Testing

D support in Thrift is covered by two sets of tests: first, the unit test blocks contained in the D source files, and second, the more extensive testing applications in the test/ subdirectory, which also make use of the Thrift compiler. Both are built when running “make check”, but only the unit tests are immediately run, however – the separate test cases typically run longer or require manual intervention. It might also be prudent to run the independent tests, which typically consist of a server and a client part, against the other language implementations.

To build the unit tests on Windows, the easiest way might be to manually create a file containing an empty main() and invoke the compiler by running the following in the src/ directory (PowerShell syntax):

dmd -ofunittest -unittest -w $(dir -r -filter ‘*.d’ -name)

Async and SSL

Using SSL with async is experimental (always has been) and the unit test “async_test –ssl” hangs. Use at your own risk.
