Cargo likes to modify PATH, which circumvents the ability to choose the
correct "cargo" executable to run on Windows (because Windows uses PATH
for both binary and shared library searching).
This adds some tests to ensure that the database used in the global
cache tracker stays compatible across versions. These tests work by
using rustup to run both the current cargo and the stable cargo, and
verifying that when switching versions, everything works as expected.
This fixes an issue where `--quiet` doesn't work with commands that have
subcommands. This is because `config_configure` only looks at the global
and top-level subcommand, and not deeper subcommands. The issue was that
`--quiet` was not defined as a global flag. This was changed in
https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/6358 in order to give a better
help message for `cargo test --quiet`. I don't remember if clap just
didn't support overriding at the time, or if we just didn't know how it
worked. Anyways, it seems to work to override it now, so I think it
should be fine to mark it as global.
This should bring in `--quiet` more in-line with how `--verbose` works.
This means that `--quiet` is now accepted with `cargo report`,
`cargo help`, and `cargo config`.
This also fixes `--quiet` with `cargo clean gc`.
This should also help with supporting `--quiet` with the new `cargo
owner` subcommands being added in
https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11879.
Fixes#12957
This was requested to separate the interaction of `cargo clean` and the
cleaning of global cache data, and to minimize the impact of this
initial implementation.
This adds a garbage collector which will remove old files from cargo's
global cache.
A general overview of the changes here:
- `cargo::core::global_cache_tracker` contains the `GlobalCacheTracker`
which handles the interface to a sqlite database which stores
timestamps of the last time a file was used.
- `DeferredGlobalLastUse` is a type that implements an optimization for
collecting last-use timestamps so that they can be flushed to disk all
at once.
- `cargo::core::gc` contains the `Gc` type which is the interface for
performing garbage collection. It coordinates with the
`GlobalCacheTracker` for determining what to delete.
- Garbage collection can either be automatic or manual. The automatic
garbage collection supports some config options for defining when
it runs and how much it deletes.
- Manual garbage collection can be performed via options to `cargo
clean`.
- `cargo clean` uses the new package cache locking system to coordinate
access to the package cache to prevent interference with other cargo
commands running concurrently.
