How to use xcodebuild with -only-testing and -skip-testing flag?

Question

I\'ve noticed that there are two options in xcodebuild\'s man page.

-only-testing:TEST-IDENTIFIER       

constr

Answer 1

Like what Marcio said, it's a path like string.

For example, say you have a scheme named MyScheme, a test target MyUITests, and testing class LoginTest, then testing method testUserLogin, to run only the method, you can run

xcodebuild -workspace Envoy.xcworkspace \
    -scheme MyScheme \
    -sdk iphonesimulator \
    -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPad Air 2,OS=10.1'
    '-only-testing:MyUITests/LoginTest/testUserLogin' test

Likewise, if you want to run all tests under LoginTest, here you run

xcodebuild -workspace Envoy.xcworkspace \
    -scheme MyScheme \
    -sdk iphonesimulator \
    -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPad Air 2,OS=10.1'
    '-only-testing:MyUITests/LoginTest' test
