Cargo / No Fail Fast

No Fail Fast

Executes benchmarks without halting on failures to ensure all metrics are recorded.

$
Terminal
cargo bench --no-fail-fast

When To Use

When evaluating multiple benchmarks where some are expected to fail without affecting overall results.

Pro Tip

Use with detailed logs to diagnose issues while preserving data from all benchmarks.

Output
Running benchmark 1: benchmark_name_1

     Result: 38.1 ops/s

     Finished benchmarks with no failures.

Anatomy of Output

Understanding the result

Running benchmarks with no-fail-fast option enabled Execution Mode

Identifies the mode in which benchmarks are executed.

Benchmark 'bench_3' failed to execute Failure Notification

Informs about which specific benchmark encountered an error.

Metrics collected: 9 successful, 1 failed Execution Summary

Detailed metrics excluding failed benchmarks.

Power User Variants

Optimized versions

cargo bench --no-fail-fast --verbose

Gives detailed output while still ignoring failures.

cargo bench --no-fail-fast --release

Runs benchmarks with optimizations while ignoring failures.

Troubleshooting

Common pitfalls

Benchmark 'bench_3' ran out of bounds

Solution: Check benchmark configurations; ensure inputs are within expected ranges.

Error: Missing required dependencies for benchmarking

Solution: Install all necessary dependencies and re-run the benchmarks.

Benchmark execution interrupted unexpectedly

Solution: Review system logs for potential causes of interruptions.
