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.
