UITests failing because of push notification popup

[ilandbt]

Hi, My UITests are failing so i cant get any screenshots. Its failing because of the push notification popup.

I tried disabling the registration with the "FASTLANE_SNAPSHOT" flag but its not working (the popup is still popping).

        if !NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().boolForKey("FASTLANE_SNAPSHOT") {
            // runtime check that we are in snapshot mode

            let type: UIUserNotificationType = [UIUserNotificationType.Badge, UIUserNotificationType.Alert, UIUserNotificationType.Sound];
            let setting = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: type, categories: nil);
            UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(setting);
            UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerForRemoteNotifications();
        }

This is a regression, BTW. I just ran into this after updating the support file for the latest version from a version about three months ago.

@ahknight That's because it's a different technology now, snapshot now uses UI Tests and not UI Testing anymore.

Having the same issue! Would appreciate a workaround!

[ahknight]

What I wound up doing was Volkswagoning it and only asking for push permissions if I wasn't testing (I looked at the process arguments in my case).

Ok, good workarround. thanks @ahknight

I think it makes no sense to ask push notifications on simulator, you can use

if !(TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR)

endif

[ahknight]

That's probably a better idea, as long as you're not automating devices as well (that is, snapshot is outside your normal UI tests).

i agree with @makadaw that asking for push on the simulator is usually uncalled for. but if it is necessary, i would recommend using some sort of check to verify that you are not running a test before asking for push permissions.

@makadaw i added the code like you suggested but the alert is still popping.

        #if !(TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR)
            let type: UIUserNotificationType = [UIUserNotificationType.Badge, UIUserNotificationType.Alert, UIUserNotificationType.Sound];
            let setting = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: type, categories: nil);
            UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(setting);
            UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerForRemoteNotifications();
        #endif

@ilandbt Do you check it on simulator? Can you add breakpoint before this block and check is this code actual run?
