Hi, I am experienced in C++ but still a relative D newbie...
I am building a static lib containing a bunch of functions that I often re-use. I will use these in other exe/dll projects by linking to the lib [and specifying the necessary Import paths..]. Everything is working ok when I test the concept, but the problem is I cannot get any unit-tests to run in the lib [even though the compiler "-unittest" option is passed to DMD compiler and it compiles fine]. I guess the problem is the lib does not have a main(..) function and is not meant to run as "a standalone". I've therefore created a separate Console application [and linked to the debug version of the lib], in an attempt to trigger the unit-tests in the lib - but to no avail. I can of course do the actual unit-tests inside this Console test application, but that kinda defeats the purpose of keeping the unit-tests with the actual code! I would really prefer to keep the unit-tests in the modules of the lib, and not the test-app module. I have even - in desperation [did not really think it would work] - tried to pass "--main" as an argument to the compiler [described by Andrei in "The D Programming Language" in $5.1 on p133], in the hope that I can fool the compiler to create a exe, rather than a lib for the debug version of the lib. But DMD2.047 does seem to like this compiler switch! How does one get unit-tests that are inside modules in a lib to run? Thanks, Ettienne
