运行 `cargo test --workspace` 并排除一项测试

Question

I have a workspace with several crates. I need to exclude a particular test.

I tried adding an environment variable check, but this doesn't work. I guess cargo test filters out the environment variables.

// package1/src/lib.rs

// ...

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {

    #[test]
    fn test1() {
        if std::env::var("CI").is_ok() {
            return;
        }
        // ...
    }
}

Then I tried passing the --exclude parameter with various options, but none of them work:

• cargo test --workspace --exclude test1
• cargo test --workspace --exclude tests:test1
• cargo test --workspace --exclude tests::test1
• cargo test --workspace --exclude '*test1'
• cargo test --workspace --exclude 'tests*test1'
• cargo test --workspace --exclude package1 This skips all of the tests in the package.
• cargo test --workspace --exclude 'package1*test1'

How can I run all workspace tests except one?

Answer 1

Excluding a test

The help file by running cargo test -- --help lists useful options:

--skip FILTER   Skip tests whose names contain FILTER (this flag can
                be used multiple times)

Regarding the -- after test , see:

• What does “--” (double-dash) mean?

src/lib.rs

fn add(a: u64, b: u64) -> u64 {
    a + b
}

fn mul(a: u64, b: u64) -> u64 {
    a * b
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::{add, mul};

    #[test]
    fn test_add() {
        assert_eq!(add(21, 21), 42);
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_mul() {
        assert_eq!(mul(21, 2), 42);
    }
}

Runing the above with cargo test -- --skip test_mul will give the following output:

running 1 test
test tests::test_add ... ok

Excluding a test within a specific package

If you want to exclude a specific test for package within a workspace, you can do so in the following way, replacing my_package and my_test with their appropriate names:

Test all, but exclude my_package

cargo test --workspace --exclude my_package

And then test my_package itself, with the specific test excluded by adding --skip my_test :

cargo test --package my_package -- --skip my_test

For more options, see:

• The Cargo Book, "cargo-test(1)"

Excluding a test by default

Alternatively, you could add the #[ignore] attribute to tests that should not run by default. You can still run them separately if you wish to do so:

src/lib.rs

#[test]
#[ignore]
fn test_add() {
    assert_eq!(add(21, 21), 42);
}

Running the tests using cargo test -- --ignored :

running 1 test
test tests::test_add ... ok

If you're using Rust >= 1.51 and want to run all tests, including those marked with the #[ignore] attribute, you can pass --include-ignored .
