Triple-quoted strings result in an error

[mgeisler]

Hi there!

When trying to set the version number for a crate (my lipsum crate) which uses triple-quoted strings, I get an error:

Error: Mismatch between location and raw string, expected 7 lines for """"
Lipsum is a lorem ipsum text generation library. Use this if you need
filler or dummy text for your application.

The text is generated using a simple Markov chain, which you can also
instantiate to generate your own pieces of pseudo-random text.
""""

The Cargo.toml file has a triple-quoted description:

[package]
name = "lipsum"
version = "0.8.0"
authors = ["Martin Geisler <[email protected]>"]
description = """
Lipsum is a lorem ipsum text generation library. Use this if you need
filler or dummy text for your application.

The text is generated using a simple Markov chain, which you can also
instantiate to generate your own pieces of pseudo-random text.
"""
documentation = "https://docs.rs/lipsum/"
repository = "https://github.com/mgeisler/lipsum/"
readme = "README.md"

To the best of my knowledge, this is a valid TOML file, but it somehow triggers the above error. I wasn't able to figure out what the problem is.

Thanks for the report!

I almost certain that this is a problem with the toml parsing library that we are using: https://github.com/timhall/toml-patch

If you can reproduce the problem with just that library, do you mind opening this issue upstream?

[mgeisler]

Yeah, it's reproducible upstream, I opened timhall/toml-patch#25 to track this.
