I'm developing a library and using XCTest for unit tests. While trying to profile the test suite, I noticed that Instruments seems to report a leak every single time the async throwing setup function is called, no matter what. For example, This will report a leak: final class LeakTests: XCTestCase { override func setUp() async throws { try await super.setUp() } func testLeak() async throws { try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 5_000_000_000) } } This will not report a leak: final class LeakTests: XCTestCase { // override func setUp() async throws { // try await super.setUp() // } func testLeak() async throws { try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 5_000_000_000) } } Any ideas on why this might be happening, or should I just file a bug report? It makes it quite difficult to use the leak detection for unit tests, as it shows hundreds of leaks when the whole suite is ran.

Hello, everyone! I'm currently working on creating tests for a study project in Swift. My current task is to create a test to check if a file is saved correctly. The workflow in the app is as follows: Launch the app. Open a file within the app. Modify the file. Save it inside the app. Save it to the Files app. I need to verify if the saved file in the Files app is identical to a base file stored in the app bundle. Initially, I thought I could solve this by creating a UI test, which I've already implemented up to a certain point. The UI test successfully navigates through the workflow steps until it's time to compare the saved file with the base file. The problem is that I cannot open a saved file from the Files app in a UI test because it operates in a sandboxed environment and cannot interact with external app scopes. So, my question is: What should I do in this case? Would it be better to create a unit test specifically for testing the save function and ensure the UI test only verifies if the expected filename exists in the Files app? I would prefer an end-to-end (E2E) test that covers the entire workflow, but it seems Swift splits tests into Unit and UI test groups, making this approach less straightforward. Any suggestions or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

In my macOS app I have a SwiftUI list that starts like this: List(selection: $selection) { HStack { Label("Staging", systemImage: "arrow.up.square") Spacer() WorkspaceStatusBadge(unstagedCount: model.statusCounts.unstaged, stagedCount: model.statusCounts.staged) } (where WorkspaceStatusBadge is a custom view that just contains a Text) I'm trying to set the accessibility ID of that first cell so I can find it in XCUITest. If I apply the accessibilityIdentifier() modifier to the HStack, it instead sets the ID of the two static text elements inside it, and the cell still has no ID. I could find the cell based on the ID of the child staticText, but I have some other cases where this doesn't work as well. If I use .accessibilityElement() on the HStack, then XCUI sees a cell containing a Group element with the ID. This might be workable, but it's certainly not ideal. So how do I set the ID of the cell itself?

Hi, I am writing in the hope to receive some clarification about the rationale of the Audit type sufficientElementDescription - in context with Accessibility Audit API. Please see my test below: And another example in context with Xcode, where the strings visible in the UI are also set as accessible labels of their respective elements. Thanks for your help!

All tests build and run locally just fine. Xcode Cloud can build my code, but always fails to run tests with the below errors. How can I even begin to troubleshoot this? I think my setup is pretty straightforward. Just a simple test plan that execute some unit tests with Swift Testing.

I am developing an app that uses CoreBluetooth to communicate with a proprietary piece of hardware. I would like to be able to write tests for it, but there does not seem to be any way to mock or simulate the presence of, for example a CBPeripheral object. This library (https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/IOS-CoreBluetooth-Mock) almost does what I need, but it's not quite flexible enough. I think they have the right idea, but it doesn't seem to be actively maintained anymore. This seems like a pretty big hole in the iOS SDK. Is there really not an officially supported way of testing BLE functionality?

i've a problem about unit test and code coverage the problem is when i run unit test on xcode 15.2 code coverage and execuable line is show normally but when i upgrade to xcode 16 code coverage and executable line is always show 0 how can i fix that

Hello all ! I am starting to explore UI testing with XCode and was wondering if there's a simple way to access application logs directly in XCode after the session ends. We currently have access to many things (captures, video, xctest logs) in report UI (see capture) but I am surprised we don't also have the app logs. I know there's a way of accessing it via terminal in .xcresult via a custom script (https://github.com/ChrisMash/XCResultExtractor) but I find it a little tedious and unfriendly as it gives raw .txt I also noticed I can switch processes in XCode console to see app logs but it switches back to xctest logs once the test ends ^^' Is there some "see app logs" button I missed in XCode UI or is XCResultExtractor our only option ? Thank you in advance !

When running Unit tests on my project, I get an error: Error while reading test baseline file: "The file “05ACE933-24F8-449B-9949-77312B3070BC.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." at path: "/private/var/folders/qy/g9s46vp88xggk_001s62kxb00000gn/X/54A3BAF3-89F8-52E2-8575-47176446C08E/d/Wrapper/MyApp.app/PlugIns/MyAppTests.xctest/xcbaselines/05ACE933-24F8-449B-9949-77312B3070BC.plist" This happened after a rebase / merge, so I must have accidentally deleted a file from the repository. This only seems to happen on the 'My Mac (Designed for iPad) device. When I run the unit tests on my iPhone, all seems to be well. How can I either remove the reference to the missing file, or reset the baselines in the project? Kind regards, Wouter Wessels

I update my Xcode to latest 16.2. However I am unable to run the unit tests which were working fine when I used Xcode 15. Also I am using a CI/CD tools which has Xcode 15.3 and also using iOS 17.5 device to run unit tests and those are also working fine. I am getting following 3 different types of errors when I try running tests. Command SwiftCompile failed with a nonzero exit code Command SwiftEmitModule failed with a nonzero exit code PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code Any help how I can fix this?

My SwiftUI app uses an Image with a tap gesture: Image(systemName: "xmark.circle.fill") .accessibilityIdentifier(kTextFieldClearButton) .foregroundColor(.secondary) .padding(.trailing, 6) .onTapGesture { dataSource.textFieldText = "" } In a UI test, I want to tap this image to execute its action: let clearButton = app.images[kTextFieldClearButton] clearButton.tap() However the action is not executed. I then set a breakpoint at clearButton.tap(), to execute lldb commands. Here are the results: (lldb) p clearButton.isHittable t = 439.54s Find the "TextFieldClearButton" Imag (Bool) true e It is a little strange that "Image" has been interrupted by (Bool) true, but the image is hittable. p clearButton.isAccessibilityElement gives (lldb) p clearButton.isAccessibilityElement (Bool) false I don't understand why this Image is no accessibility element. I thought, SwiftUI Views are by default accessible. What can I do to make it accessible so that clearButton.tap() works as expected?

Let's say I have a local package Foo, Bar and Baz. Foo has Bar and Baz as dependency and has test target,FooTests. Below is the Package.swift manifest that describes package Foo. import PackageDescription let packages: [Package.Dependency] = [ .package(path: "../Bar"), .package(path: "../Baz"), ] let products: [Target.Dependency] = [ .product(name: "Bar", package: "Bar"), .product(name: "Baz", package: "Baz"), ] let package = Package( name: "Foo", platforms: [ .iOS(.v16), ], products: [ .library( name: "Foo", targets: ["Foo"] ), ], dependencies: packages, targets: [ .target( name: "Foo", dependencies: products, path: "Sources" ), .testTarget( name: "FooTests", dependencies: [.target(name: "Foo")], path: "Tests", swiftSettings: swiftSettings ), ] ) Bar and Baz is also local packages. Due to the limitations of the project, Baz has sources with symbolic links instead of exact directories, and these sources are what FooTests will test. If I run FooTests, test succeed with proper logs indicating that all test methods are run correctly, but test coverage says that Baz's coverage is 0% and there is no executable lines unlike the Bar which is not what be tested. Is there any way to fix this problem?
