Classes

• Xctest
  • Allows invoking pre-installed xctest app from iOS devices. No Xcode installation is required. This class simulates the procedure which Xcode uses to invoke xctests.
  • new Xctest(udid, xctestBundleId, targetBundleId, opts)
    • udid - string Device udid.
    • xctestBundleId - string - Bundle Id of xctest app on device. The app must be installed on device.
    • targetBundleId - string - Test target bundle id. null by default.
    • opts - optional addition options to specific XCTestConfiguration and app launch env.
      • conf - properties to override in XCTestConfiguration.
        • productModuleName - string | null
        • targetApplicationArguments - string[] | null
        • testsToRun - string[] | null
        • testsToSkip - string[] | null
      • env - object - key-value pairs to append in xctest app environment
  • xctest.start()
    • Start xctest process. If this method has been called before and the stop() method has not been called, calling this again would return directly.
    • Throws: If xctest bundle id invalid or not installed.
  • xctest.stop()
    • Stop xctest process.
