Describe the bug

I have a library that my contracts use as a dependency.

library HuffDeployer {

When I compile this, I get:

Error: 
Failed to compile with zksolc: Missing libraries detected [ZkMissingLibrary { contract_name: "HuffDeployer", contract_path: "lib/foundry-huff/src/HuffDeployer.sol", missing_libraries: [] }]

Run the following command in order to deploy the missing libraries:
forge create --deploy-missing-libraries --private-key <PRIVATE_KEY> --rpc-url <RPC_URL> --chain <CHAIN_ID> --zksync

But in my missing_library_dependencies.json I have this:

[
  {
    "contract_name": "HuffDeployer",
    "contract_path": "lib/foundry-huff/src/HuffDeployer.sol",
    "missing_libraries": []
  }
]

Why is the missing_libraries empty? Even for testing locally do I have to deploy the library?

@PatrickAlphaC yes, you have to deploy all libraries even for testing locally as this is imposed by the compiler. You can refer to the docs on compiling non-inlinable libraries here.

If you have suggestions on how to improve the process of detecting, and informing the user to deploy, and re-compiling please comment accordingly.

Re-opening as this seems to disrupt the experience a lot. Will investigate a solution.
