Neotest adapter for Rust, using cargo-nextest.

neotest-rust

Neotest adapter for Rust, using
cargo-nextest.

Requires nvim-treesitter
and the parser for Rust.

require("neotest").setup({
  adapters = {
    require("neotest-rust")
  }
})

If you wish to give additional arguments to the cargo nextest,
you can specify the args when initializing the adapter.

require("neotest").setup({
  adapters = {
    require("neotest-rust") {
        args = { "--no-capture" },
    }
  }
})

Supports standard library tests, rstest,
Tokio's [#tokio::test], and more. Does not support rstest's parametrized
tests.

Debugging Tests

Codelldb is the default adapter used for debugging.
Alternatives can be specified via the dap_adapter property during initialization.

require("neotest").setup({
  adapters = {
    require("neotest-rust") {
        args = { "--no-capture" },
        dap_adapter = "lldb",
    }
  }
})

See nvim-dap,
and rust-tools#debugging if you are using rust-tools.nvim,
for more information.

Limitations

The following limitations apply to both running and debugging tests.

  • Assumes unit tests in main.rs, mod.rs, and lib.rs are in a tests
    module.
  • Does not support rstest's #[case] macro.
  • When running tests for a main.rs in an integration test subdirectory (e.g.
    tests/testsuite/main.rs), all tests in that subdirectory will be run (e.g.
    all tests in tests/testsuite/). This is because Cargo lacks the capability
    to specify a test file.

Additionally, when debugging tests, no output from failed tests will be captured in the results provided to Neotest.
