Question

Anyone get iCuke to work with XCode 4?

I’m trying to follow the iCuke tutorial at http://pragprog.com/magazines/2010-07/bdd-on-iphone-icuke

I get a time out error when trying to run the first feature:

Given "QuickContacts.xcodeproj" is loaded in the simulator # iCuke-0.6.3/lib/icuke/cucumber.rb:197
      execution expired (Timeout::Error)
      /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:64:in `start'
      /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:1035:in `request'
      features/add_contact.feature:7:in `Given "QuickContacts.xcodeproj" is loaded in the simulator'

I had all kinds of problems getting this (more precisely iCuke in general) to work a few days ago. I’m afraid in the end I abandonded it and went for Frank instead.

That said I had the same problem with Frank but I found a better solution to the problem than fixing the XCode integration (imho). Take a look at this project: I whipped up a cucumber step to boot my binaries in the simulator without the need for crufty Applescripts that convince XCode to do your bidding. Perhaps you can do something similar for iCuke?

For anyone interested…our step looks something like this:

def run_app_in_simulator
  target = ENV['TARGET_PATH'] // how you set this is down to you....
  if not system('ios-sim', 'launch', target, '--verbose', '--sdk', '4.2', '--exit', '--family', 'ipad')
    raise "Unable to launch simulator"
  end
end
