Question

iPhone sdk 3.1.2, xcode 3.1.4, mac os x 10.5.8,

I’m a newbie using OCUnit comes with iphone sdk. The only error i get is:

error: Test rig ‘/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.1.2.sdk/Developer/usr/bin/otest’ existed abnormally with code 139 (it may have crashed).

Does anyone know what it is? Thanks.

EDIT: I found the cause. I put very stupid code in the -dealloc of the class I was writing unit tests for. Like this:

- (void)dealloc {
    [someObject1 dealloc]; //wtf, dealloc?
    [someObject2 dealloc]; //wtf, dealloc?
    [super dealloc];
}

And sometimes this will cause code 139, sometimes 138.

Answer 1

When I’ve seen this, it usually means that once of my unit tests has faulty logic and has caused otest to crash. This isn’t a terribly helpful answer, because code 139 isn’t a terribly helpful error code. Sorry!
