Nextest Alternatives

nextest reviews and mentions

  We are using cargo-nextest to run the tests in Github Workflows. Some crates do not support running plain cargo test anymore, prefer cargo nextest run instead. You can install cargo-nextest with cargo install cargo-nextest.

• The abysmal state of GNU/Linux and a case against shared object libraries

  I build my programs to be append-only, such that users can always update to new versions with confidence.

  For example, I'm the primary author and maintainer of cargo-nextest [1], which is a popular alternative test runner for Rust. Through its history it has had just one regression.

  If I did ever release a new major version of nextest, I would definitely keep the old branch going for a while, and make noises about it going out of support within the next X months.

• Show HN: Maelstrom – A Hermetic, Clustered Test Runner for Python and Rust
  6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Jul 2024

  For Rust tests, can this be combined with nextest [0]? (Maelstron provides the cargo maelstron command, and nextest provides the cargo nextest command, with no obvious way to compose them)

  I guess an env variable to specify which test command to run (very low level) or something like cargo maelstron --nextest would work (but then how to compose with other test runners?)

  Now,

  > It's fast. In most cases, Maelstrom is faster than cargo test, even without using clustering.

  That's surprising. Why is this the case?

  Will Maelstron without clustering (running on a single machine) be faster than nextest as well? (Nextest is also faster than bare cargo test [1])

• My favourite Git commit (2019)

  > On my work I make 1-15 commits a day. If I have to spend thought cycles on the commit message, that is time that goes from other productive endeavours.

  I make roughly that many commits a day as well. If something's easy to understand I'll put in a simple commit message (e.g. [1]), but I do put in the effort for more complicated ones.

  If you need fancier testing than what's built into Rust, cargo-nextest is becoming quite popular.

• Customizable testing framework

  https://nexte.st/ is what is getting all the attention as a replacement test harness/framework these days.

  I believe cargo-nextest supports running separate binaries concurrently.

• Fellow Rust enthusiasts: What "sucks" about Rust?
  25 projects | /r/rust | 10 Mar 2023

  Do you already use nextest or something else? That really leans into test parallelism and sounds like a perfect fit for how you structure the tests.
