calabash ios setup

These are the instructions for the calabash-ios setup tool. The setup tool is out-of-date and broken for Xcode >= 6 for some Xcode projects.

• calabash setup adds calabash.framework to Watch extension instead of the app #832
• calabash-ios setup fails on fresh Xcode 6 or Xcode 7 project #533
• other linker flags are not correct after calabash-ios setup #154

As you can imagine, any tool that edits an Xcode project file is difficult to maintain.

Setup: Fast Track

The fast-track instructions are EXPERIMENTAL.

If it doesn't work in your project, see one of the tutorials mentioned on the Tutorial: How to add Calabash to Xcode page.

1. In a terminal, go to your iOS project

   • cd path-to-my-ios-project (i.e. directory containing .xcodeproj file)

2. Install calabash-cucumber gem (this make take some time because of dependencies)

   • gem install calabash-cucumber

3. Setup your project for Calabash-iOS.

   • calabash-ios setup Answer the questions and read the output :)

4. Generate a skeleton features folder for your tests

   • calabash-ios gen

5. In Xcode, build your project using the -cal scheme

   • 

6. Run the generated test!

   • cucumber

If all goes well, you are now ready to write your first test. Start by editing the file features/my_first.feature.
