Crater is a tool to run experiments across parts of the Rust ecosystem. Its primary purpose is to detect regressions in the Rust compiler, and it does this by building a large number of crates, running their test suites and comparing the results between two versions of the Rust compiler.
It can operate locally (with Docker as the only dependency) or distributed on the cloud. It only works on Linux at the moment, and it's licensed under both the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses.
The current features of Crater are:
cargo build
and cargo test
over all the discovered codebasesCrater is a successor to taskcluster-crater. It was subsequently named cargobomb before resuming the Crater name.
:warning: DO NOT RUN CRATER IN AN UNSANDBOXED ENVIRONMENT :warning:
Crater executes malicious code that will destroy what you love.
