XCTestBootstrap

A macOS library for launching XCTest & XCUITest and managing connection with testmanager daemon.

Features

• Prepares XCTest bundle.
• Launches application and injects XCTest bundle.
• Opens and manages connection with testmanager daemon during the test.
• It works with iOS simulator & device tests.
• It works with macOS tests.

Usage

In order to use XCTestBootstrap you need to provide class that implements <FBDeviceOperator> supplying basic device instructions like install application, launch application etc.

A good example is FBSimulatorControlOperator and FBSimulatorInteraction+XCTest\

  FBSimulatorTestPreparationStrategy *testPrepareStrategy =
  [FBSimulatorTestPreparationStrategy strategyWithTestRunnerBundleID:configuration.bundleID
                                                    testBundlePath:testBundlePath
                                                  workingDirectory:workingDirectory
                                                  ];
  FBSimulatorControlOperator *operator = [FBSimulatorControlOperator operatorWithSimulator:self.simulator];
  FBXCTestRunStrategy *testRunStrategy = [FBXCTestRunStrategy strategyWithDeviceOperator:operator testPrepareStrategy:testPrepareStrategy logger:simulator.logger];
  NSError *innerError = nil;
  FBTestManager *testManager = [testRunStrategy startTestManagerWithAttributes:configuration.arguments environment:configuration.environment error:&innerError];

FBTestManager needs to be kept alive in order to keep test running.
