ARC Errors when trying to compile a spec file

[da...@puteko.com]

I am having difficulties getting Cedar tests installed and working. I am running OS X Yosemite with Xcode 6. After finally getting the file imports to work correctly, I am now getting about a dozen error messages when I try to run my spec suite that complain:

ARC forbids explicit send of autorelease

And other similar messages. It is obvious that the Cedar files are trying to use some pre-arc commands and my project is set to use ARC. Do I need to selectively disable ARC for this target? What is the workaround?

Thanks in advance.

Hey David,

How did you install Cedar? Did you link against the cedar static library?

It seems like the `CedarSpecSuite` target is including cedar's source directly.

The easiest thing is to follow one of the installation strategies outlined in the wiki: https://github.com/pivotal/cedar/wiki/Installation

Adding the cedar source directly to your own targets is also possible (as seems to be the case in the screenshot) but you will need to add -fno-objc-arc to many of the source files' compiler flags list in the containing target's "compile sources" build phase.

The nice thing about using cocoapods or a cross-project dependency is that these per-file settings are better contained and you don't need to deal with them directly unless you want to.
