Ability to configure cargo run configuration

I'm developing a program that is required to pass command line options and set environment variables. I'd like to have the ability to config cargo run so it sets the correct environment since running the program otherwise does not make sense and some error will be reported.

Would it be possible to add the abitility to configure cargo run?

One option is to specify a runner. If you are on a unix-like platform, you can use env, like CARGO_TARGET_X86_64_APPLE_DARWIN_RUNNER="env FOO=hello" (config variables can be specified in a file or an environment variable). Or you can use a shell script to execute your process that sets up the environment. I acknowledge that isn't very elegant. Another option is to use cargo aliases which run a wrapper that does whatever you want. These can be written in bash, or Rust, or whatever. One example is cargo-xtask. Another option is to use some build system on top of cargo. It can be something like a shell script, or make, or whatever.
