Description
Summary
The project is using the rocket web framework, and I get the issue on a struct deriving FromForm.
This is the output I get for cargo clippy:
warning: unused manifest key: build

Reproducer
I tried this code:
#[derive(FromForm)]
struct PublishTextForm<'a> {
#[field(name = "text-type")]
text_type: TextType,
title: &'a str,
#[field(name = "leading-paragraph")]
leading_paragraph: &'a str,
#[field(name = "text-body")]
text_body: &'a str,
tags: &'a str,
}
I also tried to suppress the error like this:
#[allow(clippy::blocks_in_conditions)]
#[derive(FromForm)]
struct PublishTextForm<'a> {
#[field(name = "text-type")]
text_type: TextType,
title: &'a str,
#[field(name = "leading-paragraph")]
leading_paragraph: &'a str,
#[field(name = "text-body")]
text_body: &'a str,
tags: &'a str,
}
But that still fails! (With the same error...)
Then I saw the error mentioned above.
I expected to see this happen:
Nothing, since the code does not directly reference a match statement. I guess there could be some "hidden" match statement behind for example the derive macro...

Research direction
Reproduce the report using the provided FromForm struct and the blocks_in_conditions lint with rustc 1.77.1 and Clippy 0.1.77. Inspect how the derive macro's generated code is attributed to the struct, and confirm that suppressing the lint on the derive does not leave the reported diagnostics. Done means the valid reproducer no longer produces these diagnostics, with regression coverage added in the relevant Clippy tests.
