Thoughts on using Injection against testing schemes #77

Closed orta closed 8 years ago

orta commented 8 years ago

A little bit off-topic, but still on-topic.

I've been wondering that Artsy should start looking into doing injection based testing, e.g instead of the XCTest runner being a synchronous:

app start -> tests start -> tests end  -> app ends

it could be more like

app start 
  -> tests start -> tests end
  -> tests start -> tests end
  -> tests start -> tests end
  ...
app ends

Do you think this is something I could build on top of Reloader.m or would it be better to look into expanding on top/alongside of Injection ( given that it would need a similar "server" architecture that Injection has to receive calls from a plugin )

It's not something I have a tonne of time for right now, but I will with time. So more just opening an idea to try and get some advice.

Go for it!

Then I'll be more specific, should I try build this in to injection, or could you imagine it working (reliably) as a separate thing?

Might be better to make a fresh start, the injection code is getting kind-of crufty. All you need really is Reloader.m and a build log parser which you can get from https://github.com/johnno1962/Refactorator

hosted tests are the next big step to happen, it's something that I've been thinking about for a while, if you can make it happen @orta that would be huge :)

Alright, this discussion doesn't need to be here, there's both a repo, and an issue for my notes over at https://github.com/artsy/mobile/issues/26#issuecomment-229685120
