Visual Studio App Center XCUITest Extensions

AppCenterXCUITestExtensions is an iOS Framework for taking screenshots and labeling test steps when running XCUITest test in Visual Studio App Center or Xamarin Test Cloud. At the conclusion of each test method, a label and screenshot are automatically generated for the test report. You can create additional labels and screenshots to track your app's progress during a test method.

Update

This framework has been deprecated.

This framework is not compatibible with Xcode >= 10.2.

This framework is no longer required for running XCUITests in Visual Studio App Center.

Users need to migrate their tests to use Apple's XCTContext runActivityNamed:block API.

- (void)testFavoriteSongs {
  [XCTContext runActivityNamed:@"Then I touch the Library tab" block:^(id<XCTActivity>
                                                                      _Nonnull activity) {
    // Gestures always generate a screenshot which will appear in your test report.
    [self.app.buttons[@"Library"] tap];
  }];

  [XCTContext runActivityNamed:@"Then I see a list of my favorite songs" block:^(id<XCTActivity>
                                                                                 _Nonnull activity) {
    // Queries do not generate screenshots.
    // Take a screenshot before assertions to make your test report more readable.
    XCUIScreenshot *screenshot = [[XCUIScreen mainScreen] screenshot];
    XCTAttachment *attachment = [XCTAttachment attachmentWithScreenshot:screenshot];
    [attachment setLifetime:XCTAttachmentLifetimeKeepAlways];
    [activity addAttachment:attachment];
    XCTAssertNotNil(self.app.tables[@"favorite Songs"]);
  }];
}

To make test source code readable, we recommend this method to take screenshots:

- (void) addScreenshot:(id<XCTActivity>  _Nonnull ) activity {
  XCUIScreenshot *screenshot = [[XCUIScreen mainScreen] screenshot];
  XCTAttachment *attachment;
  attachment = [XCTAttachment attachmentWithScreenshot:screenshot];
  [attachment setLifetime:XCTAttachmentLifetimeKeepAlways];
  [activity addAttachment:attachment];
}

We recommend inserting screenshots during your tests to make the test report easier to interrept.

Documentation

Please refer to the official App Center documentation site for installation and usage for both Visual Studio App Center and Xamarin Test Cloud.

This repository contains four demonstration apps:

Flowers: demonstrates the API.
Dido: demonstrates how to the link the framework using Carthage.
BeetIt: demonstrates how to link the framework using CocoaPods.
StickShift: demonstrates how to manually link the framework.

Known Issues

Swift + bitcode

If you are building Swift XCUITests, you may encounter a build error related to bitcode. As a workaround, you can disable bitcode in your XCUITest target. To do this, go to Build Settings, search for ENABLE_BITCODE and set the value to NO for the test target. You should not need to change the setting for the App target.
