Getting this all working is frustrating, but is do-able.  It is a shame that Apple has decided to pay unit testing such short-shrift.  Xcode 4 could be such an awesome platform for running these unit tests, and Xcode 4 has made improvements, the biggest is that it will annotate the code when a test fails.

Anyway.

The biggest issues I had were mainly my fault. Insure that all of your code that needs to be is marked for inclusion in both your app target and the test target.  This can be done by looking at the compilation steps for the two targets, or on a per-file bases by using that inspector that resides on the far right.  You need to also insure your data model is included in the test target too, and that the framework is included in the 'link' step of the tests build.

Speaking of unit testing - I created a unit test that involved Core Data and the test couldn't find the data model.

Is that because the test is driven script that doesn't necessary know about an "NSBundle" ... or is there some other obvious mistake I made?

Thanks,

Mike,

       We haven't taken the plunge yet to Xcode 4, but I can say that Xcode has not had good support for unit testing, and it's been more than a little frustrating.  I'm used to IDEA where everything just works without much effort.  That being said, others on this list recommended using GHUnit, and we followed their advice and are much happier for it:

       It's been a while since we made the switch, and I don't remember all the details of what we had to do, but I seem to recall it was relatively straightforward to set up.

Regards,
Paul
