digitalmars.D.learn - How to run unit tests on Windows?

I've had success running unit tests on OSX by running `rdmd 
--main -unittest [file]` but have had no such luck on Windows. 
The aforementioned command fails, and `dmd [file] -main 
-unittest` seems to run the program without actually executing 
the unit tests.

Help?

Should work. If you can go into more detail as to how it fails, maybe we 
can figure out what's wrong.

Invoked like that, dmd doesn't run the program at all. It just makes an 
.exe file of it. To run the program simply type its name into the 
command prompt. So if your source file is foo.d, `dmd foo.d -main 
-unittest` creates foo.exe, and you run it with `foo`.

I'm haven't got access to my Windows PC at the moment, but that 
sounds like it will solve my problem. Thank you!

Also, you can use rdmd on Windows if dmd is installed.
