From what I can see, the CI doesnt run rd on itself.

When I tried locally, I encountered:

cargo run -- -v --output html/ target/doc/rd.json 
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.01s
     Running `target/debug/rd -v --output html/ target/doc/rd.json`
[2022-08-24T08:30:25Z INFO  rd] creating the output directory: "html/"

[2022-08-24T08:30:25Z INFO  rd] starting deserialize of the file
Error: Unable to deseriliaze the content of the file

Caused by:
    unknown variant `dyn_trait`, expected one of `resolved_path`, `generic`, `primitive`, `function_pointer`, `tuple`, `slice`, `array`, `impl_trait`, `infer`, `raw_pointer`, `borrowed_ref`, `qualified_path` at line 1 column 23934

Is this an rd problem, or does it need to be fixed in rustdoc-types (possibly already fixed rust-lang/rustdoc-types#15 (comment) ?)

dyn_trait as a type kind is somewhat new. Upgrading rustdoc-types (or using an older nightly) should do it.

Yeah, sorry for that. I have been quite bussy lately and didn't catch up with the latest modifications.

As for testing on rd it should be possible if you use the same nightly as CI:

rd/.github/workflows/main.yml
