Clippy exercises panic in codespaces

[bglebrun]

Hi, I really love rustlings, thank you for this really great tool!

The clippy exercises seem to panic during a watch or run clippy1 inside of codespaces. This does not happen when I run the exercises on a local machine.

Failed to write 📎 Clippy 📎 Cargo.toml file.: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

I tried to run an install command in order to check that clippy was installed

I ran into the same error. This happened after updating my local Rustlings repo but not rebuilding the Rustlings binary.
This was because the path of the Clippy exercises changed (#1727), so my binary tried to access the old path.

So, reinstalling solved the issue.

cargo install --path .

This solution by @richardstrnad richardstrnad works for the below error too
