Type 'XCTContext' has no member 'runActivity'

[verodanilova]

Hey! After the update to v. 9.5.0, our snapshot tests target doesn't work because of a compiler error:

***/Pods/Nimble-Snapshots/Nimble_Snapshots/HaveValidSnapshot.swift:105:20: error: type 'XCTContext' has no member 'runActivity'
        XCTContext.runActivity(named: name) { activity in
        ~~~~~~~~~~ ^~~~~~~~~~~

Could you please check what's wrong? 🙏

Hi @verodanilova, sorry to hear you're having trouble. I need some more information to help us track this down.

Can you confirm your integration with the library? CocoaPods, right? Anything weird in your Podfile? Which previous version were you using that did work? 9.4.0? Xcode and iOS target deployment versions? Thanks!

[verodanilova]

Hey @ashfurrow ! Thanks for your answer.

• We use CocoaPods 1.11.3, seems that nothing weird in Podfile
• This started to happen after the following pods update:
  • Nimble (10.0.0) -> Nimble (11.2.1)
  • Nimble-Snapshots (9.4.0) -> Nimble-Snapshots (9.5.0)
  • Quick (5.0.1) -> Quick (6.0.1)
• XCode 14.0.1 and iOS 15 deployment target

Hey @ashfurrow ! Do you have any news so far?

[ashfurrow]

Hi. Sorry I don’t have the capacity to work on this right now. I’d welcome a pull request but I can’t troubleshoot right now.

[verodanilova]

Hey! No problem! Then I will wait for your answer as soon as you have time 🙏

Hi @verodanilova!

Do you mind to publish a minimum working example showing the failure? That way, other people could take a look if they have time.

[verodanilova]

Hey @hfehrmann ! I'd love to, but I can't because it's a commercial project and I'm forbidden to share the code, sorry 😞

[hfehrmann]

@verodanilova I was thinking in sharing an example project, without any private code.

I am not sure what the core reason is, but this PR helped me to solve the issue https://github.com/pointfreeco/swift-snapshot-testing/pull/455/files

For some reason Nimble-Snapshots does not have ENABLE_TESTING_SEARCH_PATHS enabled. A local project workaround is

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      if target.name == 'Nimble-Snapshots'
        config.build_settings['ENABLE_TESTING_SEARCH_PATHS'] = 'YES'
      end
    end
  end
end

To fix the core issue we need to update the podspec file from

  s.pod_target_xcconfig = { 'ENABLE_BITCODE' => 'NO' }

to

  s.pod_target_xcconfig = { 
    'ENABLE_BITCODE' => 'NO',
    'ENABLE_TESTING_SEARCH_PATHS' => 'YES',
  }

Here is an example of how it was done in the Nimble https://github.com/Quick/Nimble/blob/main/Nimble.podspec

And here is a pull request https://github.com/ashfurrow/Nimble-Snapshots/pull/276
