Escargot: A Cargo API

Features

Features:

• print for logged output to be printed instead, generally for test writing.

Why escargot

Compared to depending on cargo:

• Faster compile times.
• Simpler API.
• Better interop with projects relying on other cargo versions.
• Probably slower execution, especially on platforms without an optimized fork (e.g. Windows).

Relevant crates

Other related crates:

• cargo for the real thing
• cargo-metadata for a similar project specifically geared to the metadata subcommand.

Example

extern crate escargot;
extern crate assert_fs;

let temp = assert_fs::TempDir::new().unwrap();
escargot::CargoBuild::new()
    .bin("bin")
    .current_release()
    .current_target()
    .manifest_path("tests/fixtures/bin/Cargo.toml")
    .target_dir(temp.path())
    .exec()
    .unwrap();
