`bacon test` doesn't recognize `--features` about bacon HOT 4 CLOSED

What bacon does when you call it with --features is basically adding the argument at the end of the job command arguments.

Here's the default definition of the test job:

[jobs.test]
command = [
    "cargo", "test", "--color", "always",
    "--", "--color", "always", # see https://github.com/Canop/bacon/issues/124
]

The -- prevents the --features from being given to the the cargo test command.

A workaround is to just edit your bacon.toml file to remove the second line of this command, like this:

[jobs.test]
command = [
    "cargo", "test", "--color", "always",
]

I should probably detect in bacon when there's a -- and insert the --features arguments before.

Should be fixed now

Thanks for the advice, it worked ;)

I see that the second line came from #124, cargo # 1983 being the main obstacle for a more elegant solution.

In a general sense, adding -- to job commands, especially to default ones, feels like a bad choice: you don't know when that's needed, and "fixing" this one occasion means a full blown config file (speaking of that, maybe consider merging config with defaults rather than replacing?). If such arguments is absolutely necessary, maybe introduce a new field? Something like passthru_args (since they are "passed through to" artifacts).

Edit: after second thought, passthru_args doesn't work because if it exists a -- will be added by bacon, conflicting with user supplied -- on command line. There still needs to be a detecting mechanism.
