xctool-node v0.0.1

xctool-node

Node wrapper around XCTool (experimental)

#What it is

This is a wrapper for adding some convenience around running XCode tests via the command line (with xctool). It provides:

• A simple console style test runner interface, for just running tests quickly.
• A command-line tool for running tests via a CI system.
• The ability to run suites or tests in series with a simulator reset in between.

#What it is not

This is not meant to be a replacement or complete wrapper in any way around xctool. While this contains some building blocks, around running xctool via node, it's single purpose right now is to simplify setting up & running specific tests & suites via a CI. This is not an includeable node module, and is meant to be installed via the -g flag only. (npm install -g xctool-node)

#How to use it

• npm install -g node-xctool
• Add an .xctool-args file to your XCode project base directory, with your testing scheme and project pre-filled. For instance:

[
  "-workspace", "WeHeartIt.xcworkspace",
  "-scheme", "Efron CI Test",
  "-configuration", "Debug",
  "-sdk", "iphonesimulator",
  "-arch", "i386"
]

Note that if you specify a reporter, it will currently be ignored, as this wrapper relies on the plain reporter.

• run xctool-node from the root directory of your project.
