Installation via CocoaPods is Broken

[rogerluan]

Follow up on #88 and #89

#89 actually resolved the build-time issue but it actually crashes the app during runtime.

I tried importing XCTest.framework in my project (embed & sign, embed without signing, do not embed), but none of these options worked for me.

[rogerluan]

Temporary solution was to downgrade to https://github.com/WeTransfer/Mocker/releases/tag/2.2.0

Bump

[letatas]

Any news on this problem... I can't run any app with Mocker installed via CocoaPods, error appears at launch:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/XCTest.framework/XCTest
  Referenced from: /Users/.../myapp.app/myapp
  Reason: image not found

[rogerluan]

This is still a problem 😕 can we prevent the bot from auto closing issues @AvdLee ? It's not working correctly, it's not respecting the rule it says 😖

[AvdLee]

@letatas @rogerluan sorry for this. Unfortunately, we currently don't have time to add better support for CocoaPods. We're using SPM heavily and recommend using that instead. I understand this isn't always possible, so feel free to open a PR to fix support for CocoaPods accordingly.

[rogerluan]

Bump, don't close 🙏

[AvdLee]

@rogerluan it's too bad it hasn't been picked up yet, I feel sad about that! Have you had time to look up a potential solution to this by any chance?

[rogerluan]

Thanks for the follow up @AvdLee - I haven't investigated the CocoaPods issue because I was able to upgrade my whole infrastructure to use SPM instead 🙈 So that became a no-problem to me 😅

[BasThomas]

Will see if I can take a look at this one.

Alright, this is the output from pod install, given the following podfile:

Podfile

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'MyCoolProject' do
  # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  pod 'Mocker', '~> 2.2.0'

  target 'MyCoolProjectTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

  target 'MyCoolProjectUITests' do
    # Pods for testing
  end

end

[BasThomas]

After that, however, I can import Mocker in my tests, use it, and build it for testing. Can you provide (more) steps to reproduce?

[rogerluan]

@BasThomas Thanks for helping us get to the bottom of this issue! 🙏

The issue I'm describing only happens after #89 got merged, so you gotta use a more recent version of Mocker (2.2.0 is quite dated) - in fact, I posted here that using 2.2.0 would make everything work as expected again #94 (comment) 😄. Here's a project using 2.5.3 where this issue can be reproduced:

mocker-test.zip

The crashlog from the app launch (I ran on Simulator, but it crashes on physical devices as well):

[BasThomas]

d'oh. I see. Just pasted the version 2.20 from the README; I guess we should update that as well. Will try again!

[BasThomas]

Trying this again...

Podfile

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'MyCoolProject' do
  # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  pod 'Mocker', '~> 2.5.2'

  # Pods for MyCoolProject

  target 'MyCoolProjectTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

  target 'MyCoolProjectUITests' do
    # Pods for testing
  end

end

[BasThomas]

OK, recreating this now. Looking into it.

[BasThomas]

It's interesting how this runtime crash occurs even when nothing has been imported related to Mocker.

[BasThomas]

I think what we'd need to do is to weak-link XCTest. Let me put up a pull request. This will require a new release, though.

[BasThomas]

... or maybe that's not the full fix. Womp womp

This does seem to work after all!

The pull request #102 that closed this issue was merged and released as part of Release 2.5.4 🚀
Please let us know if the functionality works as expected as a reply here. If it does not, please open a new issue. Thanks!

Little does the bot know that the CocoaPods release itself isn't exactly out yet, but 😛

It should! CI pushes the release to the CocoaPods branch too

[BasThomas]

oh wow! 😀

[BasThomas]

Hm, 2.5.2 is the latest available on CocoaPods https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs/tree/master/Specs/2/a/c/Mocker

[BasThomas]

So perhaps the bot needs a visit to the doctor. 😛

[AvdLee]

The bot is not drunk, just a bit shy to tell us!
