SenTestCase in Xcode 3.2 and XCBuildLogCommandInvocationSection Errors

Question

I have a set of SenTestCase that are causing issues in XCode 3.2.4. When attempting to compile (with a very basic STFail(@"");) the following compiler errors occur:

An internal error occurred when handling command output: -
[XCBuildLogCommandInvocationSectionRecorder endMarker]:
unrecognized selector sent to instance

An internal error occurred when handling command output: -
[XCBuildLogCommandInvocationSection setTestsPassedString:]:
unrecognized selector sent to instance

I've included the SenTestkingKit.framework from '/Developer/Library/Frameworks' and just created by target by 'Targets > Add > New Target > Cocoa Touch > Unit Test Bundle'. Any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

I had the same issue when developing an iPad app. Try changing the Base SDK of your test target from iPhone Device 3.2 to iPhone Device 4.0.

Answer 2

It seems to be a regression with some part of the reporting code not respecting timezone issues. The output is tagged as ending before it began, so gets very confused and chokes.

One work-around, that I found somewhere on Google, is to change the Run Script stage of the target.

Change

"${SYSTEM_DEVELOPER_DIR}/Tools/RunUnitTests" 

to

"${SYSTEM_DEVELOPER_DIR}/Tools/RunUnitTests" 1> /tmp/RunUnitTests.out 

It’s working round the issue, rather than solving it, but does work.

Answer 3

I had the same problem with xcode 3.2.3 and iPad. This one helps me to solve it:

Project -> Edit Project Settings -> Build -> Base SDK = iPhone Device 4.0
Project -> Edit Project Settings -> Build -> iPhone OS Deployment Target = iPhone OS 3.2

Answer 4

I had the same issue and the topic is discussed in the other question.

The patch file is posted on the github. This helps me to solve it.
