The problem
I ran across some issues when using nightly Cargo features such as
artifacts-dependencies
.Cargo forces users to pass a
-Z bindeps
flag to activate the feature in every cargo command.Cross already forwards the
+nightly
flag to internal cargo invocations, but it does not forward-Z
flags.Consequently,
cargo metadata
always fail for projects using such feature.This problem would also occur when using other Cargo nightly features.
Solution
Parse the
-Z
flags and forward them tocargo metadata
.
