NAME

cargo-locate-project - Print a JSON representation of a Cargo.toml file's location

SYNOPSIS

cargo locate-project [options]

DESCRIPTION

This command will print a JSON object to stdout with the full path to the Cargo.toml manifest.

OPTIONS

--workspace
Locate the Cargo.toml at the root of the workspace, as opposed to the current workspace member.

Display Options

--message-format fmt
The representation in which to print the project location. Valid values:

  • json (default): JSON object with the path under the key "root".
  • plain: Just the path.
-v
--verbose
Use verbose output. May be specified twice for "very verbose" output which includes extra output such as dependency warnings and build script output. May also be specified with the term.verbose config value.
-q
--quiet
Do not print cargo log messages. May also be specified with the term.quiet config value.
--color when
Control when colored output is used. Valid values:

  • always: Always display colors.
  • never: Never display colors.

Manifest Options

--manifest-path path
Path to the Cargo.toml file. By default, Cargo searches for the Cargo.toml file in the current directory or any parent directory.

Common Options

+toolchain
If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to cargo begins with +, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such as +stable or +nightly). See the rustup documentation for more information about how toolchain overrides work.
--config KEY=VALUE or PATH
Overrides a Cargo configuration value. The argument should be in TOML syntax of KEY=VALUE, or provided as a path to an extra configuration file. This flag may be specified multiple times. See the command-line overrides section for more information.
-h
--help
Prints help information.
-Z flag
Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for details.

ENVIRONMENT

See the reference for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.

EXIT STATUS

  • 0: Cargo succeeded.
  • 101: Cargo failed to complete.
