Describe the bug
Structures that contain references that use the Template derive implementation trigger the clippy::elidable_lifetime_names lint.
To Reproduce
The following code:
#![deny(clippy::elidable_lifetime_names)]
use askama::Template;
#[derive(Debug, Template)]
#[template(source = "", ext = "txt")]
struct Test<'a> {
_data: &'a (),
}
fn main() {}
produces the following error after running cargo clippy:
error: the following explicit lifetimes could be elided: 'a
--> src/main.rs:7:13
|
7 | struct Test<'a> {
| ^^
|
= help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#elidable_lifetime_names
help: elide the lifetimes
|
7 - struct Test<'a> {
7 + struct Test'_> {
|
However, the lifetime cannot be elided in this case.
Note that in addition to a regression in Askama itself, this might also qualify as a Clippy bug - see the suggestion produces an invalid Rust syntax!
Askama version
This is a regression introduced in v0.15. v0.14 doesn't trigger this.
