Do OCUnit and OCMock work on the iPhone SDK?

Question

I simply could not make it work, and I am wondering if I am wasting my time, or if I am simply stupid!

Sorry I don't have the exact error I have right now. But I just want to know if it work or not!

Answer 1

I don't know whether OCUnit works with iPhone, but there is an iPhoneUnitTesting framework available from Google Code.

Answer 2

I created some OCUnit tests for an iPhone app, but in order to run the tests I had to compile for Mac OS X, not iPhone OS, and switching back and forth was a pain.

The Google framework is cleaner, they can run the tests in the simulator or on the device.

Answer 3

I got hung up on the same thing. I finally found the answer on Mitch's World then reposted the solution on my site. The quick fix is to add the OCMock.framework folder to /Library/frameworks and reference it from there. For whatever reason XCode doesn't want to add folders external to its natural framework seach to the path. Until I find out more this is the best we can do.

Answer 4

Not so sure about OCMock, but OCUnit support is now included in iPhone 2.2 SDK.

You can download an example application from Stanford iPhone Application Programming CS193P Lecture 19.

Answer 5

Colin Barrett has a blog post about OCMock and the iPhone.

Answer 6

Sen:te (the creator of the framework) explains how to use OCUnit with an iPhone project: http://www.sente.ch/s/?p=535&lang=en.

Answer 7

Take a look here. You'll find a Xcode template you can use that has OCUnit and OCMock all ready setup for you.

Answer 8

At the time of writing OCUnit "just works" on the iPhone. Apple are shipping templates that works out of the box.
