Every Debug+Run command causes some projects to rebuild (~10 seconds). Looks like VisualD has some false positives about changed dependencies. This is a very old problem. It would be good to have at least a workaround to force the IDE to rebuild only on source files change as now users are forced to disable "buid on run" and build solution manually after code change.

I guess you are using dmd 2.064alpha built from git-HEAD. What's causing the rebuild is a dependency generated by dmd to the pseudo module __entrypoint.d. I'd say this is a regression in dmd.

Kenji has made the fix in dmd, is the dependency detection by Visual D now ok for your projects?

I was unable to check the project because of dmd regression and thought it is invalid as Rainer told. I checked another project now and unfortunately it is still valid.

I have added an option to display the reason for rebuilding (see the project option page), please try http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/browser/downloads/VisualD-v0.3.37rc4.exe to see why it happens.

(In reply to comment #6) > I have added an option to display the reason for rebuilding (see the project > option page) Thanks! So it's `__main.d` generated because of `-main` switch in library unittest build.

Thanks, I added http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11164

The bug fix for __main is in dmd 2.064beta, do you still run into issues?

Everything is working now. Sorry, I thought it has already been resolved.
