Accessing user defined variables passed in from xcodebuild command line

Question

I am running my xctests using xcodebuild and need to pass in some environment variables. In the example below ACCOUNT_ID and HOS

Answer 1

What I did for my case is I used the xcodebuild build-for-testing command and create the xctestrun file then using xcodebuild test-without-building to run the test . in this case you can change the xctestrun file which has the environment variables in its plist before running your test .

so you need to run a script by using PlistBuddy to change your plist environment keys . for example to add a key :

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add :APPNAME-TARGETNAME:EnvironmentVariables:KEYNAME string 'VALUE'" "(Path to XCTestRun file)"
