Use wasmer crate without clap dependency?

[dsherret]

Summary

The wasmer 4.3.1 crate depends on wasmer-types 4.3.1, which depends on webc 6.0.0-alpha9, which has a pinned dependency on clap =4.4.11 -- https://crates.io/crates/webc/6.0.0-alpha9/dependencies - This causes issues when dependending on clap 4.5x.

Is there a way to use the wasmer crate without clap?

That’s a great call, I don’t think Wasmer should depend on clap at all. We’ll investigate and fix

[syrusakbary]

Ok, after further investigation, wasmer-wasix depends on webc which depends on clap.

clap shall not be a mandatory dependency on webc. We should have a webc-cli crate for that, and remove any clap dependencies from webc.
