Motivation
The command to build docs listed in the contribution guide was missing an
environment variable needed to build
tokio-stream
. Additionally it turns outthat there was outdated information about not being able to build docs from
the root of the workspace. After the resolution of rust-lang/cargo#9274, this
is not longer correct.
Solution
The command to build the documentation locally provided in the
Contribution Guide did not work for all crates in the project workspace.
Specifically, to build the docs for
tokio-stream
the flag--cfg docsrs
needs to be in the environment variableRUSTFLAGS
in additionto being in
RUSTDOCFLAGS
.Additionally, there was text describing that the docs cannot be built
from the root of the workspace with a link to rust-lang/cargo#9274. That
issue has since been closed as complete and the listed commands do now
work from the root of the workspace. As such, that text has been
removed.
