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)

If you want to run the test clients/servers in OpenSSL
mode, you have to provide »server-private-key.pem« and
»server-certificate.pem« files in the directory the server
executable resides in, and a »trusted-ca-certificate.pem«
file for the client. The easiest way is to generate a new
self signed certificate using the provided config file
(openssl.test.cnf):

openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -config openssl.test.cnf \
  -out server-certificate.pem
cat server-certificate.pem > trusted-ca-certificate.pem

This steps are also performed automatically by the
Autotools build system if the files are not present.
