Unable to update workspace dependencies

[BenJeau]

The updating mechanism cargo add ... doesn't support modifying workspace dependencies - rust-lang/cargo#10608

Consider maybe instead modifying directly the Cargo.toml file then running cargo check

This should be re-opened, as I've found this won't update your workspace projects own Cargo.toml files. This currently only works for the top-level one.

Hi @dessalines!

I think what you are describing is just a feature that this CLI tool doesn't support currently. The bug related to this issue was maybe not clear enough, but was about updating the [workspace.dependencies] section within the Cargo.toml file, which cargo add ... doesn't support (which was what this was using initially).

For you use-case, although it is not the best but should work, you could run the tool in every folder where there's a Cargo.toml where you want to update the dependencies. At the moment, the tool only looks and updates the Cargo.toml file at the current working directory.

Let me know if I understand your comment :)

Created a new issue #10 regarding updating deps of Cargo.toml files of workspaces.

Ah yep you're correct, thx for opening up a new issue. I'll comment there.
