How to recursively test all crates under a directory?

Question

Some projects include multiple crates, which makes it a hassle to run all tests manually in each.

Is there a convenient way to recursively run cargo test ?

Answer 1

Update: since adding this answer 1.15 was released, adding cargo test --all, will compare this with a custom script.

---

This shell-script runs tests recursively on a git repository for all directories containing a Cargo.toml file (easy enough to edit for other VCS).

• Exits on the first error.
• Uses nocapture so stdout is shown
  (depends on personal preference, easy to adjust).
• Runs tests with RUST_BACKTRACE set, for more useful output.
• Builds and runs in two separate steps
  (workaround for this bug in 1.14 stable).
• Optional CARGO_BIN environment variable to override the cargo command
  (handy if you want to use a cargo-wrapper such as cargo-out-of-source builder).

Script:

#!/bin/bash

# exit on first error, see: http://stackoverflow.com/a/185900/432509
error() {
    local parent_lineno="$1"
    local message="$2"
    local code="${3:-1}"
    if [[ -n "$message" ]] ; then
        echo "Error on or near line ${parent_lineno}: ${message}; exiting with status ${code}"
    else
        echo "Error on or near line ${parent_lineno}; exiting with status ${code}"
    fi
    exit "${code}"
}
trap 'error ${LINENO}' ERR
# done with trap

# support cargo command override
if [[ -z $CARGO_BIN ]]; then
    CARGO_BIN=cargo
fi

# toplevel git repo
ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)

for cargo_dir in $(find "$ROOT" -name Cargo.toml -printf '%h\n'); do
    echo "Running tests in: $cargo_dir"
    pushd "$cargo_dir"
    RUST_BACKTRACE=0 $CARGO_BIN test --no-run
    RUST_BACKTRACE=1 $CARGO_BIN test -- --nocapture
    popd
done

Thanks to @набиячлэвэли's answer, this is an expanded version.

Answer 2

You could use a shell script. According to this answer, this

find . -name Cargo.toml -printf '%h\n'

Will print out the directories containing Cargo.toml, so, composing this with the rest of the standard shell utils yields us

for f in $(find . -name Cargo.toml -printf '%h\n' | sort -u); do
  pushd $f > /dev/null;
  cargo test;
  popd > /dev/null;
done

Which will iterate over all directories containing Cargo.toml (a good bet for crates) and run cargo test in them.

Answer 3

I cannot test it right now, but I believe you can use cargo test --all to do that.

Answer 4

You could use the cargo workspace feature. This crate collection uses it in combination with a Makefile, which can be used to compile each crate on its own.

(The workspace feature helps to not compile common dependencies multiple times)
