Error thrown when using Workspace project about bootimage HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks a lot for reporting! Unfortunately, supporting workspaces is not quite trivial. For example, it makes config parsing much more complex (e.g. should the bootimage config live in the Cargo.toml in the project root or in the kernel subdirectory?). I tried to find a simple way to fix this bug, but it appears to be quite difficult to add this in a backwards compatible way.

I'm therefore planning to release a new breaking version that cleans up the crate and removes old functionality such as the bootimage test framework. This should make it much easier to add proper handling of workspaces, but it will take some time.

So I invested the past hours to rewrite the crate. The result is available in the rewrite branch.

Could you try the new version to test whether it fixes your problem? To install it, execute:

cargo install bootimage --git https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootimage.git --branch rewrite --force

Good news, it worked! Many thanks for that.

I also had a look to the branch. There has been a lot of rewriting. You've been quite active in few hours.

Great to hear that!

I just released the new code as version 0.8.0, in case you want to switch back to the official release.

I just did it and it actually corrected a bug when it didn't find the test executable :). Many thanks again.
