Rust actix-web: the trait `Handler<_, _>` is not implemented

Question

I've moved from using actix-web 3.x.x to 4.x.x. and the code that's been running perfectly fine before is now throwing this error:

the trait bound `fn(actix_web::web::Query<TweetParams>, actix_web::web::Data<Pool<Postgres>>) -> impl std::future::Future {tweets4}: Handler<_, _>` is not satisfied
  --> src/routes/all_routes.rs:74:14
   |
74 | pub async fn tweets4(
   |              ^^^^^^^ the trait `Handler<_, _>` is not implemented for `fn(actix_web::web::Query<TweetParams>, actix_web::web::Data<Pool<Postgres>>) -> impl std::future::Future {tweets4}`

After some googling it seems there is indeed a Handler trait in the actix ecosystem (however, not actix-web I think).

I can't figure out where I need to implement the trait. The error message seems to suggest that it's missing on the function itself, but my understanding is that you can only implement traits on structs and enums, not functions?

Here's the handler code:

#[get("/tweets4")]
pub async fn tweets4(
    form: web::Query<TweetParams>,
    pool: web::Data<PgPool>,
) -> Result<HttpResponse, HttpResponse> {
    let fake_json_data = r#"
    { "name": "hi" }
    "#;

    let v: Value = serde_json::from_str(fake_json_data)
        .map_err(|_| HttpResponse::InternalServerError().finish())?;

    sqlx::query!(
        r#"
        INSERT INTO users
        (id, created_at, twitter_user_id, twitter_name, twitter_handle, profile_image, profile_url, entire_user)
        VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8)
        "#,
        Uuid::new_v4(),
        Utc::now(),
        "3",
        "4",
        "5",
        "6",
        "7",
        v,
    )
        .execute(pool.as_ref())
        .await
        .map_err(|e| {
            println!("error is {}", e);
            HttpResponse::InternalServerError().finish()
        })?;

    Ok(HttpResponse::Ok().finish())
}

What am I getting wrong?

If helpful, the entire project is on github here.

If you still face the same error, another solution is just to switch to 1.0.8
