rust-lang/rust#37824 might be relevant here

Just ran into this.

What's the last nightly that this works with?

What's the last nightly that this works with?

I think it's nightly-2016-11-06.

[theduke]

With 2016-11-06 I get other errors with _derive 0.8.18. (after cargo clean).

For anyone who has this problem too, this is the combination that works for me:

• nightly-2016-11-06 ( rustup override set nightly-2016-11-06 )
• serde_derive 0.8.17 ( serde_derive = "= 0.8.17" )

[dtolnay]

Fixed in serde_derive 0.8.19.

That was quick, thank you!
