问题
I am testing the new UI testing functionality of Xcode 7 (introduced in the WWDC 2015 video "UI Testing in Xcode").
On launch, my app animates a "login panel" into view, by updating the value of its vertical layout constraint: the panel slides up into view from beneath the main view (off screen).
The panel contains two text fields, for user name and password.
When you tap the return key on the keyboard for the user name text field (labeled "Next"), the password textfield becomes first responder. When you tap the retrun key for the password text field (labeled "Go"), the panel is "dismissed" (i.e., animated back off screen), an activity indicator starts to spin and authentication begins.
I recorded a test performing the actions described above, but when I try to "reproduce" it, it fails seemingly because the text fields are not available for input right away:

(emphasis mine. Project name and bundle id changed to fake values)
How can I handle a UI like this? (i.e., test code has to wait for a certain animation to complete before the target control becomes operable)
I can't remember the video mentioning these kind of 'timing' issues.
回答1:
I would recommend against ticking the run loop and instead use the built in XCTest asynchronous API. For example:
let app = XCUIApplication()
app.launch()
let textField = app.textField["user name"]
let existsPredicate = NSPredicate(format: "exists == 1")
expectationForPredicate(existsPredicate, evaluatedWithObject: textField, handler: nil)
waitForExpectationsWithTimeout(5, handler: nil)
textField.tap()
textField.type("joemasilotti")
This will wait until the text field with accessibility label/identifier "username" actually exists on the screen. Then it will tap on the text field, making it active, and type my username. If five seconds pass before this becomes true the test will fail.
I have also written a post on how to use UI Testing on my blog and put together a UI Testing Cheat Sheet for scenarios like this.
