# Compile fail tests for Bevy macros

This crate is not part of the Bevy workspace in order to not fail `crater` tests for Bevy.
The tests assert on the exact compiler errors and can easily fail for new Rust versions due to updated compiler errors (e.g. changes in spans).

The `CI` workflow executes these tests on the stable rust toolchain (see [tools/ci](../../tools/ci/src/main.rs)).

For information on writing tests see [bevy_compile_test_utils/README.md](../bevy_compile_test_utils/README.md).
bevy_derive: Add `#[deref]` attribute (#8552) # Objective Bevy code tends to make heavy use of the [newtype]( https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/generics/new_types.html) pattern, which is why we have a dedicated derive for [`Deref`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Deref.html) and [`DerefMut`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.DerefMut.html). This derive works for any struct with a single field: ```rust #[derive(Component, Deref, DerefMut)] struct MyNewtype(usize); ``` One reason for the single-field limitation is to prevent confusion and footguns related that would arise from allowing multi-field structs: <table align="center"> <tr> <th colspan="2"> Similar structs, different derefs </th> </tr> <tr> <td> ```rust #[derive(Deref, DerefMut)] struct MyStruct { foo: usize, // <- Derefs usize bar: String, } ``` </td> <td> ```rust #[derive(Deref, DerefMut)] struct MyStruct { bar: String, // <- Derefs String foo: usize, } ``` </td> </tr> <tr> <th colspan="2"> Why `.1`? </th> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> ```rust #[derive(Deref, DerefMut)] struct MyStruct(Vec<usize>, Vec<f32>); let mut foo = MyStruct(vec![123], vec![1.23]); // Why can we skip the `.0` here? foo.push(456); // But not here? foo.1.push(4.56); ``` </td> </tr> </table> However, there are certainly cases where it's useful to allow for structs with multiple fields. Such as for structs with one "real" field and one `PhantomData` to allow for generics: ```rust #[derive(Deref, DerefMut)] struct MyStruct<T>( // We want use this field for the `Deref`/`DerefMut` impls String, // But we need this field so that we can make this struct generic PhantomData<T> ); // ERROR: Deref can only be derived for structs with a single field // ERROR: DerefMut can only be derived for structs with a single field ``` Additionally, the possible confusion and footguns are mainly an issue for newer Rust/Bevy users. Those familiar with `Deref` and `DerefMut` understand what adding the derive really means and can anticipate its behavior. ## Solution Allow users to opt into multi-field `Deref`/`DerefMut` derives using a `#[deref]` attribute: ```rust #[derive(Deref, DerefMut)] struct MyStruct<T>( // Use this field for the `Deref`/`DerefMut` impls #[deref] String, // We can freely include any other field without a compile error PhantomData<T> ); ``` This prevents the footgun pointed out in the first issue described in the previous section, but it still leaves the possible confusion surrounding `.0`-vs-`.#`. However, the idea is that by making this behavior explicit with an attribute, users will be more aware of it and can adapt appropriately. --- ## Changelog - Added `#[deref]` attribute to `Deref` and `DerefMut` derives 2023-05-16 18:29:09 +00:00			`# Compile fail tests for Bevy macros`

Switch to ui_test in compile fail tests. (#12810) # Objective Make compile fail tests less likely to break with new Rust versions. Closes #12627 ## Solution Switch from [`trybuild`](https://github.com/dtolnay/trybuild) to [`ui_test`](https://github.com/oli-obk/ui_test). ## TODO - [x] Update `bevy_ecs_compile_fail_tests` - [x] Update `bevy_macros_compile_fail_tests` - [x] Update `bevy_reflect_compile_fail_tests` --------- Co-authored-by: Oli Scherer <github35764891676564198441@oli-obk.de> Co-authored-by: BD103 <59022059+BD103@users.noreply.github.com> 2024-04-27 00:00:57 +00:00
