Hi! Any idea how can I run ios tests in my common module with cocoapoads from xcode?

Can you clarify more what you're trying to do?

[fcosta]

Yes! I have a shared module that exports the native code through Cocoapods and this module is consumed by xcode. There are some tests there it can’t run with a simple Gradle task due to this integration.

[fcosta]

I can’t run something like below in a simple command line

./gradlew runiOStests

[fcosta]

I will give a example

[fcosta]

This task will fail because of cocoapods integration

[fcosta]

I would like to know if there is a way to run them 🙂

I'm not sure you can expose tests to be run from an Xcode project. @kpgalligan?

[kpgalligan]

Sort of. We’ve done it in the past. You can pass -tr to the kotlin native compiler, which will create the actual test runner: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/76e3ad7a5c4482e499fb200a45ad99cb78d00048/backend.native/cli.bc/src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/cli/bc/K2NativeCompilerArguments.kt#L25

[kpgalligan]

Then you can call that test runner entry point from Xcode, or more specifically an XCtest

[kpgalligan]

However, I haven’t set that up with the cocoapods plugin

[fcosta]

i’m gonna try that!

[kpgalligan]

Would need to dig for a while to find the test runner call, although the bigger job is doing be getting the test build to make an actual framework that you can use

[fcosta]

Yeah, i decided to remove CocoaPods integration in order to have some tests running. Thanks!
