Rustc issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77653

[bkchr]

You need to downgrade your nightly compiler.

[HaoyangLiu]

@bkchr Downgrade to what version? Thanks

[bkchr]

@HaoyangLiu use some version around the first of october.

[kafcioo]

I did what you said but still throws error when trying to build

[shawntabrizi]

@kafcioo did you run cargo +nightly-2020-10-01 build?

Or you can follow the instruction here to remove the bad nightly version from your toolchain: https://substrate.dev/docs/en/knowledgebase/getting-started/index#downgrading-rust-nightly

[kafcioo]

I had to set it to use the version I just installed with like so rustup default nightly-2020-10-01 but now I run into another problem

I spend 2 days now trying to compile the code, why is it so difficult, why can't we have simple docker container to run this ...
btw I tried using docker run --rm -it chevdor/polkadot polkadot --dev but its not connecting to frond end

[shawntabrizi]

@kafcioo please follow the instructions i linked to.

it seems you have forgot this step:

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly-2020-10-01

[kafcioo]

yeah sorry, @shawntabrizi I didn't saw your comment before posting the next issue. I can confirm that the link you send fixed it

[shirshak55]

that issue should be fixed in today nightly 👍🏼

[soulshoes]

Still not fixed as of today

[bkchr]

@soulshoes what is not fixed?
