Is this a bug? Unit tests do not seem to work in libraries. I'm using dmd 1.062 for linux.

mylib.d :
module mylib;

void blah()
{
}
unittest
{
	assert(false);
}

main.d :
module main;

import mylib;

void main()
{
	blah();
}

The unit test does not get run when compiled as:
dmd -lib mylib.d
dmd main.d mylib.a

But does get run when compiled as
dmd main.d mylib.d

Is this the intended behavior for unit tests in libraries?

Did you pass -unittest to dmd?  It needs to be there when compiling the file that contains unit tests.

I'm surprised unittests run at all with those compile lines.

Haha, whoops, forgot to mention that I DID indeed include -unittest in all compile lines.

Hm... I would say if -unittest is passed to the dmd -lib line, and you don't get unit tests out of the resulting executable, you found a compiler bug!
