Rust

Prerequisites

You have a working Rust project.
(Optional) The project has unit tests.
If you want to build and publish a Cargo package to Space Packages, make sure that:
- The corresponding Space project has a sparse Cargo registry.
- The .cargo/config.toml file contains registry configuration. For example:
  [registries.space-registry] index = "sparse+https://cargo.registry.jetbrains.space/mycompany/p/projectkey/myCrates" credential-provider="cargo:token"

Eligible images

Any image with Rust 1.74 from nightly toolchain. If you don't need package publishing, you can use official Rust images with earlier Rust versions.

Build, run tests, and publish in a Rust project

Currently, Automation does not provide any API for working with Rust. So, the only way to build, test, and publish Rust projects is to use the cargo command-line tool in shell scripts.

The content of .space.kts might look like follows:

job("Build, run tests, and publish") {
    container(displayName = "Run script", image = "rustlang/rust:nightly") {
        shellScript {
            content = """
                set -e
                # Build the Rust project
                cargo build --verbose
                # Run tests
                cargo test --verbose
                # Publish to sparse Cargo registry
                cargo login --registry=space-registry "Bearer ${'$'}JB_SPACE_CLIENT_TOKEN"
                cargo publish --verbose --registry=space-registry
            """
        }
    }
}

Here JB_SPACE_CLIENT_TOKEN is the environment variable that stores an authorization token. The token lets the Space Automation service to authorize in Space Packages.
