I recently ran into a problem trying to set up automated unit testing for a iOS based Swift Package. There are a couple of different ways of creating packages or libraries of code for an iOS project. The Swift Package Manager has become one of the more popular methods of creating reusable modules.
The Swift Package Manager, or SPM for short, provides an excellent way of authoring and distributing these modules. SPM also is designed to be cross platform in the since that swift packages can be share between the macOS, tvOS, watchOS and iOS. The Swift command line tool has a built in test runner that you can use to execute your unit tests. But what happens if you are using dependencies that are iOS only. In other words, they can not run on the Mac using the built in test runner.
Incorporating Fastlane
Fastlane is a automation tool for Android and iOS developers looking to streamline builds, testing, automated screenshots and builds for your project. In this post I will use Fastlane in combination with SPM to create a way for running unit tests on iOS only packages.
Installing Fastlane
Fastlane requires that you use a Mac with Ruby 2.5 or newer. Once you have validated that you have a new enough version of Ruby, you can install Fastlane.
- Install Bundler by running
gem install bundler. - Create a ./Gemfile in the root directory of your project with the content.
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "fastlane"
You can also install Fastlane using Homebrew by running the following brew command:
$ brew install fastlane
Adding fastlane to your Swift Package
From your terminal, navigate to the root folder for your package and type the following command:
$ fastlane init
Select manual setup, which should be option number four. This will create a fastlane folder in your package folder. In this folder you should see an Appfile and a Fastfile.
Swift Packages and Xcode
Xcode no longer requires an xcodeproj project folder in order to open packages. You can open your project by either typing xed . in the terminal at the root of your project or by opening your folder directly in Xcode. In order to run tests in Fastlane, we will need a xcodeproj folder. Here is the SPM command that you can use to generate a the xcodeproj folder.
swift package generate-xcodeproj
You should see a message in your terminal that says something like:
warning: Xcode can open and build Swift Packages directly. 'generate-xcodeproj' is no longer needed and will be deprecated soon.
generated: ./YourPackageName.xcodeproj
Configure fastlane
Edit the Fastfile for your testing. We will create a lane called tests. By default the Fastfile will look like the following example.
# This file contains the fastlane.tools configuration
# You can find the documentation at https://docs.fastlane.tools
#
# For a list of all available actions, check out
#
# https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions
#
# For a list of all available plugins, check out
#
# https://docs.fastlane.tools/plugins/available-plugins
#
# Uncomment the line if you want fastlane to automatically update itself
# update_fastlane
default_platform(:ios)
platform :ios do
desc "Description of what the lane does"
lane :custom_lane do
# add actions here: https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions
end
end
Change the file so it looks like the following example:
default_platform(:ios)
platform :ios do
desc "This lane is used for running unit tests"
lane :tests do
puts "running our tests!"
end
end
If you want to run a Fastlane lane for tests, this can be done by typing fastlane ios tests. Our current Fastfile only outputs the text running our tests!. We are going to change the Fastfile so that it does the following three actions. We will be telling fastlane to create a new xcodeproj folder for our swift package, then to run our unit tests and finally remove the xcodeproj folder we just created.
Edit your Fastfile so it looks like the following example:
default_platform(:ios)
platform :ios do
desc "This lane is used for running unit tests"
lane :tests do
puts "running a our tests"
spm(
command: "generate-xcodeproj"
)
run_tests(
project: "./<NameOfYourPackage>.xcodeproj",
devices: ["iPhone 14 Pro Max"]
)
sh("rm", "-rf", "<NameOfYourPackage>.xcodeproj")
end
end
The first part of this tests lane uses the spm action to generate the xcodeproj folder needed to run the tests. The next action is the run_tests action which will compile our package and run the any tests. The last part uses the sh action we are using for running the shell script command to delete our xcodeproj folder since it is not needed other than o run the Fastlane unit tests.
Now when you run the tests lane, you should get output that looks like the following:
[✔] 🚀

[15:30:11]: fastlane.tools finished successfully 🎉
Fastlane will also generate three report files under the following paths:
/fastlane/report.xml
/fastlane/test_output/report.html
/fastlane/test_output/report.junit
Conclusion
I am not sure how I managed to build mobile apps for the last couple of years without using Fastlane. Fastlane incorporates many essential tools for building, testing and deploying your applications. It can also be extended to write your own plugins.
Fastlane is build on top of Ruby, so it helps to have some experience with Ruby when working with Fastlane, but it is not necessary. If you want to write Fastlane plugins, it might come in handy to know a little Ruby.
