<h1 id="suggest-tests-tool"><a class="header" href="#suggest-tests-tool">Suggest tests tool</a></h1>
<p>This chapter is about the internals of and contribution instructions for the
<code>suggest-tests</code> tool. For a high-level overview of the tool, see <a href="../building/suggested.html#x-suggest">this
section</a>. This tool is currently in a beta
state and is tracked by <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/109933">this</a>
issue on Github. Currently the number of tests it will suggest are very limited
in scope, we are looking to expand this (contributions welcome!).</p>
<h2 id="internals"><a class="header" href="#internals">Internals</a></h2>
<p>The tool is defined in a separate crate
(<a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/tools/suggest-tests"><code>src/tools/suggest-tests</code></a>)
which outputs suggestions which are parsed by a shim in bootstrap
(<a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/bootstrap/src/core/build_steps/suggest.rs"><code>src/bootstrap/src/core/build_steps/suggest.rs</code></a>).
The only notable thing the bootstrap shim does is (when invoked with the <code>--run</code>
flag) use bootstrap's internal mechanisms to create a new <code>Builder</code> and uses it
to invoke the suggested commands. The <code>suggest-tests</code> crate is where the fun
happens, two kinds of suggestions are defined: "static" and "dynamic"
suggestions.</p>
<h3 id="static-suggestions"><a class="header" href="#static-suggestions">Static suggestions</a></h3>
<p>Defined
<a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/tools/suggest-tests/src/static_suggestions.rs">here</a>.
Static suggestions are simple: they are just
<a href="https://crates.io/crates/glob">globs</a> which map to a <code>x</code> command. In
<code>suggest-tests</code>, this is implemented with a simple <code>macro_rules</code> macro.</p>
<h3 id="dynamic-suggestions"><a class="header" href="#dynamic-suggestions">Dynamic suggestions</a></h3>
<p>Defined
<a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/tools/suggest-tests/src/dynamic_suggestions.rs">here</a>.
These are more complicated than static suggestions and are implemented as
functions with the following signature: <code>fn(&amp;Path) -&gt; Vec&lt;Suggestion&gt;</code>. In other
words, each suggestion takes a path to a modified file and (after running
arbitrary Rust code) can return any number of suggestions, or none. Dynamic
suggestions are useful for situations where fine-grained control over
suggestions is needed. For example, modifications to the <code>compiler/xyz/</code> path
should trigger the <code>x test compiler/xyz</code> suggestion. In the future, dynamic
suggestions might even read file contents to determine if (what) tests should
run.</p>
<h2 id="adding-a-suggestion"><a class="header" href="#adding-a-suggestion">Adding a suggestion</a></h2>
<p>The following steps should serve as a rough guide to add suggestions to
<code>suggest-tests</code> (very welcome!):</p>
<ol>
<li>Determine the rules for your suggestion. Is it simple and operates only on a
single path or does it match globs? Does it need fine-grained control over
the resulting command or does "one size fit all"?</li>
<li>Based on the previous step, decide if your suggestion should be implemented
as either static or dynamic.</li>
<li>Implement the suggestion. If it is dynamic then a test is highly recommended,
to verify that your logic is correct and to give an example of the
suggestion. See the
<a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/tools/suggest-tests/src/tests.rs">tests.rs</a>
file.</li>
<li>Open a PR implementing your suggestion. <strong>(TODO: add example PR)</strong></li>
</ol>
