cargo-clippy: Require that `Cargo.lock` is up to date.
$ cargo clippy --locked
try on your machine
The command cargo clippy --locked
is used to run the Clippy linter for your Rust code using the locked dependency versions specified in the Cargo.lock
file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
cargo
: It is the package manager and build tool for Rust projects.clippy
: It is a popular linting tool for Rust that helps you identify potential issues, bad practices, and stylistic problems in your code.--locked
: This flag instructs Cargo to use the locked dependency versions specified in theCargo.lock
file. Whencargo build
orcargo update
is run, Cargo generates aCargo.lock
file that records the specific versions of dependencies that were used during the last successful build. By using--locked
incargo clippy
, you ensure that Clippy will analyze your code with the exact same dependency versions as before, maintaining consistency.
By using cargo clippy --locked
, you can have consistent linting results and avoid unexpected issues that may arise due to changes in dependency versions.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
