I'm looking for a way (if it's even possible) to hierarchically group my XCTestCase
s. I've been googling and the only somewhat similar thing I found is Grouping Tests into Substeps with Activities, which is not what I want (grouping individual tests and groups into other groups).
For example, here's what the thing I want to do looks like in other languages, e.g. Dart (but it's very similar with Jest in JavaScript land as well):
void main() {
group('Top group', () {
group('nested group 1', () {
test('test case 1', () {});
test('test case 2', () {});
// ...
});
group('some other nested group', () { /* test cases here ... */ });
});
}
The structure is detected by the tooling such as IDEs:
Is it possible to accomplish this with XCTestCase
? Ideally the solution could be accomplished entirely at runtime, it could even involve some dark magic with Objective-C runtime, as long as it had a chance to work.
If it's not possible, I'd like to hear that as well. Thanks in advance!
With plain XCTest, no. But with the third-party library Quick, yes. https://github.com/Quick/Quick
