The problem was solved, it turned out to be that I can't have the 
same module name in different files like C# namespaces, so the 
equivalent test modules I prefixed with "tests.".

Another problem I am facing is that I am using package.d files to 
kind of simulate namespaces in C#, and I added unit-threaded 
package to have a better output for the "dub test" output. It 
seems that unit-threaded did not like the way I am using packages 
and does not generate bin/ut.d file correctly.

I did a workaround by running "dub test", changing the generated 
bin/ut.d, chaging the dub.json to generate bin/ut2.d thus not 
overriding the one I changed. Whenever adding new packages will 
have to redo this work again.

Is anyone aware of this problem?

Kind regards,
