The libtest --include-ignored
flag is intended to be unstable, but it does not present a clear way to use it.
> cargo +nightly test -- --include-ignored
error: The "include-ignored" flag is only accepted on the nightly compiler
error: test failed, to rerun pass '--lib'
Hmm, I'm running on nightly. Only through some sleuthing can one find out that you have to pass -Zunstable-options
to make it work:
cargo +nightly test -- --include-ignored -Zunstable-options
There are several issues here (some of which were noted in the original PR):
- The text "is only accepted on the nightly compiler" should probably say something about
-Zunstable-options
. - The text "is only accepted on the nightly compiler" is wrong, it works on stable, too. And this isn't a compiler.
- There is no tracking issue for this feature, so there is nowhere to discuss it. Should one be created?
- The
--help
text gives no indication that this flag is unstable. - Is there any reason not to just stabilize it now?
