cargo-run-selectable

A simple Rust utility that helps developers run cargo run in workspaces with multiple binary targets without needing to specify one beforehand. When you run the program, it will prompt you to select a target from the list of available binary targets in the workspace.

Features

• Very lightweight
• Seamless integration with Cargo workflows.
• Works out of the box

Windows Incompatibility

Important: This utility is currently incompatible with Windows due to the lack of support for the process::CommandExt trait's exec method on the Windows platform. The exec method is crucial for replacing the current process with a new one, which is not natively supported in Windows. For more details on this limitation, you can refer to this explanation.

As a result, this utility is best suited for Unix-like operating systems such as Linux and macOS.

Installation

You can install this utility directly from crates.io using cargo or binstall.

Using cargo install:

cargo install cargo-run-selectable

Using cargo binstall:

cargo binstall cargo-run-selectable

Cloning from repository:

git clone https://github.com/maciejlewandowskii/cargo-run-selectable
