- Initial test run: `./x.py test -i --stage 1 src/test/ui` - Initial test run: `./x.py test -i --stage 1 src/test/ui`
- Subsequent test run: `./x.py test -i --stage 1 src/test/ui --keep-stage 1` - Subsequent test run: `./x.py test -i --stage 1 src/test/ui --keep-stage 1`
## Fine-tuning optimizations
Setting `optimize = false` makes the compiler too slow for tests. However, to
improve the test cycle, you can disable optimizations selectively only for the
crates you'll have to rebuild
([source](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/incremental.20compilation.20question/near/202712165)).
For example, when working on `rustc_mir_build`, the `rustc_mir_build` and
`rustc_driver` crates take the most time to incrementally rebuild. You could
therefore set the following in the root `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[profile.release.package.rustc_mir_build]
opt-level = 0
[profile.release.package.rustc_driver]
opt-level = 0
```
