I'm just starting an OS X document-based app using Core Data. To test my model relationships, I'd like to create some NSManagedObject entities, save them to a file, and read them back in an XCTestCase object. Using code like below, I can create entities in the managed object context, but I cannot figure out how to create a functioning persistent store coordinator and/or save to a file.
class MyTests: XCTestCase {
var doc: Document!
var moc: NSManagedObjectContext!
//...//
override func setUp() {
super.setUp()
doc = Document()
moc = doc.managedObjectContext
}
//...//
}
Problem with my initial approach above was that I was getting the managedObjectContext
before using configurePersistentStoreCoordinatorForURL
. Once I resolved that, the solution was fairly straightforward.
class DocTests : XCTestCase {
let testFileURL = NSURL.fileURLWithPath("/Users/Me/Temp/DocTests", isDirectory: false)
override func setUp() {
super.setUp()
}
func testWriteAndRead() {
writeSimpleTestDocument()
let doc = Document()
do {
try doc.readFromURL(testFileURL, ofType: "mydoctype")
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Failed to read, \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
}
let moc = doc.managedObjectContext!
// fetch from moc and verify test entities here ...
// ...
}
func writeSimpleTestDocument() {
// if test document exists, delete it
let fm = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
if fm.fileExistsAtPath(testFileURL.path!) {
do {
try fm.removeItemAtURL(testFileURL)
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Failed to remove, \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
}
}
let doc = Document()
do {
try doc.configurePersistentStoreCoordinatorForURL(testFileURL, ofType: "mydoctype", modelConfiguration: nil, storeOptions: nil)
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Failed to configure coordinator, \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
}
let moc = doc.managedObjectContext!
// create test entities in moc here ...
// ...
do {
try moc.save()
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Failed to save, \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
}
}
}
