Rust error E0560: struct has no field named

Q: How do I fix E0560 (struct has no field named)?

Use the real field names: Your editor will list them; so will the help line.

What it meansA struct literal names a field the struct does not have.

What rustc prints

error[E0560]: struct `Simba` has no field named `father`
 --> main.rs:7:28

7 | let s = Simba { mother: 1, father: 0 };
  |                            ^^^^^^ `Simba` does not have this field

The compiler team's explanation

An unknown field was specified into a structure.

Erroneous code example:

struct Simba {
    mother: u32,
}

let s = Simba { mother: 1, father: 0 };
// error: structure `Simba` has no field named `father`

Verify you didn't misspell the field's name or that the field exists. Example:

struct Simba {
    mother: u32,
    father: u32,
}

let s = Simba { mother: 1, father: 0 }; // ok!
