Goal: to be able to create BDD-style structured tests with a minimal amount of messing with low-level (and not well documented) XCTest APIs
At the moment, there are the following components:
- A result builder for constructing a test out of
Describe
,Context
, andIt
elements - A function body macro that wraps the body in a
Describe
element and executes it
This enables structured tests using the normal XCTest
approach of functions that start with "test".
There are the following limitations:
- Function body macros are awkward to work with because errors, test failures, and breakpoints all have to refer to the macro-generated code
- Logging needs to show which test element a failure occurred in
- Ideally, test elements should show in Xcode's test navigator for easily running specific elements
