bake-test-rust 0.2.2

Reusable Rust test tasks for Bake
Documentation

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, bake test:coverage, and bake test:external interface while keeping Cargo and cargo-llvm-cov as the test runners.

Usage

Add the task crate to the private bake/ package:

[dependencies]
bake-test-rust = "0.2"

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

use bake_test_rust as _;

Then run the workspace tests:

cargo bake test
cargo bake test:coverage
cargo bake test:external

The coverage task runs documentation tests and requires 100% line coverage for the selected workspace test configuration. It prints uncovered source lines when the gate fails. Install cargo-llvm-cov first; see the Rust Testing guide for feature selection and architecture notes. Use --package name to limit a workspace run to one package.

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 canonical GitHub Actions workflows.

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. Follow the shared Releasing skill for the standard process.

Releases

See releases.md for the full release history.

v0.2.2

  • Declare compatibility with the Bake 0.x API so task libraries can share one task registry when upgrading to crate-derived task namespaces.

  • Document how to install and discover dependency context and skills.

  • Assert external test runs refresh each checkout's Cargo lockfile.

v0.2.1

  • Use the shared socketry-project Releasing skill for the standard release process and remove references to the duplicate Bake Cargo publishing context.

v0.2.0

  • Add a Bake task for 100% line coverage with missing-line output.
