Bump matchers

[oscargus]

Motivation

See #2945, this is an alternative to that.

Solution

Instead of removing it, make use of the recently released version.

(Not sure the tests pass as some tests fail on my Windows machine without this modification... So better to run it here.)

Edit: some obvious errors, I'll update when I believe more in it working... Seems to be OK now. Same error, but it has changed name between 0.1 and 0.2, so not clear if one can include this in the 0.3-series...

From a quick glance, it looks like this error type is on the FromStr impl for MatchPattern and MatchPattern is not part of the public API. So this change should be okay.

[oscargus]

You are correct. I thought parse_regex was part of the public API somehow, but was wrong.

Btw, I noted that you have a separate branch for the releases. Is this, if merged, (automatically) backported or should I create a similar PR against the v0.1.x-branch?

[BurntSushi]

(I'm just the regex-automata author here looking to see folks move off of regex-automata 0.1, I'm not sure about tokio's processes here. Apologies.)

[mladedav]

Generally, the maintainers handle backporting to v0.1.x.

Yup, that's correct, this shouldn't be a breaking change AFAICT.

We merge PRs into the master branch and they are backported to v0.1.x by the maintainers. I can take care of that. Thank you!

[hawkw]

Thanks for working on this!

It looks like the matchers::BuildError type doesn't implement std::error::Error, which breaks some code that uses ? on it in a method that returns Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/actions/runs/9930533323/job/27719987902?pr=3033#step:7:218

I think that, in order to fix that, we should add our own private, internal error type for the FromStr impl for MatchPatternthat wraps thematchers::BuildErrorand implementsstd::error::Error. This wrapper type doesn't need to be public, it just needs to be able to be converted into a Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>`

Why not go with the 90 loc in #2945 if this needs extra code anyways?

I'll check with more rust-knowledgeable colleagues what this really means and see if I can implement that. :-)

Then, I guess, one can compare with #2945.

(It also seems to make sense, and possibly be easier, to have matchers::BuildError to implement std::error::Error? Although that requires an additional release of matchers etc. Anyway, I opened hawkw/matchers#7 . So let's see what comes first...)

Edit: BuildError comes from regex_automata::dfa::dense and the following code exists:
https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/blob/8856fe36ac7dc37989e6ffb26b5fc57189bae626/regex-automata/src/meta/error.rs#L96-L104

It seems like tracing-subscriber imports regex with the std feature:

tracing/tracing-subscriber/Cargo.toml

Line 46 in acf92ab

regex = { optional = true, version = "1.6.0", default-features = false, features = ["std", "unicode-case", "unicode-perl"] }

which in turn should import regex_automata with the std feature:
https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/blob/8856fe36ac7dc37989e6ffb26b5fc57189bae626/Cargo.toml#L42-L47

If I read the blame correct, this was included in regex 1.9. I'll bump that dependency to see what happens and then one can discuss if that is a viable solution.

Alternatively, I think (my detailed knowledge of the Rust eco-system is not 100%) one can add a dependency on regex_automata with the std feature if one would like to avoid bumping regex?

[oscargus]

@hawkw Would you mind starting the workflow? Interesting to see if this solves the issue and then we/you can discuss if it is an acceptable solution.

[scottlamb]

I'd also like to see the duplicate regex-automata version eliminated. As in, a variation of this PR backported to 0.1.x.

If I read the blame correct, [a dep on regex-automata/std] was included in regex 1.9 [when regex/std is enabled]. I'll bump that dependency to see what happens and then one can discuss if that is a viable solution.

I think that works now but is fragile. regex-automata isn't part of regex's public API afaict, so some future version of regex could stop depending on regex-automata/std.

Alternatively, I think (my detailed knowledge of the Rust eco-system is not 100%) one can add a dependency on regex_automata with the std feature if one would like to avoid bumping regex?

I think that's better, or matchers always enabling regex-automata/std. I sent off a PR for the latter just now: hawkw/matchers#8
