Rust cargo resolve authentication issue
Have you faced authentication errors while installing dependencies using cargo
✗ cargo build
Updating crates.io index
error: failed to get `async-std` as a dependency of package `app-name v0.1.0 (/Users/sathia/Developer/rust-codebase/app-name)`
Caused by:
failed to load source for dependency `async-std`
Caused by:
Unable to update registry `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index`
Caused by:
failed to fetch `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index`
Caused by:
failed to authenticate when downloading repository: git@github.com:rust-lang/crates.io-index
* attempted ssh-agent authentication, but no usernames succeeded: `git`
if the git CLI succeeds then `net.git-fetch-with-cli` may help here
https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#netgit-fetch-with-cli
Caused by:
no authentication available
cargo requires to do some sort of authentication when using dependencies from git or any registries like crates
Using SSH authentication
➜ eval `ssh-agent -s`
Agent pid 27236
➜ ssh-add
Identity added: /Users/sathia/.ssh/id_rsa
➜ uzhaippu git:(master) ✗ cargo build
Using cargo net-git-fetch
If the above authentication method fails, cargo provides a config that executes the git executable to handle fetching remote repositories instead of using the built-in support
➜ CARGO_NET_GIT_FETCH_WITH_CLI=true cargo build
Updating crates.io index
Downloaded async-attributes v1.1.2
Downloaded async-mutex v1.4.0
Downloaded async-executor v1.4.1
Downloaded async-global-executor v2.0.2
Downloaded async-lock v2.4.0
It should work after the above step.
