Directory in which cargo install sea-orm-cli compiles to

[jxuanli]

Hello, I am wondering which directory can I find the files created by cargo install sea-orm-cli? Thanks

Hey @jxuanli, welcome! Interesting question! Why are you asking?

Anyways, you can find the location of sea-orm-cli binary in your file system with which sea-orm-cli command.

$ which sea-orm-cli
/Users/billy/.cargo/bin/sea-orm-cli

thanks for your reply! cargo install sea-orm-cli didn't successfully compile for me. However, during the compilation, I believe some files have been created in a ./target-like directory. I thought maybe it underwent a process similar to cargo build or cargo run:

   Compiling version_check v0.9.4
   Compiling autocfg v1.1.0
   Compiling proc-macro2 v1.0.43
   Compiling quote v1.0.21
   Compiling unicode-ident v1.0.3
   Compiling syn v1.0.99
   Compiling winapi-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu v0.4.0
   Compiling futures-core v0.3.21
   Compiling typenum v1.15.0
...

Or do compiled files disappear if the installation is unsuccessful?

The error I had was a system (windows x86) linking issue when compiling sqlx-macros but I dont want the compiled files to take extra space

What's you Rust compiler version?

You can get that info by executing:

$ rustc -V
rustc 1.62.1 (e092d0b6b 2022-07-16)

These issues might be related if you're on a older version of Rust:

• v0.9.0 is not available for Mac M1 chip #875
• Set minimal rustc version #938
