fix clippy comments

[CGMossa]

While working on another PR #499 , I ran cargo clippy to get familiar with the code-base.

Depends on

• Fixup 'Avoid textual API diff when changing a trait impl to an auto-derived impl' Enselic/cargo-public-api#518
• tests: Upgrade to public-api 0.33.1 #503

[Enselic]

Thanks! Can you rebase on latest master so CI passes please?

[CGMossa]

git rebase upstream master
git push --force-with-lease

I've done the above! Hopefully it works.

[Enselic]

The CI failure should be fixed by Enselic/cargo-public-api#516. The plan is:

1. The above fix is merged and a new version of the crate is released.
2. I upgrade syntect to the new version
3. We rebase this PR and then it should pass CI :)

Sorry for the inconvenience!

[Enselic]

Can you rebase again please? Now it should work :)

[CGMossa]

Done! I can't make CI run again unfortunately.

I'd also maybe advertise https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/configuring-pull-request-merges/managing-a-merge-queue

I don't know about it myself, but it might help with the call to "rebase". Some folks have had success using it.

[Enselic]

Sorry for the mess... my fix was buggy, here is a fix of the fix: Enselic/cargo-public-api#518

This time I have also confirmed that the public_api test passes for this PR with the above fix.

Thanks for the tip with the merge queue, but

• it only works for organizations (or payed accounts)
• I actually tested it during the beta but it was too buggy for my taste

This repo is pretty low traffic, but if it becomes high traffic it could make sense to look into something that implements the It's Not Rocket Science Rule.

[CGMossa]

No worries. I also learned something new here. I've added a "Depends on" in the description, so we'll know when the time is right.

[Enselic]

It feels awkward and embarrassing to ask, but can you rebase again please?

[CGMossa]

No worries. Let's gooooooooo! 😄

[CGMossa]

Could I ask you to make a release to crates-io of syntect at some point :D
Selfishly, I pushed for #499 in order to upgrade typst :P packages

[Enselic]

Thanks, let's merge!

Regarding making a release, right now what's on master requires us to release 6.0.0, which I'd like to avoid. So we should probably revert the bump that changed the API in an backwards incompatible way. Better yet would probably be to remove external types from the public API so we have full control over when we change the API. But that could be a big and invasive changed, maybe not even doable.

If we revert bitflags and then go over all other deps that can be bumped, I think we can make a 5.x release to crates-io. Maybe you are interested in going over and bumping deps? Not minor bumps, just x.0.0 bumps and 0.x.0 bumps, since they prevent a single version of a dep to be used by dependents, if the dependents depend on other versions of dependencies.

[CGMossa]

Hmm.. I'm not an expert honestly. I've tried bumping "plist", in #504 and I've got an error.
Plus I tried to revert

git revert e9819fb                                       
error: commit e9819fbcaf0eb5ea73448079aac78d00b8b4d140 is a merge but no -m option was given.        
fatal: revert failed

which should be the merge commit for the PR you mentioned.
