Passing extra flags to nextest

[glehmann]

Is it possible to pass some extra flags to nextest? I'd like to pass --status-level fail to only display the failed tests, but can't find how to do that.

does cargo insta test -- --status-level fail answer this?

[glehmann]

Unfortunately no. I think the extra arguments are passed to the test binary, not to nextest.

[max-sixty]

but isn't nextest the test binary? (can look more when at comp)

[glehmann]

The chain (as I understand it) is cargo -> cargo-insta -> cargo-nextest -> test binary.

I think that, when cargo-insta passes the extra options to cargo-nextest, it does it after a -- token, which makes cargo-nextest pass the option directly to the test binary, while I'd like it to parse it as an option.

For now I'm using an environment variable as a workaround: env NEXTEST_STATUS_LEVEL=fail cargo insta test --test-runner nextest

[max-sixty]

you're correct!
