# Cargo Pretty Test ✨
[](https://github.com/josecelano/pretty-test/actions/workflows/testing.yaml)
[](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-pretty-test)
[](https://docs.rs/cargo-pretty-test)
A Rust command-line tool that prettifies the ugly `cargo test` output into a beautiful output.
This crate can be also used as a library that [fully parses][parsing] the output from `cargo test`.
[parsing]: https://docs.rs/cargo-pretty-test/*/cargo_pretty_test/parsing/index.html
```console
$ cargo pretty-test --workspace --no-fail-fast
Error details from `cargo test` if any ... (Omitted here)

## Usage
Install:
```console
cargo install cargo-pretty-test
```
Run in your project:
```console
cargo pretty-test
```
Note: all the arguments passed to `cargo pretty-test` are forwarded to `cargo test`.
---
Run in CI as a summary: [demo](https://github.com/josecelano/cargo-pretty-test/actions/runs/6334295212)
```console
- id: pretty-test
name: Run cargo pretty-test
run: |
cargo install cargo-pretty-test
cargo pretty-test --color=always
echo '```text' >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
echo "$(cargo pretty-test --color=never)" >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
echo '```' >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
```

Note: `--color=always` produces texts in color when running CI, and `--color=never`
strips ANSI escapes before written to summary.
