<h2 id="controlling-how-tests-are-run"><a class="header" href="#controlling-how-tests-are-run">Controlling How Tests Are Run</a></h2>
<p>Just as <code>cargo run</code> compiles your code and then runs the resultant binary,
<code>cargo test</code> compiles your code in test mode and runs the resultant test
binary. The default behavior of the binary produced by <code>cargo test</code> is to run
all the tests in parallel and capture output generated during test runs,
preventing the output from being displayed and making it easier to read the
output related to the test results. You can, however, specify command line
options to change this default behavior.</p>
<p>Some command line options go to <code>cargo test</code>, and some go to the resultant test
binary. To separate these two types of arguments, you list the arguments that
go to <code>cargo test</code> followed by the separator <code>--</code> and then the ones that go to
the test binary. Running <code>cargo test --help</code> displays the options you can use
with <code>cargo test</code>, and running <code>cargo test -- --help</code> displays the options you
can use after the separator. These options are also documented in <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/tests/index.html">the “Tests”
section of <em>The <code>rustc</code> Book</em></a>.</p>
<h3 id="running-tests-in-parallel-or-consecutively"><a class="header" href="#running-tests-in-parallel-or-consecutively">Running Tests in Parallel or Consecutively</a></h3>
<p>When you run multiple tests, by default they run in parallel using threads,
meaning they finish running more quickly and you get feedback sooner. Because
the tests are running at the same time, you must make sure your tests dont
depend on each other or on any shared state, including a shared environment,
such as the current working directory or environment variables.</p>
<p>For example, say each of your tests runs some code that creates a file on disk
named <em>test-output.txt</em> and writes some data to that file. Then, each test
reads the data in that file and asserts that the file contains a particular
value, which is different in each test. Because the tests run at the same time,
one test might overwrite the file in the time between when another test is
writing and reading the file. The second test will then fail, not because the
code is incorrect but because the tests have interfered with each other while
running in parallel. One solution is to make sure each test writes to a
different file; another solution is to run the tests one at a time.</p>
<p>If you dont want to run the tests in parallel or if you want more fine-grained
control over the number of threads used, you can send the <code>--test-threads</code> flag
and the number of threads you want to use to the test binary. Take a look at
the following example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-console">$ cargo test -- --test-threads=1
</code></pre>
<p>We set the number of test threads to <code>1</code>, telling the program not to use any
parallelism. Running the tests using one thread will take longer than running
them in parallel, but the tests wont interfere with each other if they share
state.</p>
<h3 id="showing-function-output"><a class="header" href="#showing-function-output">Showing Function Output</a></h3>
<p>By default, if a test passes, Rusts test library captures anything printed to
standard output. For example, if we call <code>println!</code> in a test and the test
passes, we wont see the <code>println!</code> output in the terminal; well see only the
line that indicates the test passed. If a test fails, well see whatever was
printed to standard output with the rest of the failure message.</p>
<p>As an example, Listing 11-10 has a silly function that prints the value of its
parameter and returns 10, as well as a test that passes and a test that fails.</p>
<figure class="listing" id="listing-11-10">

}
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
use super::*;
#[test]
fn this_test_will_pass() {
let value = prints_and_returns_10(4);
assert_eq!(value, 10);
}
#[test]
fn this_test_will_fail() {
let value = prints_and_returns_10(8);
assert_eq!(value, 5);
}
}</code></pre>
<figcaption><a href="#listing-11-10">Listing 11-10</a>: Tests for a function that calls <code>println!</code></figcaption>
</figure>
<p>When we run these tests with <code>cargo test</code>, well see the following output:</p>
<pre><code class="language-console">$ cargo test

of the test summary output, which also shows the cause of the test failure.</p>
<p>If we want to see printed values for passing tests as well, we can tell Rust to
also show the output of successful tests with <code>--show-output</code>:</p>

<p>Running a full test suite can sometimes take a long time. If youre working on
code in a particular area, you might want to run only the tests pertaining to
that code. You can choose which tests to run by passing <code>cargo test</code> the name
or names of the test(s) you want to run as an argument.</p>
<p>To demonstrate how to run a subset of tests, well first create three tests for
our <code>add_two</code> function, as shown in Listing 11-11, and choose which ones to run.</p>

<p>Only the test with the name <code>one_hundred</code> ran; the other two tests didnt match
that name. The test output lets us know we had more tests that didnt run by
displaying <code>2 filtered out</code> at the end.</p>
<p>We cant specify the names of multiple tests in this way; only the first value
given to <code>cargo test</code> will be used. But there is a way to run multiple tests.</p>
<h4 id="filtering-to-run-multiple-tests"><a class="header" href="#filtering-to-run-multiple-tests">Filtering to Run Multiple Tests</a></h4>
<p>We can specify part of a test name, and any test whose name matches that value
will be run. For example, because two of our tests names contain <code>add</code>, we can
run those two by running <code>cargo test add</code>:</p>

<p>This command ran all tests with <code>add</code> in the name and filtered out the test
named <code>one_hundred</code>. Also note that the module in which a test appears becomes
part of the tests name, so we can run all the tests in a module by filtering
on the modules name.</p>

<h3 id="ignoring-tests-unless-specifically-requested"><a class="header" href="#ignoring-tests-unless-specifically-requested">Ignoring Tests Unless Specifically Requested</a></h3>
<p>Sometimes a few specific tests can be very time-consuming to execute, so you
might want to exclude them during most runs of <code>cargo test</code>. Rather than
listing as arguments all tests you do want to run, you can instead annotate the
time-consuming tests using the <code>ignore</code> attribute to exclude them, as shown
here:</p>
<p><span class="filename">Filename: src/lib.rs</span></p>
<pre><code class="language-rust noplayground"><span class="boring">pub fn add(left: u64, right: u64) -&gt; u64 {

fn it_works() {
let result = add(2, 2);
assert_eq!(result, 4);
}
#[test]
#[ignore]
fn expensive_test() {
// code that takes an hour to run
}
}</code></pre>
<p>After <code>#[test]</code>, we add the <code>#[ignore]</code> line to the test we want to exclude.
Now when we run our tests, <code>it_works</code> runs, but <code>expensive_test</code> doesnt:</p>

<p>By controlling which tests run, you can make sure your <code>cargo test</code> results
will be returned quickly. When youre at a point where it makes sense to check
the results of the <code>ignored</code> tests and you have time to wait for the results,
you can run <code>cargo test -- --ignored</code> instead. If you want to run all tests
whether theyre ignored or not, you can run <code>cargo test -- --include-ignored</code>.</p>
