• Charles (8/8) Nov 05 2015 Is it possible to have unittest blocks if I'm compiling a library?
• TheFlyingFiddle (3/12) Nov 05 2015 You can test the unittests by using the -main switch.
• Charles (2/19) Nov 06 2015 That's exactly what I was missing. Thanks!

I've tried having this:

test.d:

     class Classy {
         unittest { assert(0, "failed test"); }
     }


and then build it with `dmd test.d -lib -unittest` and it doesn't 
fail the unittest.

You can test the unittests by using the -main switch.
