Test multiple tests with no common filter

Question

I have a test named builtin_functions and design_variables how can I run only these two tests and nothing else.

I have naively tried cargo test builtin_functions,design_variables and cargo test builtin_functions design_variables but neither work.

What can I do?

`cargo test builtin_functions; cargo test design_variables`? — mkrieger1, Mar 22 '22 at 22:44
Better `cargo test builtin_functions && cargo test design_variables`. — Chayim Friedman, Mar 22 '22 at 22:49
@ChayimFriedman Bitwise commands don't work on command line. please test code before you post — Esdeseserdt, Mar 22 '22 at 22:52
It's not bitwise. It's and. See e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4510640/what-is-the-purpose-of-in-a-shell-command — Chayim Friedman, Mar 22 '22 at 22:58
@ChayimFriedman My bad. But unfortunately command line `and` isn't implemented in rust, as far as I can tell — Esdeseserdt, Mar 22 '22 at 23:00
Aye, didn't catch that the second test was a new command, I assumed it was the same statement — Esdeseserdt, Mar 22 '22 at 23:03

Unfortunately, there are only two ways of getting the behavior you specified, neither of them great. You could type

cargo test builtin_functions && cargo test design_variables

,effectively calling the function twice or you could add an apparently arbitrary prefix that only these two tests would have before you run them, such as

fn foo_builtin_functions {
   /*...*/
}
fn foo_design_variables() {
    /*...*/
}

and them simply call

cargo test foo

Which would run all tests that contain foo in their name calling both both tests synchronously, as is the default behavior, but obviously requires more forethought.
