Compilation error when attempting to run PARSEC tests

Hey everyone,

I cloned the PARSEC git repo and tried to execute the test with cargo test --release --features=dump-graphs -- --nocapture but I get following error:

    error[E0446]: private type `meta_voting::meta_elections::MetaElectionHandle` in public interface
  --> src/meta_voting/meta_elections.rs:87:33

   |                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ can't leak private type

error: aborting due to 2 previous errors

Any advice?
Cheers!

Hi Isaac, what version of rustc are you using?

Hey,

The version: rustc 1.27.0

Iā€™d recommend trying with the latest stable version. Works for me locally with 1.29.0 (which is also what CI is set to I think).

EDIT: something like

rustup self update
rustup update 1.29.0
rustup default 1.29.0

although I think latest is actually 1.29.2 these days.

May I suggest changing the title of this thread to be something more appropriate? It sounds like there is nothing wrong with the tests, but rather the environment they are being run in.

Actually, a more accurate description would be:

Rust 1.30.0

they just released 1.30 (itā€™s so new, that the blog link isnā€™t working yet)

Okey it works now! Thanks!

Maybe someone should add, that at least rustc 1.29.0 should be installed as prerequisite int he tutorial.md

Why? Just use the latest stable, so thereā€™s no need to updated the readme every 6 weeks. Also we are talking about a not-production-ready/work-in-progress software here.

Still worth doing though. Just say ā€˜make sure youā€™re using the latest stable version of Rustā€™ and a link to Rust Programming Language would save people wasting time

Good point. Weā€™ll merge this PR later today hopefully.

Thanks for the idea!
