Running individual XCTest (UI, Unit) test cases for iOS apps from the command line

Question

Is it possible to run individual test cases, or individual test suites, from an iOS app test target, instead of all the test cases, from a command line interface?

Answer 1

To run an individual test case you can use -only-testing

xcodebuild test 
-workspace .xcworkspace  
-scheme "" 
-destination '' 
-only-testing 

//for example
xcodebuild test 
-workspace SampleApp.xcworkspace  
-scheme "SampleAppTest" 
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 11 Pro Max,OS=13.5' 
-only-testing SampleAppTest/SampleAppTest/testExample
-only-testing SampleAppTest/SampleAppTest/testExample2

-only-testing://

• MyXCTargetForTest - target
• MyTestSuite - class_name
• MyTestMethod - test_name

For example if Test Navigator looks like

the parameter will have the following type

-only-testing:SampleAppTest/SampleAppTest/testExample

If you want to add an additional test case you can add one more -only-testing

Also you can skip a test using: -skip-testing
