Quick Usage (Already Configured)

Check Cargo.lock status

bash
cd packages/desktop/src-tauri
cargo check --locked 2>&1 | head -20

Update Cargo.lock locally

bash
cd packages/desktop/src-tauri
cargo update --workspace

Test with --locked after update

bash
cd packages/desktop/src-tauri
cargo test --locked

Common Gotchas

  • The 
    --locked
    flag prevents automatic updates to Cargo.lock, which is good for reproducible builds but fails when dependencies change.
  • PRs often fail because the lock file wasn't committed after dependency updates.
  • Running 
    cargo update
    without 
    --workspace
    may not update all workspace members.

When CI Fails with --locked

Option 1: Update lock file and commit (Recommended)

bash
cd packages/desktop/src-tauri
cargo update --workspace
git add Cargo.lock
git commit -m "chore: update Cargo.lock"
git push

Option 2: Use --offline flag (for air-gapped environments)

bash
cargo test --manifest-path packages/desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml --offline

First-Time Setup (If Not Configured)

No setup required. This skill assumes:
  • Rust/Cargo is installed
  • You're in the openwork repository
  • The Tauri app is in 
    packages/desktop/src-tauri/

Prevention Tips

  • Always run 
    cargo check
    or 
    cargo build
    after modifying 
    Cargo.toml
    files
  • Include 
    Cargo.lock
    changes in the same commit as dependency updates
  • Consider adding a pre-commit hook to verify lock file is up to date
