`skip_insertion` results in a compiler error

[42triangles]

Setup

Compiling the following:

use diesel::Insertable;

#[derive(Insertable)]
struct Test {
    x: f32,
    #[diesel(skip_insertion)]
    y: f32,
}

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

with

[package]
name = "dieselstuff"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
diesel = "2.1.6"

Versions

• Rust: rustc 1.77.2 (25ef9e3d8 2024-04-09)
• Diesel: 2.1.6
• Database: not applicable
• Operating System Linux

Feature Flags

• diesel: none

Problem Description

It errors out with:

error: unknown attribute, expected one of `embed`, `skip_insertion`, `column_name`, `sql_type`, `treat_none_as_default_value`, `treat_none_as_null`, `serialize_as`, `deserialize_as`, `select_expression`, `select_expression_type`
 --> src/main.rs:6:14
  |
6 |     #[diesel(skip_insertion)]
  |              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In general, the following work (as in, they don't error out in the derive macro):

• embed
• column_name = ...
• sql_type = ...
• serialize_as = ...
• deserialize_as = ...
• select_expression = ...
• select_expression_type = ...

And these don't work:

• skip_insertion
• treat_none_as_default_value
• treat_none_as_null

What are you trying to accomplish?

Trying to use the Insertable derive macro

What is the expected output?

Either that it doesn't error out, or in case that the input is incorrect, an error message that is less confusing

What is the actual output?

An error message that would suggest that the input is well formed

Are you seeing any additional errors?

No

Steps to reproduce

cargo new --bin diesel-test, change Cargo.toml & main.rs appropriately, cargo +stable build
