Cargo subcommand to easily run targets/examples/tests

Fuzzy match against targets, examples or tests in current rust project.

cargo-select 0.2.0

Fuzzy-match targets/examples

USAGE:
    cargo select [OPTIONS] [ARGS]

ARGS:
    <CARGO_COMMAND>    Cargo command to run with selected target (e.g. "run").
    <PATTERN>          Pattern to fuzzy-match targets with. Omit for interactive mode.
    <CARGO_ARGS>...    Additional arguments to pass to cargo.

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help       Print help information
        --no-skip    Run all tests that match selected test (i.e. dont skip names that are
                     supersets)(tests only)
    -V, --version    Print version information

cargo select run is special-cased to cargo run with --package NAME or --example NAME.

cargo select test is special-cased to match against test names (deduced from source files) and run them with cargo test.
Alternatives:

• You could just do cargo test NAME, but it doesn't let you find tests by name and doesnt work well with workspaces
• You could do a command similar to cargo test -- --list | fzf | sed "s/: .*//" | xargs cargo test -- --exact, but it requires compiling the tests which can take a lot of time and disk space on some projects (especially ones with a few workspaces). And it still has some limitations.

Installation

From crates.io

cargo install cargo-select

From source

cargo-select's Issues

Add test selection

I wish we could fuzzy-select a test to run. I don't know if it's feasible, because the only way (or at least the only way that I know about) to get the list of tests is to run cargo test -- --list which compiles the whole project, which is not optimal.
If you have any ideas or want to try to tackle this, feel free to tell me.
(We could parse every .rs file looking for #[test]s, but I want to believe that there is a better way)

Fix `carg_args`

cargo_args argument is supposed to be working just like cargo does with arguments after --, but I haven't managed to achieve that with clap's derives. Maybe I missed something or maybe we need to use builder api instead.
