Can anyone explain to me the proper way to put a unittest { ... } block into my code so that the only time unit tests get compiled and run is if I'm in a release mode?

I thought that I could simply compile with:

dmd -release mymodule.d

However, when I run the resulting executable the unit tests are getting executed. I can wrap the unittest { ... } block in a debug { ... } block, but is this really the best way?

Thanks for the help

Sorry, it seems that the dmd is not the problem here. In fact, what was being executed was the following:

dsss build mymodule.d -release

This seems to be compiling unit tests in all the time. I'm not sure why. Can anyone help with this?

Does your dsss.conf file have the -unittest flag in it?  If so, that's why.

I discovered this to be user error. I didn't realize that dsss was creating a "dsss_objs" folder. For whatever reason, I couldn't simply do a "dsss build mymodule.d" and have it cleanly create a new instance. I guess I need to do a "dsss clean" before rebuilding. Thanks for the help Jarret

Alternatively, you can do "dsss build -full mymodule.d".  That forces a full rebuild.

And it's Jarrett with two Ts.

And everyone, I mean *everyone* misspells it the wrong way.  It's like a conspiracy.

Don't pay attention to that, Jarett :)

Don't worry, at least I know how to spell your name, Jarret!

You should see what happens to my surname. I have a list of more than 200 different ways that people have got it wrong. Including several on official documents.

Wow, I get my last name misspelled too but not quite that diversely.  You wouldn't think "Clugston" would give people that much trouble.
