cargo-mutants 23.12.0
An exciting step forward: cargo-mutants can now generate mutations smaller than a whole function. To start with, several binary operators are mutated.
Also, --in-diff
will no longer error out if no mutants are generated in the diff, making it much more reasonable for a CI check.
-
New: Mutate
==
to!=
and vice versa. -
New: Mutate
&&
to||
and vice versa, and mutate both of them to==
and!=
. -
New: Mutate
<
,<=
,>
,>=
. -
Changed: If no mutants are generated then
cargo mutants
now exits successfully, showing a warning. (Previously it would exit with an error.) This works better with--in-diff
in CI, where it's normal that some changes may not have any mutants. -
Changed: Include column numbers in text listings of mutants and output to disambiguate smaller-than-function mutants, for example if there are several operators that can be changed on one line. This also applies to the names used for regex matching, so may break some regexps that match the entire line (sorry). The new option
--line-col=false
turns them both off in--list
output. -
Changed: In the mutants.json format, replaced the
function
,line
, andreturn_type
fields with afunction
submessage (including the name and return type) and aspan
indicating the entire replaced region, to better handle smaller-than-function mutants. Also, thefunction
includes the line-column span of the entire function.
