tools-xctest

tools-xctest is a testing framework for Objective-C, providing functionalities identical to Apple's XCTest. It is designed for use with the GNUstep development environment. This framework allows developers to write and run unit tests for their Objective-C code in a way that is familiar to those accustomed to XCTest in Apple's ecosystem.

Requirements

• GNUstep Base
• GNUstep Make

Installation

Dependencies

• GNUstep Base
• GNUstep Make

Using Meson

1. Run meson setup build
2. Build XCTest with ninja -C build
3. Install XCTest with ninja -C build install

Using GNUstep Make

1. Run make to build the project.
2. Run make install to install tools-xctest on your system.

Usage

To use tools-xctest, include the header files in your test classes and link against the tools-xctest library. The usage is similar to Apple's XCTest:

#import <XCTest/XCTest.h>

@interface MyTestCase : XCTestCase
@end

@implementation MyTestCase

- (void)testExample {
    XCTAssertEqual(1 + 1, 2, @"Basic arithmetic doesn't seem to work!");
}

@end

You will need to compile the test cases into one or more bundles, as xctest expects .bundle's.

Running Tests

Tests can be run using the command line tool provided by tools-xctest. This can be done by navigating to the directory containing your test cases and executing:

xctest [path to your test case bundle]
