How to define test-only dependencies?
Yes. Use dev-dependencies
. From the Cargo docs:
You can add a
[dev-dependencies]
section to yourCargo.toml
whose format is equivalent to[dependencies]
:[dev-dependencies] tempdir = "0.3"
Dev-dependencies are not used when compiling a package for building, but are used for compiling tests, examples, and benchmarks.
When possible, you should also use Cargo's resolver version 2 to better handle complicated dev-dependency cases.
