Bug: dependency ring cannot target wasm32_unknown_unknown

[itsezc]

Describe the bug

While trying to build a project with Dioxus and Surreal, I've tried following the guide laid out on docs.rs and ran through dx serve Surreal is preventing a successful build because of its dependency on ring.

Steps to reproduce

Expected behaviour

For a successful build and to use Surreal rs library through WASM

SurrealDB version

1.1.0

I think I'm encountering a similar issue when trying to build the wasm32 part of Surrealist. The official build seems to work fine though.

  = note: rust-lld: error: unknown file type: /tmp/Surrealist/src-embed/target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/debug/deps/libring-7a9c2e89961580ad.rlib(curve25519.o)

This is a huge blocker for anyone trying to use the Surreal crate as client on their Rust frontend projects, would be interested on advice regarding whether to take this issue upstream (to ring) or leave it here.

Issue is only persistent on Apple Silicone Macs and not on elsewhere from my findings. Upstream issue comments suggest it's due to Apple Clang fork being different to LLMVs not supporting wasm compilation target.

Reference: briansmith/ring#1824 (comment)

Solutions:

• Build clang from LLVM as suggested by the upstream issue
• Run on a non Apple Silicone OS i.e. Container, VM etc.
• If using the surrealdb crate just as a client, then perhaps consider the following:
  • Using a GraphQL Client
  • Build your own Rust client
  • Feature: Properly feature gate surrealdb internals for those who wish to only use the remote engines #3213

[MDM23]

For reference - in order to be built with Nix, the following was required:

rustPlatform.buildRustPackage {

  # ...

  nativeBuildInputs = [
    rustc.llvmPackages.clangNoLibc
    rustc.llvmPackages.lld
  ];

  buildPhase = ''
    CC=clang CARGO_TARGET_WASM32_UNKNOWN_UNKNOWN_LINKER=lld cargo build \
      --target wasm32-unknown-unknown \
      --release
  '';
}

@itsezc Does this still happen for you on nightly? We merged a fix for ring two days ago.

Yes it does @rushmorem, does not build on MacOS (due to what I believe to be an upstream issue with ring and custom clang Apple ships).

Here's how I have my Cargo.toml setup for surreal:

[dependencies]
	dioxus.workspace = true
	dioxus-web.workspace = true
	dioxus-router.workspace = true
	serde.workspace = true
	surrealdb = { git = 'https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb' }

Can you try disabling rustls to see if the issue still persists?

surrealdb = { version = "1", default-features = false, features = ["protocol-ws"], package = "surrealdb-nightly" }

[itsezc]

Can you try disabling rustls to see if the issue still persists?

surrealdb = { version = "1", default-features = false, features = ["protocol-ws"], package = "surrealdb-nightly" }

Using this config:

[dependencies]
	dioxus.workspace = true
	dioxus-web.workspace = true
	dioxus-router.workspace = true
	serde.workspace = true
	surrealdb = { version = "1", default-features = false, features = [
		"protocol-ws",
	], package = "surrealdb-nightly" }

Running dx serve or dx build results in:

dx serve
[INFO] 🚅 Running build command...
error: Broken pipe (os error 32)
Error: 🚫 Serving project failed: error: failed to build archive: 'wasm32.o': section too large


The following warnings were emitted during compilation:


error: could not compile `psm` (lib) due to 2 previous errors

Note: I'm using Dioxus 0.4.3

[rushmorem]

I think that new error is related to surrealdb/surrealdb.wasm#41. There is a potential workaround here surrealdb/surrealdb.wasm#41 (comment).
