Problem

#14042 made the cargo backend take the rust-state lock before cargo install fallbacks. But it resolved which homes to lock from CARGO_HOME/RUSTUP_HOME in the child environment only, while the rust plugin resolves the same homes from more sources. When a user configures homes through either of these, the two take different lock files and the race #14041 described is still live:

• settings rust.cargo_home / rust.rustup_home — settings.toml documents these as the way to "keep mise's toolchains apart from another rustup installation" (env alias MISE_CARGO_HOME / MISE_RUSTUP_HOME)
• MISE_CARGO_HOME / MISE_RUSTUP_HOME set in [env]

The failure is silent: nothing errors, the lock just doesn't cover the plugin's homes.

Example

.config/mise/settings.toml:

[rust]
cargo_home = "~/.mise-rust"
rustup_home = "~/.mise-rustup"

Two parallel installs that both fall back to source builds: the plugin locks ~/.mise-rust/~/.mise-rustup while the cargo backend locks the default ~/.cargo/~/.rustup — different locks, both installs may run rustup on the shared state at once, and the install fails with could not rename 'component' ... Directory not empty (os error 39) like #14041. Before this change the lock only protected users who set plain CARGO_HOME/RUSTUP_HOME; after, the same lock covers the settings- and [env]-configured homes too.

Fix

Lock the union of two sets of homes, in sorted order:

• What the rust plugin locks: resolved by RustHomes::from_config_env, the resolver RustHomes::resolve uses. config.env() forms the config tier, rust.cargo_home / rust.rustup_home settings are the configured tier, and the process env is the ambient tier. Other tools' exec env is excluded because the plugin never sees it.
• What the spawned cargo uses: the process env, overridden by the toolset env and then by install_env, including removals.

The two differ when install_env removes or changes a home, or when a settings home never reaches the child. Both go through the same normalization (resolve_rust_home), so tilde and relative paths resolve the same way on both sides.

Tests

Each test holds the cargo-fallback lock, then probes the expected locks with LockFile::try_lock:

• settings-configured homes (fails on the fix(cargo): serialize rustup state across cargo install fallbacks #14042 code)
• MISE_*_HOME from [env] (fails on the fix(cargo): serialize rustup state across cargo install fallbacks #14042 code)
• a settings home that install_env removes: covers both the plugin's settings home and the child's default home
• an ambient home that install_env removes
• a CARGO_HOME exported by another tool alongside a settings home: covers both
• tilde paths, kept as a regression guard

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Rust operations now account for Cargo and rustup home locations selected through configuration, tool settings, install directives, and the ambient environment. Tilde-based paths are handled consistently.
  • When an install directive removes a home setting, locking covers both the configured plugin home and the default home used by the spawned Cargo process. Unspecified homes continue to use standard defaults.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Rust state lock now covers Cargo and rustup homes resolved by the plugin and by the spawned cargo process. Tests cover toolset and settings homes, ambient homes, tilde expansion, MISE_* values, and install-environment changes.

🟡 Minor · Lock the child’s effective Cargo home. · rust.rs:995-1007

src/plugins/core/rust.rs:995-1007
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Lock the child’s effective Cargo home.

When install_env removes CARGO_HOME, lock_rust_state_for_config still locks the ambient nondefault home. env_values then removes CARGO_HOME from the child, so cargo install uses ~/.cargo instead. A concurrent operation that uses the default home can therefore bypass this lock and access the same Cargo state without coordination.
