Wrangler: Error: could not download pre-built `cargo-generate`

[tomByrer]

🐛 Bug Report

Environment

• operating system: Win10
• output of rustc -V: bash: rustc: command not found
• output of node -v: 13.2.0
• output of wrangler -V: wrangler 1.7.0
• shell: GNU bash, version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys) (Git Bash, maybe a few months old)

Steps to reproduce

> wrangler generate cfw-router https://github.com/cloudflare/worker-template-router
Error: could not download pre-built `cargo-generate` (no prebuilt cargo-generate binaries are available for this platform).

I got this error after having to re-install wrangler.
Then deleted npm -global folder, verified wrangler was gone.
Re-installed via npm i @cloudflare/wrangler -g
Re-ran above command, got same error.

I'm seeing a very similar error when using wrangler build on the latest version, also using Windows 10.

Error: could not download pre-built `wasm-pack` (no prebuilt wasm-pack binaries are available for this platform).

Hey @tomByrer and @Cherry - we're looking into this now. Could either of you try installing with cargo install wrangler and see if that fixes your problem? I have a hunch this has to do with how Azure Pipelines built our latest release binary but I'm not 100% sure (I'm on MacOS, need to do some tests with CI). docs on cargo installation can be found here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/tooling/wrangler/install/#additional-installation-instructions

Rolled back to _v1.6.0_, seems to work fine:

1. Removed npm folder
2. npm install -g @cloudflare/[email protected]
3. worked!
   ```bash
   $ wrangler -V
   wrangler -V
   wrangler 1.6.0

@Cherry: Please be my guest to test out via Cargo; I have drive to a Meetup to hear Cory House talk about React stuff right now 😎

@tomByrer Enjoy!

I can confirm that when installing with cargo and not npm on Windows 10, I no longer receive the error using the latest 1.7.0 version.

Thanks @Cherry 😄 hope that unblocks you for the time being. We're working on re-building our release binary which should fix this issue, I'll update here when that work is complete.

[EverlastingBugstopper]

We've replaced the binary and installing with npm should work again. Thanks so much for the reports on this - we'll be switching our release process to use GitHub Actions in the future which _should_ prevent this from happening.

Hi there guys. Have had clean install of cargo and wrangler (on Windows 10) . Seeing the same error with wrangler 1.9.2
Manually installed 'cargo-generate' didn't help either.
error msg:

---

' Installing cargo-generate v0.5.0...
Error: could not download cargo-generate
no prebuilt cargo-generate binaries are available for this platform'

any suggestions ? thanks in advance :)

@CopernicAI since this seems to be a new issue (although seems related to the old one) could you please open a new one so we can track there? When you do so, could you also include your operating system and version of node? Thanks!

I tried to reinstall with npm and it is working now :) thanks! :)
