Description
I used to have a function in my shell that shows when the current directory is running on a multirust toolchain other than stable. The current formatting is making the port to rustup.rs difficult. An option to generate machine-readable output (preferably JSON) on relevant commands like rustup show
and rustup override list
would be great.

Yes indeed. Sorry for breaking your stuff, but I did make the decision to cater to human-reading first.
Since this is mostly for shell scripts I'd guess it's best to do something simple and line-oriented. The default 'smart' behavior of
show
where it decides how much to show or not would be bad.Perhaps a scheme like
rustup show active-toolchain --machine-readable
rustup show active-toolchain-version --machine-readable
rustup toolchain list --machine-readable

It would be useful in IntelliJ Rust as well, though I would also prefer simple text format.

This looks like it could be useful for Neon too -- +1 to shell script-friendliness. For the time being I may end up parsing the output of
rustc --version
orrustup toolchain list
, but a stable machine-readable output would be awesome!alexreg commentedon May 4, 2017
Any progress on this?
Add subcommands to "rustup show" for active-toolchain and it's version
