XCUITest Class teardown isnt deleting the app. But works if its instance teardown. What am I doing wrong?

Question

I have a class teardown which is trying to remove the app, but it doesn\'t recognize app.terminate().

class DeviceSettingsUtilities : UITestUtilities {
func remo         


        

Answer 1

This seems like a bug in latest Xcode 10. XCUIApplication.terminate() doesn't seem to work in tearDown() when declared as class.

This can be solved in two ways:

The first option is to use:

override func tearDown() {
    XCUIApplication().terminate()
    super.tearDown()
}

instead of:

override class func tearDown() {…} 

Or, terminate the app differently (press home button, open different app...). However, I would use the first way.

Also consider reporting this to Apple, so they can fix it.

Edit: This has nothing to do with app state (XCUIApplication().state.rawValue), since it is same in test and in tearDown() (4 = running foreground). Also - official documentation says that .terminate() will terminate app, which has a debug session with Xcode, but the debug session is active in tearDown() as well. So it is really probably a bug in Xcode.
