Warnings

[Heath]

I'm new to UISpec, and I notice that I get a lot of selector warnings
when I use it. Are there recommended compiler settings to get rid of
them? The only setting I could find that was related was about
undeclared selectors, but that only applies to selectors found with
@selector.

Alternatively, if methods from UIQuery returned id instead of UIQuery,
the compiler might be a little happier.

Please tell me if I'm way off, I'm still a little noobish on ObjC.

Thanks.

Currently UISpec leverages the dynamic nature of Objective-C, mainly
the methodSignatureForSelector: and forwardInvocation: methods. This
is very similar to what you would find when doing meta-programming in
Ruby with method_missing. I have never found a way to turn the
warnings completely off...I just hide them in XCode so they don't show
up in the code. It's very strange to me that Objective-C provides all
this dynamic functionality but when you try to use it you are made to
feel like you are doing something wrong.

One way I found of hiding the warnings is to define an unnamed
category on UIQuery.

In each of the spec files, I add:

@interface UIQuery ()
...
...
@end

Add all the methods that give selector warnings here.

I know this is a bit more work, but I really am uncomfortable seeing
the warnings or turning off all warnings.

Thanks. I thought of that too, but I was too lazy. I hope you'll
contribute this category back up to the project for others like me. :)

Likewise. I always read warnings - never know when you've misspelled a selector, and all those noisy warnings were getting in the way.
