Actually after more digging it seems that unit testing libraries in D doesn't work.

It seems pretty bad that in 2012 with unit testing a huge part of the software development process and D describing itself as a language with unit testing built in, this bug report / feature request hasn't been addressed:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4669

Is there any update on the status of this enhancement? Is there a recommended workaround to unit test a D library?

Cheers,

Chris

Hey all,

I'm sure that this is a rather daft question but I've tried to search the d.learn mailing list and must have missed a question about it.

I've read the unit testing documentation on dlang.org and I know that `unittest { /* some code */ }` blocks are compiled into the executable and executed after static initialization and before the main() function is called. This makes sense in an application but how does this apply to a library?

For example, writing a D library using DMD's `-lib` compiler flag, how do I run the unit tests in the generated library?

Cheers,

Chris
