Description

I created a project using the proxy example
After running cargo build I see the following errors:

Some errors have detailed explanations: E0277, E0425, E0432, E0433.
For more information about an error, try `rustc --explain E0277`.
error: could not compile `proxy`.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

Could you please let me know if there really is a problem with the versions or if there are others that I should use?

[asonix]

it looks to me like you haven't added any features to your tokio dependency.

try

tokio = { version = "0.2.4", features = ["full"] }

It also looks like Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> doesn't implement Termination, which is unfortunate. You could try replacing Box<dyn Error> with anyhow::Error (docs) and see if that gets you where you need.

[seguidor777]

You are absolutely right, I am new to Rust and did not know of the features addition.

Thanks a lot!
