Behavior in multi-crate projects

[mainrs]

Hello!

Is inventory supposed to work when using a multi-crate structure? I sketched out my project structure here: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=9da89efa993ce084845d5d7417cac9ae

I use Rust 1.62.1 on Linux. I ran cargo run --release -p cli.

I've had a similar problem with a multi-crate setup. What worked for me was adding extern crate declarations for the plugin crates (IMPL1/IPML2 in your crates) to the consumer (LIB for you).

Does that work?

extern crate did not work for me, my workaround is to do the collecting seperately in each crate.

Ran into this as well. Just having use IMPL1/2; in the equivalent of CLI solved it, something like this should work:

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=ba8d7419eea633650a285e5e5ec7f3d3

But after reading other threads for a while, it doesn't seem like this really should be necessary?
For example this issue seems to be a dupe of maybe both of these: which are marked closed + fixed: #7 #9
