Could someone please give me instructions for writing a Cocoa/ObjC
unit test
that actually work?
First I followed the instructions in this document:
<http://developer.apple.com/tools/unittest.html>
I added a unit test to the existing TemperatureConverter example, and
everything went great. Okay, fine. On to my own project. I followed
the
instructions in this document:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/UnitTest
ing/Articles/CreatingTests.html>
But nothing worked out correctly.
(1) I created a build target of type Unit Test Bundle.
(2) I decided I wanted it to be independent, so I skipped all the
dependency
stuff.
(3) I created a subclass of SenTestCase and gave it a void instance
method
called testWholeThing.
(3a) I linked in the SenTestingKit framework (as far as I can tell,
Apple's
document completely omits this step!).
(4) I tried to build but things kind of blew up. None of my Cocoa
symbols
were being recognized in the ld phase. I added the Cocoa framework
to the
unit test target, but I don't understand why I have to; I didn't
need to do
this in the TemperatureConverter example.
(5) I added the class I want to test to the testing target.
I build the testing target but nothing happens. The test case class
compiles
okay, the Run Script phase is being executed (as I determined by
adding an
"echo" to it), but testWholeThing does not run (as confirmed by adding
NSBeep(), logging, breakpoint, anything I could think of - I even
put in an
STFail call). The build output is:
Suite All started
Suite All finished
Ran 0 tests, 0 failed.
How do I get my tests to be seen and run?
The thing I *really* don't understand is that I've got two projects,
mine
and the TemperatureConverter example, and the former is not working
but the
latter is. Yet they appear, as projects, to be structured exactly
the same
way (except that, as I mentioned before, I had to add the Cocoa
framework to
the test case target in my project, but not in TemperatureConverter).
thx -
When you skipped the dependency stuff, did you also skip the setting
the Bundle Loader and Test Host build settings? If you're attempting
to add tests to an application (by injecting the bundle into the
application), you need to do that part. Search on Bundle Loader in the
"Add Unit Tests to Your Project" document you mentioned above.
