Behavior in multi-crate projects #50
Description
Hello!
Is inventory supposed to work when using a multi-crate structure? I sketched out my project structure here: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=9da89efa993ce084845d5d7417cac9ae
I use Rust 1.62.1 on Linux. I ran cargo run --release -p cli.

I've had a similar problem with a multi-crate setup. What worked for me was adding
extern cratedeclarations for the plugin crates (IMPL1/IPML2in your crates) to the consumer (LIBfor you).Does that work?

extern cratedid not work for me, my workaround is to do the collecting seperately in each crate.rlabrecque commentedon Sep 2, 2025
Ran into this as well. Just having
use IMPL1/2;in the equivalent ofCLIsolved it, something like this should work:https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=ba8d7419eea633650a285e5e5ec7f3d3
But after reading other threads for a while, it doesn't seem like this really should be necessary?
For example this issue seems to be a dupe of maybe both of these: which are marked closed + fixed: #7 #9
