Outcome Running diesel print-schema --schema diesel_name_probe for the PostgreSQL table diesel_name_probe."work items" produces a schema that compiles, but its native Diesel query targets "diesel_name_probe"."diesel_name_probe.work items". PostgreSQL rejects that relation. Generated queries should target "diesel_name_probe"."work items". Versions Rust stable: rustc 1.98.1 (48a229cea 2026-09-01). Diesel and installed Diesel CLI: 2.3.13; diesel_derives 2.3.10. Diesel features: default features plus postgres. PostgreSQL: 17.11. OS: Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, x86_64 Linux. Steps to reproduce Create this ordinary fixture in a disposable PostgreSQL database: CREATE SCHEMA diesel_name_probe; CREATE TABLE diesel_name_probe."work items" ( id bigint PRIMARY KEY, label text NOT NULL ); INSERT INTO diesel_name_probe."work items" VALUES (1, 'native fixture'); With an otherwise empty [print_schema] configuration, run: diesel print-schema --schema diesel_name_probe The installed CLI actually emits

#5207, #5210, #5211 and #5212 added a fuzzing setup to diesel. This includes a basic corpus set. To get better results we would like to optimize the included corpus to better cover actual data. For binary database response values this means dumping at least one example for each type, better more covering all possible edge cases

Rust Version 1.90.0 Diesel Version Current main (85c79215, version 2.3.13) Diesel Features Not feature-specific. Additional affected types exist behind features such as r2d2. Database Version Not database-specific Operating System Version Not OS-specific What happened? Several error types across the Diesel workspace wrap underlying errors but do not represent those errors consistently through std::error::Error::source(). There are two related patterns: Some wrappers render the underlying error through Display, but expose it only through the deprecated Error::cause() or do not expose it at all. Modern chain-aware reporters therefore cannot traverse the complete error chain. Some wrappers render the underlying error through Display and also return it from source(). Chain-aware reporters can then print the same underlying message twice. A preliminary audit found the following affected types: diesel::result::Error InvalidCString QueryBuilderError DeserializationError SerializationE
