Description

rust-lang/rust#149400 restructured the nightly proc_macro_tracked_path feature (previously track_path), causing errors when compiling with --cfg=sqlx_macros_unstable on recent rust nightly:

error[E0433]: failed to resolve: could not find `tracked_path` in `proc_macro`

error: could not compile `sqlx-macros-core` (lib) due to 2 previous errors

The first error is because proc_macro::tracked_path::path was renamed to proc_macro::tracked::path, the second error is because the feature was renamed to proc_macro_tracked_path.

This affects at least sqlx 0.8.x and 0.9.0-alpha.1. On 0.9.0-alpha.1, the compiler additionally complains about the change from proc_macro::tracked_env::var to proc_macro::tracked::env_var as well as about a use of unresolved module or unlinked crate 'proc_macro'. I'm not sure whether the unresolved module issue is related to the feature structure changes:

Reproduction steps

As far as I can tell, compiling any crate using sqlx macros on latest nightly with --cfg=sqlx_macros_unstable should reproduce this.

SQLx version

Tested for 0.8.6, 0.9.0-alpha.1

Enabled SQLx features

"postgres", "runtime-tokio", "time"

Database server and version

PostgreSQL 18.0 (Debian 18.0-1.pgdg13+3)

Operating system

Linux

Rust version

rustc 1.95.0-nightly (d222ddc4d 2026-01-23)

Looked into this — confirmed on nightly 2026-04-01. The unstable proc_macro APIs got reshuffled in rust-lang/rust#149400:

• module tracked_env + module tracked_path were merged into a single module tracked
• proc_macro::tracked_env::var → proc_macro::tracked::env_var (note: also renamed from var to env_var)
• proc_macro::tracked_path::path → proc_macro::tracked::path
• features track_path → proc_macro_tracked_path (+ proc_macro_tracked_env)

It's a mechanical rename across sqlx-macros-core/src/{lib.rs,migrate.rs,query/cache.rs} plus the clippy.toml reason field. I can send a PR if that sounds right.
