my building is failing inside setuptools-rust inside cibuildwheel for aarch64 on github actions

[samuelcolvin]

First of all: sorry to post here, I'm aware this probably isn't a problem with this package. But I don't know where else to ask, I also hope this might help others if they experience the same issue.

See samuelcolvin/watchfiles#154 for a full description.

Basically build of my package is failing with the following error:

...
          File "/tmp/pip-build-env-3sp8fxqi/overlay/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils/dist.py", line 986, in run_command

            target_directory = ext._metadata()["target_directory"]
          File "/tmp/pip-build-env-3sp8fxqi/overlay/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools_rust/extension.py", line 225, in _metadata
            self._cargo_metadata = json.loads(subprocess.check_output(metadata_command))
          File "/opt/python/cp38-cp38/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 415, in check_output
            return run(*popenargs, stdout=PIPE, timeout=timeout, check=True,
          File "/opt/python/cp38-cp38/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 516, in run
            raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args,
        subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['cargo', 'metadata', '--manifest-path', 'Cargo.toml', '--format-version', '1']' died with <Signals.SIGKILL: 9>.
        [end of output]

But this is only happening on linux with arch set to aarch64 using qemu. Build has started failing without any code changes so I'm not sure where to look.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise feel free to close this issue.

I suspect it might be a similar issue as rust-lang/cargo#10583 (comment)

[samuelcolvin]

Thanks so much, that looks right. However what's odd is it was previously working with rust 1.60, but when I tried that now I got the same error.

Still it's helpful, maybe I'll try an earlier rust.

[samuelcolvin]

That worked. Fix for me was to set CARGO_NET_GIT_FETCH_WITH_CLI="true", see samuelcolvin/watchfiles#156
