Additional details

First reported in https://github.com/Leafwing-Studios/leafwing-input-manager/issues/668.

This seems to be a winit / platform bug. I'm not sure how to resolve this: docs build correctly for me locally, and I'd prefer not to turn off winit-related features (used for examples) to get functional docs.

Looks like #2120 reports the same problem. Should we set that flag for our crate too? It would be nice to fix this upstream.

yes, good idea :)

It would be nice to fix this upstream.

could you elaborate? Which upstream?

[alice-i-cecile]

On docs.rs :) Is there a way to configure the local environment that the docs are building in to better match what happens when users run cargo doc locally?

Now that's a tricky one, and would perhaps even involve a cargo change, if even possible.

I'm not sure if I understand what you are asking. I assume you want to build locally the same way as docs.rs does.

The simplest way that would catch many problems, but not all of them is using cargo docs-rs.

You can also run a "real" docs.rs environment following this documentation, but it's a little more complex then.

@alice-i-cecile sorry for the delay, is this still an open issue?

[alice-i-cecile]

Thanks for the ping. I'm going to close this as "can't reproduce" but if it comes up again I'll reopen.
