how many times can you spot the letter "e" in:
it's another fastlane friday here on lboc. today we'll be looking at another awesome tool in the fastlane suite called scan. it provides an easy way to run the tests of our ios or os x app. let's dive in.
before we begin, let's look at why a tool like scan can be helpful.
xcode ships with a great command line tool called xcodebuild that allows to do all sorts of interesting things to our projects from the command line. it can be a bit verbose to configure though, and its output isn't very readable at a glance.
there's other tools like xcpretty that can help improve this output, but they take a fair amount of configuration as well.
that's where scan comes in. it takes care of all of this (plus a lot more) in one simple command: scan.
📣 can send well-formatted test results to slack. check out the slack_only_on_failure configuration option to only report failed tests.
scan also helps with resolving common xcode oddities like duplicated simulators or simulators that stop responding. finally, scan works great with tools continuous integration tools like jenkins and services like travis. happy testing!
