Description

Crate name

sqltk

Build failure link

https://docs.rs/crate/sqltk/0.4.0/builds/1636051

Additional details

sqltk's build.rs requires cargo expand to be available.

My testing indicates that it is not installed on the build environment, and lack of network access in build.rs prevents me from installing it.

Is it actually installed, and perhaps I'm invoking it incorrectly? If not, can I request that it be added to the standard build environment?

Kind regards,

James.

Research direction

Start with sqltk's build.rs and the linked docs.rs build failure, then inspect how the standard docs.rs build environment provisions Cargo tools. Confirm whether cargo expand is available and whether adding it is supported; done when the environment behavior and any required configuration are documented or resolved.
