AutoMate AppBuddy

AppBuddy is a helper framework for UI automation tests, designed to work with the AutoMate. It can disable animations in the application and manage events, reminders and contacts.

Installation

The most convenient way to install it is by using CocoaPods with Podfile:

pod 'AutoMate-AppBuddy'

or using Carthage and add a line to Cartfile.private:

github "PGSSoft/AutoMate-AppBuddy"

Cartfile.private should be used because AutoMate framework will be used by UI Tests target only not by the tested application.

Note

AppBuddy should be linked with target application, not with the test target.

Usage

Full documentation is available at https://pgssoft.github.io/AutoMate-AppBuddy/.

1. Duplicate existing application target.

2. Import AutoMate_AppBuddy framework to app delegate.

   import AutoMate_AppBuddy

3. Setup LaunchEnvironmentManager in application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:).

   let launchEnvironmentManager = LaunchEnvironmentManager()
   launchEnvironmentManager.add(handler: defaultEventKitHander, for: .events)
   launchEnvironmentManager.add(handler: defaultEventKitHander, for: .reminders)
   launchEnvironmentManager.add(handler: defaultContactsHander, for: .contacts)
   launchEnvironmentManager.add(handler: defaultIsInUITestHandler, for: .isInUITest)
   launchEnvironmentManager.add(handler: AnimationHandler(), for: .animation)
   launchEnvironmentManager.setup()

Development

Full documentation is available at https://pgssoft.github.io/AutoMate-AppBuddy/.

If you want to handle your custom launch environments, you have to implement Handler protocol, e.g.

struct CustomHandler: Handler {
    func handle(key: String, value: String) {
        if value == "production" {

        }
    }
}

launchEnvironmentManager.add(handler: CustomHandler(), for: "SERVER")
