UI Testing

A handy Cheatsheet and some gotchas.

TODO: In /Users/ci/.jenkins/workspace/iOS-DevelopNightly/src, a xctool -workspace MyAwesomeApp.xcworkspace -scheme Debug test Should work - but fails.

Note to be confued with XCTest UI

xcodebuild \
  -workspace MyAwesomeApp.xcworkspace \
  -scheme MyAwesomeApp \
  -sdk iphonesimulator \
  -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6,OS=8.1' \
  test

Gives:

xcodebuild                                                      \
  -workspace MyAwesomeApp.xcworkspace                           \
  -scheme Nightly                                               \
  -sdk iphonesimulator                                          \
  -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6,OS=9.3'    \
  test                                                          \
|                                                               \
