Cargo check succeeds when it shouldn't

[oriongonza]

Problem

Cargo build fails and cargo check suceeds. It gets fixed on cargo clean

Steps

1. Sometimes cargo check succeeds (in 0.01s) when it shouldn't
2. Cargo build doesn't work
3. if cargo clean gets run it works (fails) again

Notes

It's not extremely uncommon lately. I notice because rust-analyzer stops working.

I have no idea why this happens or how to collect more information.

Could you try getting a minimal set of steps to reproduce? It would help investigate the issue.

Some possibly relevant issues:

• cargo check doesn't give correct diagnostics #12896
• Cargo check doesn't catch error in associated constant #11780
• The cargo check has some false positive judgement #11984

As I mentioned I have no idea how to reproduce this. It just happens sometimes

I am going to close this as there is no concrete reproduction for a while. Feel free to opena a new issue when you have a way to reproduce the error. Thank you.

Must have been fixed in an update because I stopped getting that error a while ago.
