Substrate tutorials - trait `MaxEncodedLen` is not implemented for `Vec<u8>`

Presently, in working through the substrate tutorials, I've got to the "Build the runtime with your new pallet" section. With files updated and double checked as per the tutorial.

I'm getting the following error on pre-build check (the previous tutorials had built ok, Ubuntu 20.04.3):

cargo check -p node-template-runtime

Gives:

error: build failed

I have the following in my Cargo.toml:

[dependencies.sp-std]
default-features = false
git = 'https://github.com/paritytech/substrate.git'
tag = 'monthly-2021-11-1'  # or the latest monthly
version = '4.0.0-dev'      # or the latest version

Is there some obvious thing that might've gone wrong? How might I start to debug/fix this?

Solution

  • In the latest frame_support::pallet, #[pallet::generate_storage_info] is no longer explicitly available. And if someone is still getting the error

    the trait MaxEncodedLen is not implemented for xxx

    add #[pallet::without_storage_info] after #[pallet::pallet]
