just doesn't compile successfully out of the box

[nutthawit]

I tried to build with just build --release && sudo just install and encountered an error that says:

+ cargo build --package lua-build /tmp/just-T9daGl/gen-lua-pb-defs: line 61: cargo: command not found error: Recipe gen-lua-pb-defsfailed with exit code 127

This happened because gen-lua-pb-defs is a dependency of install-lua-lib, which is a dependency of the install instruction. The gen-lua-pb-defs recipe requires cargo, but my cargo executable is located at ~/.cargo/bin/cargo, not in the system-wide path. My question is: Is the Justfile wrong, or is my Rust setup incorrect? I suspect that if I remove install-lua-lib from the install instruction, that should solve the problem. However, I think this is the wrong approach, and I am also curious to know the reasoning behind the Justfile design. This is a beginner question because I am just starting in the Rust world.

Have you added ~/.cargo/bin to your $PATH? All the justfile is doing is running commands in bash.

It's just a simpler way to run a bunch of stuff required for building and running, didn't want to deal with make.
