I have an dub config file specifying a targetType of 'executable'. There is only one file, the file containing main(), and no unit tests.

When I run 'dub test', dub builds and runs the executable. This is not really desirable. Is there a way to set up the dub configuration file to disable running the test?

Note: What I'd really like to do is run a custom shell command when 'dub test' is done, I haven't seen anything suggesting that's an option. However, disabling would still be useful.

What's the point of even running dub test if you have no unit tests? Just do dub build, and then use the resulting executable, or if you want to build and run in one command, then use dub run.

I should have supplied more context. A few days ago I announced open-sourcing a D package consisting of several executables. Multiple comments recommended making it available via the Dub repository. I wasn't using Dub to build, and there are a number of loose ends when working with Dub and multiple executables. I've been trying to limit the number of issues others might encounter if they pulled the package and ran typical commands, like 'dub test'. It's not a big deal, but if there's an easy way to provide a handler, I will.

Also, the reason for a custom shell command is that there are tests, it's just that they are run against the built executable rather than via the unittest framework.
