I would want to use the classinfo property of the base class in the 
static constructor of a template class, but the closest I could get was 
passing the class as an alias parameter:

class Test(alias BaseClass)
{
     static this()
     {
         writefln(BaseClass.classinfo.name);
     }
}

class TestBase : Test!(TestBase)
{
}

Is there any other way to print the name of the base class in the static 
constructor?

Thanks

Ok, that's right. But try classinfo.base.name.
