Description
Several people have custom target-dir in their ~.cargo/config.toml, or they override
CARGO_TARGET_DIR / CARGO_BUILD_TARGET_DIT, see https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#buildtarget-dir
But this does not play nicely with rust_source or rust_function, because it doesn't invoke a cargo update, therefore,
it sometimes result in using of cached dependencies, instead of defaulting to the latest one.
If one only used the published extendr-api on crates.io, then maybe that would be fine, but with use of say use_dev_extendr=, it becomes a source of false positives (in terms of errors).
I believe we should either set / reset this environment variable when creating "homeless" rust snippets, and even
or even use --target-dir in the cargo-invocation even, see https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-build.html?highlight=target-dir#output-options for documentation.
