RustRover

Nextest integrates with the JetBrains RustRover IDE.

Requirements

  • RustRover 2026.1 or above
  • A recent version of nextest.

Running tests from within RustRover

In Settings, under Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Cargo -> Run tests using, choose nextest.

Then, if you run a test from within the UI, RustRover will invoke nextest.

Screenshot of RustRover showing a context menu with "Run 'Nextest run platform...'" highlighted by a red oval, along with a test run panel at the bottom indicating 1 test passed. A green "run test" gutter icon next to the module declaration is also circled in red.

Debugging from RustRover

Currently, RustRover does not support debugging tests with the nextest environment configured. For more, see Debugger and tracer integration.
