Dialoguer 0.7.0 does not compile anymore

[dtomvan]

For some reason while trying to compile tab-rs, its dependency-check errors:

❯ cargo install tab                                                                                                                                                                   15:17:53

I managed to build tab on Linux on both debug and release modes. Could you try again? I tried to build it on WSL earlier this day and I received the error you mentioned. Maybe it was fixed.

Nope, still doesn't work:

Oh, I just realized that I posted the same as the guy above me

[dtomvan]

Maybe related to #351?

Yeah, looks like it to me. Updating dialoguer to 0.8 worked for me. Haven't seen any issues.

Disclaimer: The maintainers are entitled to mark this as off-topic if they wish, but I believe this is what many others are coming to this issue thread to see.

cargo install tab does not work. I dug into the github workflows and saw how other people could be installing tab, but potentially neglecting to share how they're doing it. The procedure I've used to get an installation of tab on my system is:

# Gather the source repo
git clone https://github.com/austinjones/tab-rs tab && cd tab

# Replace `v0.5.7` with your desired version.
# You can run `git branch -d <TAB>` to see the available versions
git checkout v0.5.7

cargo build --release --bin tab

# Preserve the installation until it can be installed from crates.io
_entry="export PATH=$PWD/target/release:\$PATH"
echo $_entry >> ~/.bashrc && exec bash

# Installing completions for your shell.
tab --install bash

Please consider keeping this comment available. It's meaningful to newcomers who want to engage with this software.

It's been a while, but in case it's of use, I believe I'm using the pre-compiled binaries.

I know this is an old thread, but just wanting to give an update for anyone else who comes across this issue. The current main branch now has an updated version of dialoguer, so you can build and install tab by just running:

cargo install --path tab

or as @guy-who-googles says, use a pre-compiled binary.

That said, as of writing, the current released version (v0.5.7), and therefor the version available via crates.io, does not include this update. So running:

brew install austinjones/taps/tab

or:

cargo install tab

appears to still be broken. I'd suggest that a minor version release might help new users, just so that the installation instructions on the README page work. But appreciate this is a side project and the maintainer might be busy.

Also wanted to add (as a first time writer on this project), a massive thank you to the maintainer. I understand this might not be their main focus, but it's great to see a fresh take on multiplexers and I've enjoyed using tab after recently discovering it. It's a great tool!

Great! I think this issue is alright to "finally" be closed, then?

100%. I very much like the way it's organized. When I was using it in 2021 it was very nice, but maybe a bit slow when using heavy interactive programs such as TUI editors (neovim, emacs, nano, kakoune etc.). Still very much a +1 on that!

I would agree, appears to be resolved.
