cargo-test: Run tests for a package.
$ cargo test --package ${package}
try on your machine

This command is used for testing Rust projects using the Cargo build system. Here is a breakdown of the components of this command:

  1. cargo: It is the command-line tool for managing Rust projects and dependencies.
  2. test: It is a subcommand in Cargo used to run the tests defined in a Rust project.
  3. --package ${package}: It is an optional flag used to specify the package or crate to test. The ${package} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the name of the package or crate you want to test. If this flag is not provided, Cargo will run tests for all packages in the workspace.

In summary, the cargo test --package ${package} command is used to execute the tests defined in a specific Rust package or crate using the Cargo build system.

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.
