I think a DMD option should be added to allow the tests to be
compiled but never called, something like -runTests. Because
the first solution is much more attractive.
Actually the first solution works with:
https://dlang.org/phobos/core_runtime.html#.Runtime.moduleUnitTester

#!runnable-flags: -unittest -main
module m;
import std.stdio;
import core.runtime;
enum USERTEST;
@USERTEST unittest // exeuted once
{
writeln("bang");
}
unittest
{
writeln("bing");
}
bool tester()
{
import std.traits;
foreach(t; __traits(getUnitTests, m))
{
static if (hasUDA!(t, USERTEST))
t();
}
return true;
}
static this()
{
Runtime.moduleUnitTester = &tester;
}

So there's really no problem with selecting the top-level UT.
Maybe it even works with other traits such as "parent". Or with a
template that collects only the tests in a set of module like in
the previous attempt (based on this:
