Unable to disable self-update feature

[lcheylus]

I'm building cargo-nextest current version on OpenBSD-current/amd64, using my patch for libc crate (add missing waitid function, see rust-lang/libc#3490) => build OK

• I'm trying to disable self-update feature according to https://nexte.st/book/updating.html for packaging the tool.

$ cargo build -v --no-default-features --features default-no-update

But the "self-update" feature is not disabled with this build:

$ target/debug/cargo-nextest nextest self update --help
Download and install updates to nextest

This command checks the internet for updates to nextest, then downloads and installs them if an update is available.

Usage: cargo nextest self update [OPTIONS]

$ target/debug/cargo-nextest nextest self update
info: checking for self-updates
info: cargo-nextest is already at the latest version: 0.9.66

• If I try to remove "self-update" feature from default features in cargo-nextest/Cargo.toml:

[features]
default = []

the "self-update" is correctly disabled after build:

$ target/debug/cargo-nextest nextest self update --help
This version of nextest does not have self-update enabled

Always exits with code 93 (SELF_UPDATE_UNAVAILABLE).

Usage: cargo nextest self update [OPTIONS]

$ target/debug/cargo-nextest nextest self update
info: this version of cargo-nextest cannot perform self-updates
(hint: this usually means nextest was installed by a package manager)

I don't understand why "self-update" feature is not disabled using --no-default-features --features default-no-update.

Thanks, fixed in 770b6cc.

OK, build the last version with --no-default-features --features default-no-update

$ ./target/debug/cargo-nextest nextest self update --help
This version of nextest does not have self-update enabled

Always exits with code 93 (SELF_UPDATE_UNAVAILABLE).
(...)

./target/debug/cargo-nextest nextest self update

Thanks
