Test File Search - File Matching

[wojciech-kulik]

xcodebuild logs provide the following information about the test: target, test class, and test name. The plugin needs to find the file location based on that, which is not a trivial task.

In order to support multiple cases, the plugin allows you to choose the search mode. It offers four modes to find a test class. You can change it by setting test_search.file_matching.

• filename - it assumes that the test class name matches the file name. It finds matching files and then based on the build output, it checks whether the file belongs to the desired target.
• lsp - it uses LSP to find the class symbol. Each match is checked if it belongs to the desired target.
• filename_lsp first try filename mode, if it fails try lsp mode.
• lsp_filename first try lsp mode, if it fails try filename mode.

filename_lsp is the recommended mode, because filename search is faster than lsp, but you also have lsp fallback if there is no match from filename.

👉 If you notice that your test results don't appear or appear in incorrect files, try playing with these modes.

👉 If your test results don't appear, you can also try disabling test_search.target_matching. This way the plugin will always use the first match without checking its target.
