Hi,

I'm in the middle of building a mid-size application in D and have been
conscientious about building unittests in all of my classes.

The main() module as well as all component modules have been built with
-funittest.   I know that unittests are run before main() starts, but my
problem is that gdc is only running the unittests that appear in the main()
module and not those that are linked in from supporting object modules.

Is there a way to enable the unittests that are linked into main()?

The crazy thing is that my main module contains no class definitions so no
unittests are actually being run.  I verified  this in gdc by creating a small
class definiton with built-in unittest.

I can, of course, cruft up a dummy "void main()" in each of the component
modules, but that's pretty ugly.  

(BTW: I've seen some of the utilities that run all unittests, but I'm hoping
there's a better solution.)

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

If they aren't run it is a bug somewhere. FWIW, the Tango runtime have a
hook to give you more control of the unittests you run. The following is
used to run Tango unittests (all files are built and linked in via
rebuild).

import tango.io.Stdout;
import tango.core.Runtime;

bool tangoUnitTester()
{
    uint countFailed = 0;
    uint countTotal = 1;
    Stdout ("NOTE: This is still fairly rudimentary, and will only report
the").newline;
    Stdout ("    first error per module.").newline;
    foreach ( m; ModuleInfo )  // _moduleinfo_array )
    {
        if ( m.unitTest) {
            Stdout.format ("{}. Executing unittests in '{}' ", countTotal,
m.name);
            countTotal++;
            try {
               m.unitTest();
            }
            catch (Exception e) {
                countFailed++;
                Stdout(" - Unittest failed.").newline;
                Stdout.format("   File '{}', line '{}'.", e.file,
e.line).newline;
                Stdout.format("     Message is : '{}'", e.msg).newline;
                if (e.info)
                    Stdout.format("     TraceInfo: {}",
e.info.toString).newline;
                continue;
            }
            Stdout(" - Success.").newline;
        }
    }

    Stdout.format ("{} out of {} tests failed.", countFailed, countTotal -
1).newline;
    return true;
}

static this() {
    Runtime.moduleUnitTester( &tangoUnitTester );
}

void main() {}

Lars,

Thanks for the cool Tango code, but I found the problem -- a bug in my build
script.
