cargo-zigbuild possible?

[nduchaux]

Hello,

Is it possible to combine cargo-nextest and cargo-zigbuild ?

I am compiling my project on a linux host (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu). To compile for my other targets (aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu and x86_64-pc-windows-gnu), I am using cargo-zigbuild. Everything is working smoothly. To run my tests on the different targets, I have configured the runner in the .cargo/config.toml file:

[target.aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu]
runner = "qemu-aarch64 -L /usr/aarch64-linux-gnu"

[target.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu]
runner = "wine"

cargo-zigbuild test --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu is working perfectly but if I could use cargo-nextest if would be paradise.

Thanks for the issue. Nextest will pick up the target runner correctly, but it's possible that zigbuild needs to gain a nextest command.

So in your opinion, it would make more sense to add a nextest command to zigbuild:
cargo-zigbuild nextest run --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
compared to a zigbuild command (or parameter) to nextest
cargo-nextest run --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu --zigbuild ?

Correct, yes. That is how tools like llvm-cov integrate into nextest as well.

FYI I created a thread in the zigbuild github to discuss this possibility rust-cross/cargo-zigbuild#427
