Gfx: Cannot run quad example on macOS, it says "You need to enable the native API feature (vulkan/metal) in order to test the LL"

Created on 18 May 2019 · 2Comments · Source: gfx-rs/gfx

Short info header:

GFX version: master@c4470d0298b9965bda01726a1c72996da068e3b1
OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.5
GPU: Intel Iris Plus 655 (Macbook Pro 13" 2018 with touchbar)

I have installed XCode and try to run
cargo run --bin quad --features metal

However it always says

You need to enable the native API feature (vulkan/metal) in order to test the LL

Hi @zheli! This issue could be caused by running cargo run --bin quad --features metal from the gfx directory instead of the gfx/examples directory.

Is your working directory set to examples? For example, you should cd examples first as mentioned in the examples readme.

We could probably update the warning message to help with this in the future, if you'd like to send a pull request :)

Thx @grovesNL! Can't believe I made this simple mistake, haha. Completely missed the step to switch to gfx/examples folder. It works now!
