cargo-build: Build only the specified test target.
$ cargo build --test ${testname}
try on your machine

The command "cargo build --test ${testname}" is used in the Rust programming language with the Cargo package manager. Here is an explanation of the individual components:

  1. "cargo" is the command-line tool for managing Rust projects and dependencies.
  2. "build" is a subcommand that instructs Cargo to build the project.
  3. "--test" flag specifies that the build is for running tests instead of building the main application. Rust has a built-in unit testing framework where tests can be written within the code.
  4. "${testname}" is a placeholder for the name of the specific test or the test target. It should be replaced with the actual name of the test you want to run.

Overall, this command builds and compiles the Rust project with Cargo, specifically targeting and running the specified test.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
