Passing arguments to iOS tests with xcodebuild

问题

I'd like to pass command line arguments to my iOS tests through the command line (xcodebuild). I'm looking for the equivalent of this setting on XCode:

Simply passing the argument to xcodebuild doesn't work, e.g.:

xcodebuild -verbose test -workspace theworkspace.xcworkspace -scheme 'thescheme' -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 7' --argument=value

This question is similar to xcodebuild pass arguments to application on iOS but the solution to that question is not satisfactory.

回答1:

To add to @ManWithBear's answer, I ended up doing this in a script:

#Remove previous command line arguments
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete DetoxTestRunner:CommandLineArguments" "$TESTRUN" || true
#Add an empty array
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add DetoxTestRunner:CommandLineArguments array" "$TESTRUN"

#Add script arguments as launch arguments of the test runner app
for i in $*; do
  /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add DetoxTestRunner:CommandLineArguments: string '$i'" "$TESTRUN"
done

In the code above, I add all arguments passed to a script as launch argument to the tester app. DetoxTestRunner is the name if the test scheme/target.

I didn't manage to find "easy" solution. So instead I split testing in 3 steps:
1. Run xcodebuild build-for-testing. It will generate xctestrun file in derived data, which contains list of launch arguments
2. Add your desire launch arguments here
3. run xcodebuild test-without-building -xctestrun <%path_to_file_here%>

I wrote script for it. It still need some improvements, so in close time I will share its final form.

Edit: Never had time to update script. So here ugly versions, that suit our needs. https://gist.github.com/ManWithBear/57cbabc8dcd0193d156c376d2d23ff02
