failed to load source for dependency wdk-build

ERROR - Error while running plugin: Source: Unknown Line: 38 - [tasks.wdk-build-init]'s script failed with exit code: 1

Caused by:
failed to load source for dependency wdk-build

I got same error in the closed issues.however, there is not information about how to fix this error

I worked around it by changing the makefile -

Change Makefile.toml to

extend = ".cargo-make-loadscripts/rust-driver-makefile.toml"

[env]
CARGO_MAKE_EXTEND_WORKSPACE_MAKEFILE = true

And then in rust-driver-makefile.toml change every wdk-build = ...
to wdk-build = {git = "https://github.com/microsoft/windows-drivers-rs.git", branch = "main"}

thank you. i will try it.

I'm guessing #36 will let you edit the file, but it still needs to be fixed, so maybe don't close the issue.

Ok,Done

#36 makes it so that there is not longer an extra step to get the rust-driver-makefile, since it already exists in the filesystem when u take a dependency on wdk-build. This also ensures the makefile is versioned with the build crate.

The previous loadscript(assuming u copied from the example/readme) always pulled the latest makefile from main branch. Its possible that when #35 merged, it started pulling an incompatible rust-driver-toolchain.toml. you can edit the loadscript to pull in the specific one you want.

What version of the crates are you using, and how have you consumed them(git vs crates.io)? What does you load_script look like?

[lurebat]

The makefile as it currently is seems to look for the crate in the wrong path.

it tries to go to .cargo-make-loadscripts/crates/wdk-build

Which makes sense for this repo (as there is a crates directory with wdk-build in the path of the project), but in repos that use it it doesn't exist.

How does your repo use WDR?

The crates/wdk-build path used here is in a makefile that is meant only for use in this repo. Your own repos that use WDR should have their own Makefile setup based off of the example in this readme. The readme was updated in #36 (now merged) with new paths for a client's loadscript, since after #36, the load_script block will place a symlink in the target folder to point to the rust-driver-makefile.toml file that lives in crates/wdk-build inside your .cargo folder (specific folder depends on whether you ingest via crates.io or via Cargo git dependency

Using the newest script in the readme fixes it
