Cannot build specs on Linux

[yogaraptor]

• I have read CONTRIBUTING and have done my best to follow them.

What did you do?

Use Quick to test my Swift project on Linux. Used the QuickOnLinux example as a reference.

What did you expect to happen?

To be able to build the project and run tests :)

What actually happened instead?

$ swift build
Compile Swift Module 'Spec' (2 sources)
/home/xxxx/dev/critter/swift-i3s/Sources/Spec/main.swift:4:5: error: cannot convert value of type 'Point2dSpec' to expected element type 'QuickSpec.Type'
    Point2dSpec(),
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
<unknown>:0: error: build had 1 command failures

Files:

• The spec
• The struct I'm attempting to test

Environment

List the software versions you're using:

• Quick: 1.1.0

• Nimble: 5.0.0

• Xcode Version: n/a

• Swift Version: 3.1.1
  Please also mention which package manager you used and its version. Delete the
  other package managers in this list:

• Swift Package Manager 3.1.0

Project that demonstrates the issue

Unfortunately the example repository is fairly outdated now. Quick is now integrated with Swift Package Manager's test support: https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/blob/master/Documentation/Usage.md#testing.

So what you should really do are:

• Place test sources into Tests/FooBarTests directory as defined in Swift Package Manager convention

• Place QCKMain(...) in Test/LinuxMain.swift file

  // Tests/LinuxMain.swift
  import XCTest
  import FooBar
  
  @testable import FooBarTests
  
  QCKMain([
      FooBarSpec.self // not `FooBarSpec()`
  ])
  

• Then you could run the test suites using swift test command

Quick itself is a real world example of how to use Quick with SwiftPM: https://github.com/Quick/Quick/blob/master/Tests/LinuxMain.swift.

Thanks! I'll try this out :)

Unfortunately the example repository is fairly outdated now.

We should either:

1. Update https://github.com/Quick/QuickOnLinuxExample and build it continuously to make sure it stays up-to-date, or
2. Add the instructions @ikesyo posted above to Quick's documentation.
