Replace brittle localized-string selectors and broken wait helpers with a robust, identifier-first UI test infrastructure. All 41 UI tests pass on iOS 26.2 simulator (iPhone 17). Foundation: - BaseUITestCase with deterministic launch helpers (launchClean, launchOffline) - WaitHelpers (waitUntilHittable, waitUntilGone, tapWhenReady) replacing sleep() - UITestID enum mirroring AccessibilityIdentifiers from the app target - Screen objects: TabBarScreen, CameraScreen, CollectionScreen, TodayScreen, SettingsScreen, PlantDetailScreen Key fixes: - Tab navigation uses waitForExistence+tap instead of isHittable (unreliable in iOS 26 simulator) - Tests handle real app state (empty collection, no camera permission) - Increased timeouts for parallel clone execution - Added NetworkMonitorProtocol and protocol-typed DI for testability - Fixed actor-isolation issues in unit test mocks Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
1. **Every test class inherits `BaseUITestCase`** -- not `XCTestCase`.
|
|
2. **Launch via helpers** -- `launchClean()`, `launchWithMockData()`, `launchOffline()`.
|
|
3. **Locate elements by accessibility identifier** (`UITestID.*`), never by localized text.
|
|
4. **Use screen objects** for navigation and assertions (e.g., `TabBarScreen`, `CollectionScreen`).
|
|
5. **No `sleep()`** -- use `waitForExistence(timeout:)`, `waitUntilHittable()`, or `waitUntilGone()`.
|
|
6. **Tests must be deterministic** -- launch args control fixtures; no dependency on device state.
|
|
7. **One assertion focus per test** -- if testing collection empty state, don't also test search.
|
|
|
|
## Writing a New Test
|
|
|
|
### Step 1 - Add identifiers (if needed)
|
|
|
|
In the app source, add `.accessibilityIdentifier(AccessibilityIdentifiers.Foo.bar)`.
|
|
Mirror the ID in `UITestID.Foo.bar`.
|
|
|
|
### Step 2 - Create or extend a screen object
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
struct FooScreen {
|
|
let app: XCUIApplication
|
|
|
|
var myButton: XCUIElement {
|
|
app.buttons[UITestID.Foo.myButton]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@discardableResult
|
|
func waitForLoad(timeout: TimeInterval = 5) -> Bool {
|
|
app.navigationBars["Foo"].waitForExistence(timeout: timeout)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 3 - Write the test
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
final class FooFlowUITests: BaseUITestCase {
|
|
|
|
@MainActor
|
|
func testMyFeature() throws {
|
|
launchWithMockData()
|
|
let foo = TabBarScreen(app: app).tapFoo()
|
|
XCTAssertTrue(foo.waitForLoad())
|
|
foo.myButton.tapWhenReady()
|
|
// assert...
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 4 - Verify compile
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xcodebuild build-for-testing \
|
|
-project PlantGuide.xcodeproj \
|
|
-scheme PlantGuide \
|
|
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17' \
|
|
-quiet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Launch Configurations
|
|
|
|
| Helper | State | Data | Network |
|
|
|---------------------|-------------|------|---------|
|
|
| `launchClean()` | Fresh | None | Online |
|
|
| `launchWithMockData()` | Seeded | Mock | Online |
|
|
| `launchOffline()` | Fresh | None | Offline |
|
|
|
|
All launchers pass `-UITesting` and `-SkipOnboarding`.
|
|
|
|
## Wait Helpers (WaitHelpers.swift)
|
|
|
|
| Method | Purpose |
|
|
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------|
|
|
| `waitUntilHittable()` | Element exists AND is tappable |
|
|
| `waitUntilGone()` | Element has disappeared |
|
|
| `waitForValue(_:)` | Element value matches string |
|
|
| `tapWhenReady()` | Wait then tap |
|
|
| `app.waitForLaunch()` | Tab bar appeared after launch |
|
|
| `app.waitForElement(id:)` | Any descendant by identifier |
|
|
|
|
## Tab Labels
|
|
|
|
The app has 4 tabs. Use `UITestID.TabBar.*`:
|
|
|
|
| Tab | Label |
|
|
|-----------|---------------|
|
|
| Camera | `"Camera"` |
|
|
| Collection| `"Collection"`|
|
|
| Today | `"Today"` |
|
|
| Settings | `"Settings"` |
|
|
|
|
Note: The third tab is **"Today"** (not "Care").
