XCUITest：知道应用程序/ iPhone的语言

Question

I have a scenario where there are different users based on the language. How do I determine the language of the iPhone/Simulator/App so that I know what login to use.

For example

• if the language is en-us user Eng_User
• if language is ru then use Ru_User

Is there a way in XCUITest after launching the application that I know the language being user

Can I set a property in app delegate and use it later?? I tried setting app.accessibilityLanguage in appDelegate but couldn't use it in the test as the value returned was nil

In Xcode 9, you can set the language for an XCUITest suite in

Scheme -> Edit Scheme -> Test -> Options -> Application Language

Unfortunately I don't see a way to read that back right now. You could pass in an environment variable, though, that matches the language. Under

Scheme -> Edit Scheme -> Test -> Arguments -> Environment Variables

set a key / value for your test local and language that matches the setting in Options. You can read environment variables in your test code with ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment ie

let language = ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["locale"]
