Workspace + warrnigs/errors

Current nightly rustc 1.25.0-nightly (8ccab7eed 2018-01-31) change handling of workspace. At now if you compile code inside crate, that part of workspace it print warnings/errors in form of crate/src/foo.rs:X:Y instead of src/foo.rs:X:Y.

Anybody know why this change was done?

It breaks many tools, for example emacs + rust-mode becomes unusable - for each error it ask me where to find file, because of it expects that if you run compiler in directory workspace/crate, the all paths should be relative to crate or absolute, but at now all paths relative to worskspace. intellij-rust also not show errors with nightly https://users.rust-lang.org/t/intellij-rust-and-compile-errors/15103/7

I do not know about intellij, but for emacs this not configurable behaviour, so it requires implementation of something like rust-compile-mode and it is not the simple thing. May be it is possible somehow turn off this new feature?

Yep, this is a known problem. It was implemented in https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/4788, and we are figuring out how to solve the original problem without breaking the world (you can access the scale of the problem by the number of linked issues :slight_smile:

Thanks, looks rather strange, why internal caching requires change of visible behaviour (output to stdout/stdserr). Then I am going to report bug.

There is intention to fix this regression:
