history

Project history and usage

cargo-all-features is a small Cargo subcommand suite for building, checking, and testing Rust crates across combinations of feature flags. It addresses a Rust-specific packaging problem: feature combinations can compile differently, and CI matrices often miss bad interactions.

Project history

The public repository was created in May 2020. Its README frames the tool around Cargo package and workspace commands that run subcommands across all feature flag combinations.

The project stayed intentionally narrow: it provides `cargo all-features` plus build, check, and test variants, with configuration kept in Cargo.toml under package metadata.

Adoption history

Adoption is niche but practical among Rust crate maintainers who use optional dependencies and feature-gated APIs. The supplied package-manager facts list Homebrew, Nix, and Arch Linux packages, showing that the tool became available beyond `cargo install`.

The README's rationale is CI maintenance: manually updating per-feature jobs is easy to forget, and testing only individual flags is not exhaustive.

How it is used

Users run commands such as `cargo all-features build`, `cargo all-features check`, or `cargo all-features test` at a package or workspace root. The tool then exercises feature flag combinations for the requested Cargo subcommand.

Configuration lives in Cargo.toml under `[package.metadata.cargo-all-features]`, where users can skip incompatible feature sets, include or deny selected features, cap combination size, and split work into chunks for CI.

Why package nerds care

cargo-all-features is package-nerd useful because Rust feature flags are part of package identity. A crate version is not just one build; it may expose many combinations that downstream packages rely on.

Its value is not broad fame but sharp ergonomics: it turns a maintenance-prone CI matrix into a Cargo-native check that package authors can run locally or in automation.

Timeline

  • 2020: cargo-all-features repository created on GitHub.
  • 2020: Git tags include an early 0.1.0 tag and later 1.x releases.
  • 2026: Repository metadata shows the project still available with Rust, Cargo, testing, and feature-flag topics.

Related projects

  • cargo-all-features is related to Cargo feature flags, Cargo workspaces, and Rust CI systems that need to test optional dependency combinations.
  • It is conceptually adjacent to cargo-hack, another Rust ecosystem tool often used for feature-combination checking, though this batch's official sources only document cargo-all-features itself.
