positive confirmation that the tests have succeeded.

When using junit, results such as the following are displayed:

Time: 0.01

OK (6 tests)

Is it possible to get similar feedback from unit tests in D?

Thanks for any help that can be offered.

There's currently no way that I've seen to get any reporting out of D's
built in unit tests. There is a document I posted on the newsgroup a few
weeks back on that very topic; there's a link to it on the wiki in feature
requests. I've not heard back from Walter on it, though.

I bet the unittest hooks (or lack thereof) will get another pass after 1.0.
I'd like to see a standard mechanism for plugging in a custom test harness
- eg pass in the name of the harness function on the command line.

What I do is something like you see in std.string:

//debug=string;         // uncomment to turn on debugging printf's

...

unittest
{
    int result;

    debug(string) printf("string.cmp.unittest\n");
    result = cmp("abc", "abc");
    assert(result == 0);
    result = cmp(null, null);
    assert(result == 0);
    result = cmp("", "");
    assert(result == 0);
    result = cmp("abc", "abcd");
    assert(result < 0);
    result = cmp("abcd", "abc");
    assert(result > 0);
    result = cmp("abc", "abd");
    assert(result < 0);
    result = cmp("bbc", "abc");
    assert(result > 0);
}

You can also add at the end:
    debug(string) printf"string.cmp.unittest succeeded\n");
