Running from CLI? about swift HOT 8 CLOSED

@hankturowski How have you been running the test suites?

from swift.

Thus far I've only run the tests using the Xcode6 GUI.

I too have been building an Xcode6 project and coding and test from the GUI. I liked the test runner created for objective-C in Ruby by burtlo. Seems like Xcode6 is even more CLI friendly. I'll look into seeing if I can create a CLI test runner for Swift.

Any progress on this @ahalls? I've been looking into running XCTests from the CLI, but I haven't made much progress.

Swift 2.0 was just announced at WWDC and Xcode 7 is around the corner. We should probably put this on hold until they go gold.

Additionally, Swift will be open source with a Linux port at some point in the not too distant future. I assume that that will mean that command line testing will be much easier.

Im going to close this for now. We can revisit this when swift is stable in Linux.

In swift 2.2 we now have the option to use the pure swift implementation of swift. https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-xctest

Some limitations: https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-xctest#additional-considerations-for-swift-on-linux

We need to manual add all the test to
var allTests : [(String, () -> Void)] {}

We can handle this with a script
https://gist.github.com/briancroom/e2c22f162f8ba5211e31

Then all we would need to do is to call this with all the Test classes.

``XCTMain([BobTest(), Problem3Test(), ETCTest()])`

Live example with 2.2:

from swift.

we now support linux. There is updated documentation to run from the command line.
