I'm trying to get unit tests to run in CI (Jenkins). I came across this a article online with some hacks to get tests running in command line. I tried it on an empty project with the default setup for unit tests and the instructions there work just fine, but when I try to do it on an existing project that has unit tests setup I'm getting a ambiguous error:

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:

(1 failure)

Ignore the resinstall app part. That's from app code. So this tells me that it crashed during runtime at some point. The unit tests run just fine within Xcode 4, I just can't get it to play nice with command line. If it is of any help I'm using OCUnit with OCMock. Thanks!

  • Did you ever find a solution for this? I have the same problem. Trying to run Cedar tests from command line and I get the same "Failed to create file; code =2" error – AFraser Sep 11 '12 at 05:21
  • Unfortunately I never found a solution for this. I ended up changing the tests (previously application tests) into logical unit tests and they ran fine. – Joshua Z.H. Wu Jan 23 '13 at 00:58

I ran into similar problems recently with an Application I'm working on. I inherited the codebase and it had no tests setup so I had to build those in. I had tried using Apple's standard way of setting up the project according to their sample iPhoneTests project but it didn't work. I switched to GHUnit and I was able to get it working way easier. If you aren't too far along writing tests I would suggest switching.

The docs are really good and worked for me to run from command line and Jenkins. In my app I have setup a second target for testing by duplicating the main target, adding GHUnitiOS.framework to the build and adding additional sources for my unit test classes.

I know that may not be the answer you're looking for but I hope it helps!
