The Rust Cargo Buildpack is a Cloud Native Buildpack that builds Rust applications using Cargo.
This buildpack is designed to work in collaboration with the Rust Dist CNB or Rustup CNB buildpacks which provide the actual Rust and Cargo binaries used by this buildpack.
If all of these conditions are met:
<APPLICATION_ROOT>/Cargo.toml
exists<APPLICATION_ROOT>/Cargo.lock
exists
The buildpack will do the following:
- Requests that Rust and Cargo be installed
- Uses
CARGO_HOME
to locate Cargo & tools - Symlinks
<APPLICATION_ROOT/target>
to a cache layer, so that build artifacts are cached - Reads workspace members out of
Cargo.toml
- For each workspace member, it executes
cargo install
to build and install binaries. Binaries are installed to a layer marked withcache
- All source code is removed from
/workspace
- The application binary is copied from the
cache
layer to/workspace
- Cleans
CARGO_HOME
as described in the Cargo book
Environment Variable | Description |
---|---|
$BP_CARGO_INSTALL_ARGS |
Additional arguments for cargo install . By default, the buildpack will run cargo install --color=never --root=<destination layer> --path=<path-to-member> for each workspace member. See more details below. |
$BP_CARGO_WORKSPACE_MEMBERS |
A comma delimited list of the workspace package names (this is the package name in the member's Cargo.toml , not what is in the workspace's Cargo.toml 's member list) to install. If the project is not using workspaces, this is not used. By default, for projects with a workspace, the buildpack will build all members in a workspace. See more details below. |
$BP_CARGO_EXCLUDE_FOLDERS |
A comma delimited list of the top-level folders that should not be deleted, which means they will persist through to the generated image. This only applies to top level folders. You only need the folder name, not a full path. |
Additional arguments for cargo install
. Any additional arguments specified, are specified for each invocation of cargo install
. The buildpack will execute cargo install
once for each workspace member. If you're not using a workspace, then it executes a single time.
A few examples of what you can specify:
--path=./todo
to build a single member in a folder called./todo
if you have a non-traditional folder structure--bins
to build all binaries in your project--bin=foo
to specifically build the foo binary when multiple binaries are present-v
to get more verbose output fromcargo install
--frozen
or--locked
or customizing how Cargo will use the Cargo.lock file--offline
for preventing Cargo from trying to access the Internet- or any other valid arguments that can be passed to
cargo install
You may not set --color
and you may not set --root
. These are fixed by the buildpack in order to make output look correct and to ensure that binaries are installed into the proper location.
This option may be used in conjunction with BP_CARGO_INSTALL_ARGS
, however you may not set --path
in BP_CARGO_INSTALL_ARGS
when also setting BP_CARGO_WORKSPACE_MEMBERS
, as the buildpack will control --path
when building workspace members.
In summary:
- Use
BP_CARGO_INSTALL_ARGS
and--path
to build one specific member of a workspace. - Use
BP_CARGO_INSTALL_ARGS
to specify non---path
arguments tocargo install
- Use
BP_CARGO_WORKSPACE_MEMBERS
to specify one or more workspace members to build (usingBP_CARGO_WORKSPACE_MEMBERS
with only one member has identical behavior toBP_CARGO_INSTALL_ARGS
and--path
) - Don't set either
BP_CARGO_INSTALL_ARGS
and--path
, orBP_CARGO_WORKSPACE_MEMBERS
and the buildpack will iterate through and build all of the members in workspace.
In general, you probably want the rust CNB instead.
If you want to use this particular CNB directly, the easiest way is via image. Run pack build -b paketo-community/cargo:<version> ...
.
