Unknown class in Interface Builder file

[barbasevich]

I have a simple project TestXIB with CustomView.swift and CustomView.xib.
xib file has customClass="CustomView" customModule="TestXIB" customModuleProvider="target" settings.

When I'm running unit tests and trying to instantiate CustomView from xib I get an error:
Unknown class _TtC39TestXIBTests.__internal__.__test_bundle10CustomView in Interface Builder file.

If I either switch from apple_framework to swift_library or remove customModuleProvider="target" from xib all works fine.

Any ideas on how to solve the issue using apple_framework without xib modification.?

I think you want to remove the custom module provider since you’re specifying the module name manually in the xib

You’re also using rules_apples unit test and application rules, I’d reccomend trying with the rules in this repo

@segiddins Thank you, I've tried out to switch to rules_ios's ios_unit_tests and ios_application - no success.

This customModuleProvider is a default setting by Xcode. When you link view to swift class in the same target Xcode automatically propagate customModule="TestXIB" customModuleProvider="target"

After looking into apple_library implementation, perhaps it makes sense to pass resources data to swift_library when there are swift sources.? What do you think.?

Ah yeah that could be it, good hunch
