Last updated on Sep 6, 2026 You can distribute builds in RustRover to accelerate them using Incredibuild. The Incredibuild RustRover plugin adds an Incredibuild menu to RustRover with the following options:
  • Build: Runs an incremental Cargo build through Incredibuild. It uses the same cargo command the IDE’s own Build Project would run (so the selected run configuration, build profile, and targets are respected).
  • Rebuild: Runs cargo clean on the workspace first, then builds through Incredibuild (same cargo command as above after the clean).
  • Stop Build: Cancels the Incredibuild build or clean that is currently running.
You can also enable the Incredibuild integration into the native RustRover Build/Test/Run actions. Use Incredibuild’s Build Monitor to watch and analyze (in a graphical timeline) what happens during an Incredibuild build.
