NAME

       dub-test - Executes the tests of the selected package

SYNOPSIS

       dub test [<package>[@<version-spec>]] OPTIONS...  [-- <application arguments...>]

DESCRIPTION

       Builds the package and executes all contained unit tests.

       If  no  explicit  configuration  is  given,  an  existing "unittest" configuration will be
       preferred for testing. If none exists, the first library type configuration will be  used,
       and if that doesn't exist either, the first executable configuration is chosen.

       When  a  custom  main  file (--main-file) is specified, only library configurations can be
       used. Otherwise, depending on the type of the selected configuration, either  an  existing
       main  file  will be used (and needs to be properly adjusted to just run the unit tests for
       'version(unittest)'), or DUB will generate one for library type configurations.

       Finally, if the package contains a dependency to the "tested" package,  the  automatically
       generated main file will use it to run the unit tests.

OPTIONS

       --temp-build
           Builds the project in the temp folder if possible.

       --main-file=VALUE
           Specifies a custom file containing the main() function to use for running the tests.

       --combined
           Tries to build the whole project in a single compiler run.

       --parallel
           Runs multiple compiler instances in parallel, if possible.

       -f, --force
           Forces a recompilation even if the target is up to date

       --coverage
           Enables code coverage statistics to be generated.

       --coverage-ctfe
           Enables code coverage (including CTFE) statistics to be generated.

       -b, --build=VALUE
           Specifies  the  type  of  build  to  perform. Note that setting the DFLAGS environment
           variable will override the build type with custom flags.  Possible names:
             debug, plain, release, release-debug, release-nobounds, unittest, profile,  profile-
           gc,  docs,  ddox,  cov,  cov-ctfe,  unittest-cov, unittest-cov-ctfe, syntax and custom
           types

       -c, --config=VALUE
           Builds the specified configuration. Configurations can be defined in dub.json

       --override-config=VALUE
           Uses the specified configuration for a certain dependency. Can be  specified  multiple
           times.  Format: --override-config=<dependency>/<config>

       --compiler=VALUE
           Specifies  the compiler binary to use (can be a path).  Arbitrary pre- and suffixes to
           the identifiers below are recognized (e.g. ldc2  or  dmd-2.063)  and  matched  to  the
           proper compiler type:
             dmd, gdc, ldc, gdmd, ldmd

       -a, --arch=VALUE
           Force a different architecture (e.g. x86 or x86_64)

       -d, --debug=VALUE
           Define  the  specified `debug` version identifier when building - can be used multiple
           times

       --d-version=VALUE
           Define the specified `version` identifier when building - can be used multiple  times.
           Use  sparingly,  with  great  power  comes  great responsibility! For commonly used or
           combined  versions  and  versions  that  dependees  should  be  able  to  use,  create
           configurations in your package.

       --nodeps
           Do not resolve missing dependencies before building

       --build-mode=VALUE
           Specifies the way the compiler and linker are invoked. Valid values:
             separate (default), allAtOnce, singleFile

       --single
           Treats the package name as a filename. The file must contain a package recipe comment.

       --force-remove
           Deprecated option that does nothing.

       --filter-versions
           [Experimental]  Filter  version  identifiers  and debug version identifiers to improve
           build cache efficiency.
