Oshinko

Gherkin (Cucumber) for iOS UIAutomation

Oshinko allows you to write features in Gherkin that will execute code with iOS UIAutomation.

For example:

Scenario: Going to the New Players screen
	Given I am on the "Players" tab
	When I tap the right navigation bar
	Then I should see a navigation bar with title "Add Player"
	

Step Definitions are defined in Javascript:

Oshinko.given(/I am on the "([^\"]*)" tab/, function(window, tabName) {

	var tabBar = window.tabBar();
	tabBar.buttons().firstWithName(tabName).tap();
    
});

Oshinko.then(/I should see a navigation bar with title "([^\"]*)"/, function(window, captures) {

	var navBar = window.navigationBar();
	var title = captures[0];
	assertEquals(title, navBar.name());

});

Install

You should use git submodules to add Oshinko to your project

git submodule add git://github.com/sens3/oshinko.git MyApp/UIAutomationTests/js/oshinko

Oshinko itself uses git submodules for it's one dependency: tuneup_js. Thus, make sure to install the submodules by running:

git submodule update --init --recursive
 

Oshinko ships with a bunch of default step definitions, like the one above. And tuneup's assertion methods are used to implement them.

Setup

Oshinko expects a certain directory structure:

MyApp
	- UIAutomationTests
		- /js
			- /oshinko
			- /step_definitions # your step definitions, if you have any
			- main.js # the file you will feed to UIAutomation
		- /features
			- foo.feature
			- bar.feature

Your main script should look like this:

// Load Oshinko
#import "oshinko/oshinko.js"

// Load your step definitions (if you have any)
#import "step_definitions/mine.js"

// Run Oshinko
Oshinko.run();

Run

Simply execute the included bash script:

./MyApp/UIAutomationTests/js/oshinko/bin/run

You might have to edit this, based on your workspace/project structure.

.gitignore

You might want to add these two to your .gitignore:

.oshinko
automation_results

Notes

Not all of Gherkin is yet implemented. What you can do is the basic Given/When/Then/And.

The app is restarted for each feature, but not for every scenario.

Oshinko does not magically fix UIAutomation. Yet.
