Utility to inherit dependencies from workspace file if it occurs 'n' or more times throughout the project.

cargo-dependency-inheritor's Issues

Path dependencies shouldn't specify a version

Currently dependencies with a path attribute are also specifying a version when auto generated, i.e. version = "*". It's better to omit this, the only restriction it adds is that it prevents you from using pre-release versions of a crate that you have vendored in. This can result in the path attribute being ignored, leading to some very confusing builds.

dependency registry is discarded

I have some dependencies which use a different registry.

e.g.

foobar = { version = "=0.20.1", registry = "my-private-registry" }

Running cargo-dependency-inheritor causes them to be deleted.

cargo subcommand doesn't invoke this program correctly

$ cargo +beta dependency-inherit -n 2
error: no such subcommand: `dependency-inherit`

        Did you mean `dependency-inheritor`?

        View all installed commands with `cargo --list`

$ cargo +beta dependency-inheritor -n 2
error: The subcommand 'dependency-inheritor' wasn't recognized

        Did you mean 'dependency-inherit'?

If you believe you received this message in error, try re-running with 'cargo -- dependency-inheritor'

USAGE:
    cargo <SUBCOMMAND>

For more information try --help

$ cargo +beta --version
cargo 1.65.0-beta.1 (082503982 2022-09-13)

System is Windows 11 with MSVC target.

Paths are being changed to use `\` instead of `/` on Windows

Rust on Windows can correctly use / but Rust on Linux cannot correctly use \, so this tool should never output \ into a path attribute for a dependency.

git dependency data lost

before:

dep = { git = "https://github.com/org/repo", rev = "longhexstring" }

after:

dep = "*"

Needless to say, this doesn't work :)

Add license

Should add a license to the repo (not just the crate Cargo.toml), would recommend Rust standard MIT OR Apache-2.0 over only MIT

Update dev-dependencies

I think dev-dependencies are ignored in the released version on crates.io , but installing from git fixes that.
