Unit testing in XCode 4

Question

I've managed to set up unit tests for my library in Xcode 4. I've performed builds with tests that I know will pass and fail (i.e. STAssertTrue(YES) and STAssertTrue(NO) ) just to make sure it's working. I'm using the default apple SenTest libraries following this document.

However, when my tests are running I'm getting this error in the build log :

An internal error occurred when handling command output: -[IDEActivityLogSectionRecorder endMarker]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x20310b580

To be clear, it's not affecting the running of the tests at all, just the output into the build window. All the tests run each time so I can tell a pass / fail by looking to see if the build succeeds or fails.

However, when my tests fail I can't find out which one fails because the output seems to stop when it gets to that error.

Does anyone have experience with unit testing / Xcode 4 / this error?

Answer 1

I realise it doesn't directly answer your question, but forget SenTestingKit and use GHUnit. It'll take you about 10 minutes to figure out (much more straightforward than OCUnit) and will save you a lot of headaches. IMHO, Apple should be shipping it with Xcode instead of OCUnit.

GHUnit can run your tests in a true application environment (with a GUI), or on the command line. It literally just drops into your existing project as a separate target.

I just posted this on another thread, but I'm going the opposite direction for Xcode 4.

Please see my blog post exploring the topic, leave a comment if you think I'm wrong.
