I'm using Xcode 3.1, and I'm trying to debug a Objective-C unit test

What could possibly be needed to allow debugging of the unit test?
Chris Hanson's directions are not up-to-date for 3.1. If you browse
through the comments you will find an anonymous poster who mentions
what you need to do. In 3.1 you also need to add an environment
variable XCInjectBundleInto which is the full path to the executable.
The DevToolsBundleInjection will also log a message to the debug
console informing you that you need to specify the XCInjectBundleInto
environment variable if it was not specified.
For quick reference you need to do the following:
Add the argument "-SenTest All" to the executable.
Add the following environment variables to the executable:
Name: DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
Value: $(DEVELOPER_LIBRARY_DIR)/PrivateFrameworks/
DevToolsBundleInjection.framework/DevToolsBundleInjection
Name: DYLD_FALLBACK_FRAMEWORK_PATH
Value:$(DEVELOPER_LIBRARY_DIR)/Frameworks
For the following two environment variables I would suggest specifying
the entire path in the value to verify that debugging works. After
you verify that you can break on breakpoints in your test cases then
you may wish to substitute with the appropriate environment variables.
Name: XCInjectBundle
Value: /Volumes/Backup/TestUnit/build/Debug/Tester.octest <- change
this to your path
The Following environment variable is new in 3.1 and not mentioned in
Chris Hanson's instructions as of this writing.
Name: XCInjectBundleInto
Value: /Volumes/Backup/TestUnit/build/Debug/TestUnit.app/Contents/
MacOS/TestUnit <- change this to your path
With the active target the Unit Test Bundle you created, active build
configuration of Debug, and active Executable the one you specified
the above environment variables and arguments for, select Debug from
the Run menu. It should now stop on any breakpoint you have in your
test cases.
