Is there a way to use certain features only for dev-dependencies builds?
I'm looking to do something like this:
[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1" }
[dev-dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["macros"] }
If I recall correctly this doesn't actually work as one might expect; doesn't it use the union of all features from all sections?
Also, I'm unhappy about specifying the version twice.
Is there some way to specify different features for dependencies and dev-dependencies?
A while back I saw someone mention that how features are specified is being reworked. Is that still happening, and is there a good place to track this (and provide input)?
That will still use the union of all features across dependencies and dev-dependencies within your project.
The new feature resolver is being stabilized though, which will allow different feature sets between dependencies and dev-dependencies. See the stabilization PR
