Description

(Note: this has been edited by the rustup team)

1.24.0 shipped with the ability to run cargo fmt, untested.

1.24.1 will not have that defect.
We need to test to make sure that:

  • rustup correctly proxies to all of its core tools rather than the subset currently checked.
  • rustup correctly proxies to its DUP_TOOLS list.

Research direction

Locate the existing proxying tests and the definitions or usages of TOOLS and DUP_TOOLS. Extend the test coverage to include every core tool and every tool in DUP_TOOLS, then run the relevant rustup test suite and verify that each command is proxied correctly.
