Hi
I want to put some code together in a local library that is
then used by several other projects. I am running into a few
problems. Firstly when I try and configure the code to be a
library (dub init, add d files to source, and remove
source/app.d - perhaps this wrong) dub test no longer seems to
work?
Secondly I am having problems getting dub to add the library
code to other projects. It seems to work if I run dub add-local
path/to/library and then add the appropriate dependencies to
the projects dub.json file. However, I didn't manage to find
documentation that explains exactly how this should work. Also
there seems to be some mention getting this to work with
versions (in the documentation about dub add-path), which I
couldn't follow.
Does anyone know in more detail how this works or how I can
find out?
You need to add 2 configurations. The first configuration is used
automatically when you execute `dub build`. Just name the config
`debug` with targetType `library`. Add a second configuration
with name `unittest` and targetType `executable` and attribute
`mainSourceFile` pointing to a module containing your main
function for your test. For example name this module `testapp.d`.
The module `testapp.d` you need to exclude in your configuration
`debug` using attribute `excludeSourceFiles`.
The configuration `unittest` is automatically used when you
execute `dub test`.
Kind regards
