Warning in 2024 edition: unexpected cfg condition name: trybuild

[leecbaker]

When consuming this crate from Rust 2024 edition code, the following warning message is generated. It's not immediately obvious what the code is trying to do (#[cfg(trybuild)]).

warning: unexpected `cfg` condition name: `trybuild`

   = note: using a cfg inside a attribute macro will use the cfgs from the destination crate and not the ones from the defining crate
   = help: try referring to `message_bundle` crate for guidance on how handle this unexpected cfg
   = help: the attribute macro `message_bundle` may come from an old version of the `fluent_static_macros` crate, try updating your dependency with `cargo update -p fluent_static_macros`
   = note: see <https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/check-cfg/cargo-specifics.html> for more information about checking conditional configuration
   = note: `#[warn(unexpected_cfgs)]` on by default
   = note: this warning originates in the attribute macro `message_bundle` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

warning: `procmacro` (bin "procmacro") generated 1 warning

Reproducing

Reproduction of warning is fairly easy:

• Modify the simple example to use the 2024 edition by changing examples/simple/Cargo.toml:4 from 2021 to 2024 edition:

-edition = "2021"
+edition = "2024"

• Compile the example

$ rustc --version
rustc 1.85.0 (4d91de4e4 2025-02-17)
$ pwd
/Users/$me/fluent-static/examples/simple
$ cargo build

Origin code

crates/macros/src/lib.rs:36-41

                    quote! {
                        #[cfg(trybuild)]
                        const _: &str = include_str!(concat!(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR_OVERRIDE"), "/", #path));
                        #[cfg(not(trybuild))]
                        const _: &str = include_str!(concat!(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR"), "/", #path));
                    }

Thanks for the detailed report.

                    quote! {
                        #[cfg(trybuild)]
                        const _: &str = include_str!(concat!(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR_OVERRIDE"), "/", #path));
                        #[cfg(not(trybuild))]
                        const _: &str = include_str!(concat!(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR"), "/", #path));
                    }

is basically a hack/workaround to make cargo build aware of changes in external file.
And until rust-lang/rust#99515 stabilized I don't see other options to implement this.

AFAIK #[cfg(trybuild)] is the only way to detect that code is running inside of test env created by trybuild

I'll take a look into this sometime next week, but for now I'd suggest to disable warning with

[lints.rust]
unexpected_cfgs = "allow"
