Root Cause

Type doesn't implement a required trait. Common with Display, Debug, Clone, Serialize.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 92% success Add #[derive(Trait)] to your struct/enum 
    #[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize)]

    Sources: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-03-derivable-traits.html

  2. 85% success Add the trait bound to your generic function signature 
    fn process<T: Display + Clone>(item: T)

    Sources: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch10-02-traits.html#traits-as-parameters

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Implement the trait manually when derive would work 55% fail

    Unnecessary boilerplate for standard traits

  2. Remove the trait bound from the function 70% fail

    Breaks the function's ability to use trait methods
