rustup: Fresh install on macos can't install rustfmt and clippy using rustup

Following the instructions in https://beta.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started I ran the commands:

rustup add component rustfmt and rustup add component clippy and got the following errors:

error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-apple-darwin' does not contain component 'rustfmt' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin'

and

error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-apple-darwin' does not contain component 'clippy' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin'

I am new to the community, so apologies if this has an obvious explanation.

EDIT:

rustup toolchain remove stable && rustup toolchain add stable

fixed the problem.

FWIW I had to run the following to get to a working state.

rustup toolchain remove stable && rustup toolchain install stable

I’m seeing the same issue on macOS 10.12.

I did rustup self update and here is the output of -V

rustup 1.16.0 (beab5ac2b 2018-12-06)

Went with rustup toolchain remove nightly && rustup toolchain add nightly instead - seems ok

What happens if you then rustup component add --toolchain nightly rustfmt || rustup component add --toolchain nightly clippy? On my system, I get:

> rustup component add --toolchain nightly rustfmt || rustup component add --toolchain nightly clippy
error: component 'rustfmt' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin' is unavailable for download
info: backtrace:

stack backtrace:
…
error: component 'clippy' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin' is unavailable for download
info: backtrace:

stack backtrace:
…

Which makes sense, given that both rustfmt and clippy are missing from today’s nightly according to https://mexus.github.io/rustup-components-history/x86_64-apple-darwin.html.

No luck with rustup self update. By the way the same problem arose on a Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS box:

error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' does not contain component 'rustfmt' for target 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'

As for the beta and nightly toolchains, is the documentation at https://beta.rust-lang.org/ supposed to work only with those? I think the website should explicitly mention it, because the wording suggests that the only beta is the website, not the tooling.

I could also fix this issue by removing and adding stable again.

rhysd on Dec 7, 2018

@jxub I think you just need to re-install cargo-clippy via rustup component add clippy.

Had the same issue with rustc 1.33.0 on Darwin (macos Mojave) and fish shell.

Following the consensus (rustup toolchain remove nightly && rustup toolchain add nightly) from the comments above seems to fail, so I guess what does apply to nightly applies to 1.33 as well.

jxub on Mar 2, 2019

Regardless, it isn’t unclear that it’s the same issue, since this issue was originally that the stable toolchain “does not contain component”, whereas this error message says it’s “unavailable for download.”

Indeed, it’s unrelated. My issue is that clippy is actually unavailable for today’s nightly, per https://mexus.github.io/rustup-components-history/x86_64-apple-darwin.html.

mykmelez on Jan 28, 2019

Could you try running rustup self update and then try again please? You’ll also need to try on eitherr beta or nightly toolchains, not stable.
