Manages Cargo.lock file updates and resolves --locked flag issues in CI/CD. Triggers when user mentions: - "cargo test --locked failed" - "cannot update the lock file" - "Cargo.lock is out of date" - "PR failed with --locked error" - "fix Cargo.lock"
## Quick Usage (Already Configured) ### Check Cargo.lock status ```bash cd packages/desktop/src-tauri cargo check --locked 2>&1 | head -20 ``` ### Update Cargo.lock locally ```bash cd packages/desktop/src-tauri cargo update --workspace ``` ### Test with --locked after update ```bash cd packages/desktop/src-tauri cargo test --locked ``` ## Common Gotchas - The `--locked` flag prevents automatic updates to Cargo.lock, which is good for reproducible builds but fails when dependencies change. - PRs often fail because the lock file wasn't committed after dependency updates. - Running `cargo update` without `--workspace` may not update all workspace members. ## When CI Fails with --locked ### Option 1: Update lock file and commit (Recommended) ```bash cd packages/desktop/src-tauri cargo update --workspace git add Cargo.lock git commit -m "chore: update Cargo.lock" git push ``` ### Option 2: Use --offline flag (for air-gapped environments) ```bash cargo test --manifest-path packages/desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml --offline ``` ## First-Time Setup (If Not Configured) No setup required. This skill assumes: - Rust/Cargo is installed - You're in the openwork repository - The Tauri app is in `packages/desktop/src-tauri/` ## Prevention Tips - Always run `cargo check` or `cargo build` after modifying `Cargo.toml` files - Include `Cargo.lock` changes in the same commit as dependency updates - Consider adding a pre-commit hook to verify lock file is up to date
