Missing targets when requested from metadata

[kpreid]

In https://docs.rs/wgpu/0.19.1/wgpu/index.html and https://docs.rs/wgpu/0.19.0/wgpu/index.html, the Platform menu lists only x86_64-pc-windows-msvc and x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, even though the Cargo.toml contains

[package.metadata.docs.rs]
targets = [
    "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu",
    "x86_64-apple-darwin",
    "x86_64-pc-windows-msvc",
    "wasm32-unknown-unknown",
]

The prior version https://docs.rs/wgpu/0.18.0/wgpu/ does have wasm32-unknown-unknown, but still not x86_64-apple-darwin. It seems like in both cases certain targets are being silently ignored (even the build log has no info on this) and this has gotten worse between the two versions.

The issue will be that those targets failed to build, nothing being shown in the build logs is #787

Trying cargo rustdoc --target wasm32-unknown-unknown locally gives an explicit compile_error!:

error: webgpu feature used without web_sys_unstable_apis config:
       Here are some ways to resolve this:
       * If you wish to use webgpu backend, create a .cargo/config.toml in the root of the repo containing:
           [build]
           rustflags = [ "--cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis" ]
           rustdocflags = [ "--cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis" ]
       * If you wish to disable webgpu backend and instead use webgl backend, change your wgpu Cargo.toml entry to:
           wgpu = { version = "", default-features = false, features = ["webgl"] }

while x86_64-apple-darwin appears to fail to cross-compile a dependency

warning: [email protected]: gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-arch’
warning: [email protected]: gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mmacosx-version-min=10.7’

error: failed to run custom build command for `objc_exception v0.1.2`

(I've recently noticed that there's now https://github.com/dtolnay/cargo-docs-rs which could be used to test the docs build in CI relatively similarly to how it will run on docs.rs)

Thanks! I've copied this info to the wgpu issue tracker.

I assume there's no reason to keep this issue open.

triggered by this discussion I had another look at logging non-default build targets: #2427
