! pkg = { path = "PKG", package = "PKG" }
//! clap_allgen = "0.1.0"
//! ```

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    clap_allgen::render_KIND::<pkg::Commands>(
        &std::env::args().collect::<Vec<_>>()[1],
    )?;
    Ok(())
}
' ) '/tmp/xxz'

The error is:

error: failed to get `ssh-openpgp-auth` as a dependency of package `_63_d589d09bfb5f45ea9b4b85e0 v0.1.0 (/home/wiktor/.cache/rust-script/projects/d589d09bfb5f45ea9b4b85e0)`

Caused by:
  failed to load source for dependency `ssh-openpgp-auth`

Caused by:

Caused by:

Caused by:

The following works:

sed 's/PKG/ssh-openpgp-auth/g;s/KIND/shell_completions/g' > .script.rs <<< '//! ```cargo
//! [dependencies]
//! pkg = { path = "PKG", package = "PKG" }
//! clap_allgen = "0.1.0"
//! ```

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    clap_allgen::render_KIND::<pkg::Commands>(
        &std::env::args().collect::<Vec<_>>()[1],
    )?;
    Ok(())
}
'
rust-script .script.rs '/tmp/xxz'
rm --force .script.rs

Just for the record I'm modifying this file.

Thanks for your time! 👋
