# UITestKit
### An iOS Library for UI Testing
## Features
- UI Testing from a vanilla `XCTest` target
- Enable / Disable UI Animations
- Take screenshots on test assertion failures
- `waitForCondition` function to free up the UI thread and wait for your block condition to become true (or timeout and move on)
- `pauseForUIDebug()` function to allow you to pause a (configurable) amount of time between steps in your tests
- function becomes a no-op when `shouldPauseUI` is false (the default)
- variables to get you the top view controller
- Example App to demonstrate capabilities

## Why not use XCUITests?
- UITestKit lets you interact with the application code directly from test code
- Easier mocking of model objects
- Easier invocation of ViewControllers
- Lower level access to your application
- UITestKit provides convenience variables for taking screenshots from failures
- UITestKit can be far less rigid than XCUITests
## Example
To run the example project, clone the repo, and run `pod install` from the Example directory first.
## Requirements
- iOS 9.0 or higher
## Installation
UITestKit is available through [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org). To install
it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
```ruby
pod 'UITestKit'
```
### Code Examples
```swift
/// Pre-test initialization
override func setUp() {
super.setUp()
// Don't show view transitions - this will help prevent timing related failures
disableAnimations()
// pause when pauseForUIDebug() is called
shouldPauseUI = true
// how long to pause for when pauseForUIDebug() is called
pauseTimer = 0.3
// Now do other setup tasks
}
```
```swift
/// Tests logging in to the application
func testLoginSuccess() {
// Verify that we're at the Main VC or fail and take a screenshot
XCTAssertTrue(waitForCondition({ self.mainVC != nil }, timeout: 3), topVCScreenshot)
pauseForUIDebug()
mainVC?.loadEmailLoginScreen()
// Verify that we're at the Sign in VC or fail and take a screenshot
XCTAssertTrue(waitForCondition({ self.signInVC != nil}, timeout: 1), topVCScreenshot)
pauseForUIDebug()
// Simulate typing email
if let emailText = signInVC?.emailText {
emailText.text = "[email protected]"
pauseForUIDebug()
}
// simulate typing password
if let passwordText = signInVC?.passwordText {
passwordText.text = "UserPassword"
pauseForUIDebug()
}
// log in
signInVC?.login()
// Verify that we've signed in successfully and are at the Welcome VC or fail and take a screenshot
XCTAssertTrue(waitForCondition({ self.welcomeVC != nil}, timeout: 5), topVCScreenshot)
}
```
### Best Practices
- It is recommended to create a `BaseUITest` class that specializes `UITestKitBase` and provides convenience variables for your application's view controllers:
```swift
/// Gets you the `SquareTabVC` if it's the topVC
var squareTabVC: SquareTabVC? {
return topVC as? SquareTabVC
}
/// Gets the `ShapesTableViewController`
var shapeTableVC: ShapesTableViewController? {
return topVC as? ShapesTableViewController
}
```
- It is recommend that you use the screenshot capability when checking for specific UI's to be visible or in a specific UI state:
```swift
XCTAssertTrue(waitForCondition({ self.shapeTableVC != nil }, timeout: 1), topVCScreenshot)
```
`topVCScreenshot` will produce failures like this:
`The Screenshot that is produced will look something like the following:`
