Xcode 7 UI Testing target locale and region settings


I'm trying to set the language and the region of my UI Testing target, and unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.

I've tried both ways, first:

And I try this other way:

Each way resulting in the UI Testing still happening in English. Moreover, when I hit the record button, it runs in French...

So if I do something wrong, I would be happy to know!

Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • I have figured it out. I set the locale settings in the launchArguments for testing temporary in Xcode.

    override func setUp() {
        super.setUp()
    
        // Put setup code here. This method is called before the invocation of each test method in the class.
    
        // In UI tests it is usually best to stop immediately when a failure occurs.
        continueAfterFailure = false
        app = XCUIApplication()
        app.launchArguments = [
            "-inUITest",
            "-AppleLanguages",
            "(de)",
            "-AppleLocale",
            "de_DE"
        ]
    

    For CI I use fastlane from Felix Krause and get localized screenshots with snapshot.
