Allow passing args through to test binary with nextest #796
Conversation
Pass `cargo insta test -- --status-level fail -- --nocapture`, with an additional `--` for args to nextest. Currently it maintains backward compat -- a single `--` will pass to the test binary only, with a depreciation. (for transparency, Claude Code helped with the code)
- Install cargo-nextest in Makefile if not present before running cargo-insta tests - This ensures CI has nextest available for the new tests - Tests will panic with helpful message if nextest is missing locally
- Add nextest installation to all test jobs that might run cargo-insta tests - Uses taiki-e/install-action@nextest for efficient installation - Ensures nextest is available for the new test suite
Changed footnote reference format from [1]: to [^1]: to match the reference [^1] used in the text.

Thanks for working on this! I'm not sure the double |
I considered this. but then would (and then less keen on adding options to insta to track all of nextest's) |
I was thinking of But both examples you're showing are good enough IMO. I would be more uncomfortable with Anyway, that's probably a matter of taste. In the end, any solution would work for me 👍 |
Documents the new ability to pass arguments to both nextest and test binaries using the additional separator pattern.
- Remove unnecessary argument splitting logic - Pass all args as opaque list to nextest, let it handle its own separator - Use decisive comments that describe what IS, not history - Cleaner conditional logic without complex tuple destructuring
- Add test for backward compatibility with single separator - Add test verifying args go to nextest with double separator - Inline has_additional_separator check where it's used - Tests now cover all argument routing scenarios
Resolved changelog conflict by keeping both entries: - Our nextest argument passing feature - The 1-based line numbering change from master
- Explain that backward compat works via nextest's test filter behavior - Update changelog to note that only unrecognized args work as test filters - Enhance deprecation warning to explain the mechanism - Add detailed code comments about the argument routing strategy - Clarify that nextest-specific flags would be consumed by nextest

on reflection, this code is overly complicated and would be much simpler if we didn't run doctests separately. so I got around to doing #803, and we can merge a version of this when we've removed the supplemental doctest run |

Pass args to nextest and test binary with two
--— every after the first--goes to nextest, and nextest passes everything after the second--to the test binary.For example,
cargo insta test -- --status-level fail -- --nocaptureCurrently it maintains backward compat -- a single
--will pass to the test binary only, with a depreciation warning. eventually that'll pass them to nextest only.(for transparency, Claude Code helped with the code)
