Thanks a million for Descent (or at least $20 -- where could I send it?). With an IDE, I finally feel like I can see what's going on in my code.

I eagerly await a unittest UI, so that I can make sure my code actually works. At my job, I use test-driven development, and I miss that with D, even though the language supports unittests.

The unit test UI is being worked on, but it requires a builder and some other stuff... it'll be there soon, including stack traces (where you can go to the actual executing lines in the functions), the ability to re-run specific tests and loads more.

However, in the meantime, you can use the testing back-end that's already partially done (sadly, it only works for Windows + D1; I'm going to go back & fix that when the UI is working), which will let you run your tests one at a time, show pretty stack traces, etc. You'll have to manually link it in, and there are no pretty bars, but it's a good start for supporting test-driven development.

Check it at:

http://www.dsource.org/projects/descent/browser/trunk/descent.unittest/flute/src/org/dsource/descent/unittests/flute.d

It should be fairly well ddoced, and can run tests one at a time or all the tests in the project (the UI will come with the ability to run all the tests in a project, package, or module).
