DUB-TEST(1)

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.
