Command line option to print full file paths · Issue #5450 · rust-lang/cargo (original) (raw)

Sometimes it would be good to have full paths printed for filenames when building with Cargo. A typical example would be when building a large tree of code from an editor/IDE and when file paths only gets printed as src/filename.rs it makes it hard for the IDE to find it.

Cargo currently prints full names under certain conditions but there is no way to makes sure that always happen. Adding a command like option like --full-filename-paths or something better would allow editors/IDEs to easier navigate to compile errors/warnings etc.
