运行特定的XCUITests集

Question

The problem is that I want to be able to run specific amount or group of XCUITests, like in Calabash for example. In Calabash you can run a set of tests marked with specific tag. So, I was wondering is there anything that I can do to achieve this? I know that I can split group of tests by bundle or even scheme, but thats not what I am looking for.

So, far I saw that you can run only specific test, but not a group of tests.

EDIT:

Basically I want to be able run command something like:

xcodebuild test -workspace -scheme -destination -only-testing:UITestBundle -tag

In that way I would be able to test only specific functionality related to small area of my project, so it would not be needed to run all bundle which could potentially take a lot of time. And I would be able to set up this in CI. And it would not be necessary to change my code every time when I need to run different set of tests.

Answer 1

You can govern the execution by Launch arguments and skip the tests based on the corresponding values. Create a Launch Arg like IsSkippingTests and set a value based on your requirement, then at the beginning of each test you can add the the code like:

guard LA.valueOfLA("-IsSkippingTests") == "requiredFunctionality" else { return }

And define a struct LA which will contain valueOfLA static method:

public struct LA {
static public func valueOfLA(key: String) -> String? {
    var arguments = NSProcessInfo.processInfo().arguments

    if let index = arguments.indexOf(key) where index + 1 < arguments.count {
        return arguments[index + 1]
    }

    return nil
}

So based on the value which you supply you can execute set of tests and skip the ones which you don't want. You can also set multiple values and modify the valueForLA method to handle it.

Answer 2

it is now possible with possible with xcode 8. Check this video
