Re: Unit testing Cocoa-Java applications?

Another update: I now have the application quit after the unit tests are run, and use a shell script build phase to run the tests in my Test target.

Here's the new runAllUnitTestsIfRequested() method:

public void runAllUnitTestsIfRequested()
{
Boolean runAllUnitTests;

runAllUnitTests = new Boolean((String) NSSystem.environment().valueForKey("RunAllUnitTests"));

if (runAllUnitTests.booleanValue() == true) {
try {
// This is the same as
// TestAll.runAllUnitTests();
// only it's fully dynamic, and will fail
// safely in the release build.

Class testAllClass = Class.forName("TestAll");

Method runAllUnitTestsMethod =
testAllClass.getMethod("runAllUnitTests", null);

runAllUnitTestsMethod.invoke(null, null);
}

catch (Exception classNotFound) {
// Do nothing
}

finally {
NSApplication.sharedApplication().terminate(this);
}
}
}

Here's the shell script, RunAllUnitTests.sh, that I use to run the application with testing configured:

#!/bin/sh

# Set up the environment

RunAllUnitTests=true
export RunAllUnitTests

# Run the executable

"${SYMROOT}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.${WRAPPER_EXTENSION}/Contents/MacOS/ ${PRODUCT_NAME}"

The shell script build phase I created just contains ". $SRCROOT/RunAllUnitTests.sh", which runs the script regardless of its x permission.

Using this, I now have my unit tests running every time I build.

The only two things left to make it fancier are to figure out how to have the test system automatically discover all test suites (so I don't have to add them to TestAll.suite() by hand), and to generate its output in a format that Project Builder can parse so it shows failures in red in the build window.
