Hi,

I ran the dmd unittests on my Windows machine today and one of the tests in filename.d asserted. The cause for this has already been noticed a few days ago by someone else [1] but not by CI.

Is it well-known that the dmd unittests (at least for the Windows build) are not automatically run? If so, what is the reasoning behind it?

I'm guessing because originally there weren't that many unit test blocks in the DMD source (or any at all). The main test suite is in the separate directory "tests".
