Details

The mach cargo check command should be generalized so that any cargo command can be run on any crate. The setting of MOZ_TOPOBJDIR is a key part of it.

It would also be good to have a rough idea of any cases for which it doesn't work. E.g. servo/components/style seems to have problems. And some cargo commands might have problems.

The "Using Cargo" section in docs/writing-rust-code/basics.md should be updated as part of this.

abeingessner: this may be of interest to you? Shouldn't be too hard, just a bit of Python hacking, I think.

Summary: Generalize `mach cargo check` to run any cargo command → Create `mach cargo` to run any cargo command

I've been peering through the mach cargo check code a bit, and this seems straightforward enough. I'll see what breaks when I try.

Was a bit messier than I thought, and ended up eternally in my backlog, so dropping for now.

I think the aim of this bug was implemented by bug 1810126.
