Lint & Format

rx wraps clippy and rustfmt into unified rx lint and rx fmt commands with configurable severity and a combined rx fix that applies all auto-fixes in one step.

Linting

rx lint                          # lint with clippy
rx lint --release                # lint in release mode

Severity configuration

Control how clippy warnings are treated:

[lint]
severity = "deny"     # treat all warnings as errors (default)
severity = "warn"     # show warnings but don't fail
severity = "allow"    # suppress warnings entirely

Extra lints

Add additional clippy lint groups or specific lints:

[lint]
extra_lints = ["clippy::pedantic", "clippy::nursery"]

These are passed as additional -W flags to clippy.

Formatting

rx fmt                           # format all code
rx fmt --check                   # check formatting without modifying files

Extra arguments

Pass additional arguments to rustfmt:

[fmt]
extra_args = ["--edition", "2021"]

Auto-fix everything

rx fix combines all auto-fix capabilities in a single command:

rx fix

This runs, in order:

1. Compiler suggestions – applies rustc fix suggestions
2. Clippy fixes – applies clippy auto-fix suggestions
3. Formatting – runs rustfmt on all files

After running rx fix, your code should be free of all auto-fixable issues.

CI pipeline

rx ci runs the full quality pipeline in order:

rx ci

This executes:

1. rx fmt --check – verify formatting
2. rx lint – run clippy
3. rx test – run tests
4. rx build – verify build succeeds

Use rx ci locally before pushing to catch issues before CI runs.

Profile overrides

Override lint severity per profile:

[lint]
severity = "warn"           # relaxed defaults for local dev

[profile.ci]
lint = { severity = "deny" } # strict in CI

rx --profile ci lint         # fails on any warning
