Quick Fix: Instead of passing 'self, capture it as 'static. Ensure that captured references are 'static as well.

The Problem:

In Rust, you’re having trouble understanding the ‘self’ escape error when attempting to pass a closure that captures a reference to ‘self’ to a function with a ‘static lifetime. You’re not sure how to resolve this error and ensure that ‘self’ remains valid when the closure is executed.

Q&A

Does the problem results from the closure capturing the reference of self?

Yes, the closure captures the reference of self.

What is the solution to this issue?

Ensure that all references passed into the closure are also at least 'static.
