Serde JSON from Struct Example Not Working

I can't seem to get the provided example of serializing a struct with serde to work. I'm implementing the trait Serialize for my Address struct, but I get a compile error that this trait is not implemented. What am I doing wrong?

[dependencies]
serde = "1.0.118"
serde_json = "1.0.60"

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use serde_json::Result;

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Address {
    street: String,
    city: String,
}
fn main(){
    print_an_address();
}

fn print_an_address() -> Result<()> {
    // Some data structure.
    let address = Address {
        street: "10 Downing Street".to_owned(),
        city: "London".to_owned(),
    };

    // Serialize it to a JSON string.
    let j = serde_json::to_string(&address)?;

    // Print, write to a file, or send to an HTTP server.
    println!("{}", j);

    Ok(())
}

error[E0277]: the trait bound `Address: Serialize` is not satisfied

You need to specify the derive feature for serde in Cargo.toml.

serde = { version = "1.0.118", features = ["derive"] }

See this for more info: https://serde.rs/derive.html
