# cargo-fix(1)


## NAME

cargo-fix - Automatically fix lint warnings reported by rustc

## SYNOPSIS

`cargo fix` [_options_]

## DESCRIPTION

This Cargo subcommand will automatically take rustc's suggestions from
diagnostics like warnings and apply them to your source code. This is intended
to help automate tasks that rustc itself already knows how to tell you to fix!

Executing `cargo fix` will under the hood execute [cargo-check(1)](cargo-check.html). Any warnings
applicable to your crate will be automatically fixed (if possible) and all
remaining warnings will be displayed when the check process is finished. For
example if you'd like to apply all fixes to the current package, you can run:

    cargo fix

which behaves the same as `cargo check --all-targets`.

`cargo fix` is only capable of fixing code that is normally compiled with
`cargo check`. If code is conditionally enabled with optional features, you
will need to enable those features for that code to be analyzed:

    cargo fix --features foo

Similarly, other `cfg` expressions like platform-specific code will need to
pass `--target` to fix code for the given target.

    cargo fix --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

If you encounter any problems with `cargo fix` or otherwise have any questions
or feature requests please don't hesitate to file an issue at
<https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo>.

### Edition migration

The `cargo fix` subcommand can also be used to migrate a package from one
[edition] to the next. The general procedure is:

1. Run `cargo fix --edition`. Consider also using the `--all-features` flag if
   your project has multiple features. You may also want to run `cargo fix
   --edition` multiple times with different `--target` flags if your project
   has platform-specific code gated by `cfg` attributes.
2. Modify `Cargo.toml` to set the [edition field] to the new edition.
3. Run your project tests to verify that everything still works. If new
   warnings are issued, you may want to consider running `cargo fix` again
   (without the `--edition` flag) to apply any suggestions given by the
   compiler.

And hopefully that's it! Just keep in mind of the caveats mentioned above that
`cargo fix` cannot update code for inactive features or `cfg` expressions.
Also, in some rare cases the compiler is unable to automatically migrate all
code to the new edition, and this may require manual changes after building
with the new edition.

## OPTIONS

### Fix options

<dl>

<dt class="option-term" id="option-cargo-fix---broken-code"><a class="option-anchor" href="#option-cargo-fix---broken-code"></a><code>--broken-code</code></dt>
<dd class="option-desc">Fix code even if it already has compiler errors. This is useful if <code>cargo fix</code>
fails to apply the changes. It will apply the changes and leave the broken
code in the working directory for you to inspect and manually fix.</dd>


<dt class="option-term" id="option-cargo-fix---edition"><a class="option-anchor" href="#option-cargo-fix---edition"></a><code>--edition</code></dt>
<dd class="option-desc">Apply changes that will update the code to the next edition. This will not
update the edition in the <code>Cargo.toml</code> manifest, which must be updated
manually after <code>cargo fix --edition</code> has finished.</dd>


<dt class="option-term" id="option-cargo-fix---edition-idioms"><a class="option-anchor" href="#option-cargo-fix---edition-idioms"></a><code>--edition-idioms</code></dt>
<dd class="option-desc">Apply suggestions that will update code to the preferred style for the current

<dd class="option-desc">Fix code even if the working directory has staged changes.</dd>


</dl>

### Package Selection

By default, when no package selection options are given, the packages selected
depend on the selected manifest file (based on the current working directory if
`--manifest-path` is not given). If the manifest is the root of a workspace then
the workspaces default members are selected, otherwise only the package defined
by the manifest will be selected.

The default members of a workspace can be set explicitly with the
`workspace.default-members` key in the root manifest. If this is not set, a
virtual workspace will include all workspace members (equivalent to passing
`--workspace`), and a non-virtual workspace will include only the root crate itself.

<dl>

<dd class="option-desc">Fix only the specified packages. See <a href="cargo-pkgid.html">cargo-pkgid(1)</a> for the
SPEC format. This flag may be specified multiple times and supports common Unix
glob patterns like <code>*</code>, <code>?</code> and <code>[]</code>. However, to avoid your shell accidentally 
expanding glob patterns before Cargo handles them, you must use single quotes or
double quotes around each pattern.</dd>


<dt class="option-term" id="option-cargo-fix---workspace"><a class="option-anchor" href="#option-cargo-fix---workspace"></a><code>--workspace</code></dt>
<dd class="option-desc">Fix all members in the workspace.</dd>

<dd class="option-desc">Exclude the specified packages. Must be used in conjunction with the
<code>--workspace</code> flag. This flag may be specified multiple times and supports
common Unix glob patterns like <code>*</code>, <code>?</code> and <code>[]</code>. However, to avoid your shell
accidentally expanding glob patterns before Cargo handles them, you must use
single quotes or double quotes around each pattern.</dd>


</dl>


### Target Selection

When no target selection options are given, `cargo fix` will fix all targets
(`--all-targets` implied). Binaries are skipped if they have
`required-features` that are missing.

Passing target selection flags will fix only the specified
targets. 

Note that `--bin`, `--example`, `--test` and `--bench` flags also 
support common Unix glob patterns like `*`, `?` and `[]`. However, to avoid your 
shell accidentally expanding glob patterns before Cargo handles them, you must 
use single quotes or double quotes around each glob pattern.

<dd class="option-desc">Fix all targets in test mode that have the <code>test = true</code> manifest
flag set. By default this includes the library and binaries built as
unittests, and integration tests. Be aware that this will also build any
required dependencies, so the lib target may be built twice (once as a
unittest, and once as a dependency for binaries, integration tests, etc.).
Targets may be enabled or disabled by setting the <code>test</code> flag in the
manifest settings for the target.</dd>

manifest flag set. By default this includes the library and binaries built
as benchmarks, and bench targets. Be aware that this will also build any
required dependencies, so the lib target may be built twice (once as a
benchmark, and once as a dependency for binaries, benchmarks, etc.).
Targets may be enabled or disabled by setting the <code>bench</code> flag in the
manifest settings for the target.</dd>

### Feature Selection

The feature flags allow you to control which features are enabled. When no
feature options are given, the `default` feature is activated for every
selected package.

<code>&lt;arch&gt;&lt;sub&gt;-&lt;vendor&gt;-&lt;sys&gt;-&lt;abi&gt;</code>. Run <code>rustc --print target-list</code> for a
list of supported targets.</p>
<p>This may also be specified with the <code>build.target</code>
<a href="../reference/config.html">config value</a>.</p>
<p>Note that specifying this flag makes Cargo run in a different mode where the

<dd class="option-desc">Either of these flags requires that the <code>Cargo.lock</code> file is
up-to-date. If the lock file is missing, or it needs to be updated, Cargo will
exit with an error. The <code>--frozen</code> flag also prevents Cargo from
attempting to access the network to determine if it is out-of-date.</p>
<p>These may be used in environments where you want to assert that the
<code>Cargo.lock</code> file is up-to-date (such as a CI build) or want to avoid network
access.</dd>


<dt class="option-term" id="option-cargo-fix---offline"><a class="option-anchor" href="#option-cargo-fix---offline"></a><code>--offline</code></dt>

flag, Cargo will stop with an error if it needs to access the network and
the network is not available. With this flag, Cargo will attempt to
proceed without the network if possible.</p>
<p>Beware that this may result in different dependency resolution than online
mode. Cargo will restrict itself to crates that are downloaded locally, even
if there might be a newer version as indicated in the local copy of the index.
See the <a href="cargo-fetch.html">cargo-fetch(1)</a> command to download dependencies before going
