Other options

Some other options accepted by cargo nextest run. Many of these options are also accepted as configuration settings and environment variables.

Runner options

• --no-fail-fast: do not exit the test run on the first failure. Most useful for CI scenarios.
• -j, --test-threads: number of tests to run simultaneously. Note that this is separate from the number of build jobs to run simultaneously, which is specified by --build-jobs.
• --run-ignored ignored-only runs ignored tests, while --run-ignored all runs both ignored and non-ignored tests.

Reporter options

--success-output and --failure-output

These options control when standard output and standard error are displayed for failing and passing tests, respectively. The possible values are:

• immediate: display output as soon as the test fails. Default for --failure-output.
• final: display output at the end of the test run.
• immediate-final: display output as soon as the test fails, and at the end of the run. This is most useful for CI jobs.
• never: never display output. Default for --success-output.

These options can also be configured via global configuration and per-test overrides. Specifying these options over the command line will override configuration settings.

--status-level and --final-status-level

• --status-level: which test statuses (PASS, FAIL etc) to display. There are 7 status levels: none, fail, retry, slow, pass, skip, all. Each status level causes all earlier status levels to be displayed as well (similar to log levels). (For example, setting status-level to skip will show failing, retried, slow and passing tests along with skipped tests.) The default is pass.
• --final-status-level: which test statuses to display at the end of a test run. For example, this can be set to fail to print out a list of failing tests at the end of a test run. The default is none.
