`bake-test-rust`

Reusable Bake tasks for running Rust tests and testing downstream repositories against local Cargo workspace packages.

Motivation

Rust provides a good test runner through Cargo, but it does not provide a shared way to prepare project resources or exercise selected downstream crates. This package gives Rust projects a consistent bake test and bake test:external interface while keeping Cargo as the test runner.

Usage

Add the task crate to the private bake/ package:

[dependencies]
bake-test-rust = "0.1"

Link its tasks from bake/src/main.rs:

use bake_test_rust as _;

Then run the workspace tests:

cargo bake test
cargo bake test:external

Configure downstream repositories in the root Cargo.toml:

[[workspace.metadata.bake.test.external]]
repository = "https://github.com/socketry/downstream-project"
branch = "main"

See the Rust Testing guide for the test:before hook, checkout reuse, Cargo patching, and GitHub Actions setup.

Agent Context

This crate publishes context files for coding agents. Configure Bake Agent Context in your private bake/ crate, then run cargo bake agent:context:install --package bake-test-rust to install them in .agents/context/ and update agents.md.

Releasing

Prepare a release with cargo bake cargo:version:patch (or minor, major, or bump --version X.Y.Z), then run cargo bake cargo:release and open a pull request. After review and merge, GitHub Actions publishes the release when the configured crates-io environment approves it. See the Cargo publishing guide.

Releases

See releases.md for the full release history.
