Getting the demo to work

[Sharkus]

Hello all,
Sorry for the very newbie like question. I've used a few other iOS
automation tools (Frank, FoneMonkey, UIAutomation, and I created my
own script to provide for a CI environment for UIAutomation) but I'm
having trouble getting the demo to work by following the instructions.
I see the following in terminal (Mac OS X 10.6.8)

markw-imac:~ markwarren$ ZUCCHINI_DEVICE='QA iPhone 4 5' zucchini run /
Users/markwarren/Downloads/CoreDataBooks/features/
/Users/markwarren/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352/gems/zucchini-ios-0.5.3/

`load'
from /Users/markwarren/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352/bin/zucchini:19

I've tried pointing it to the downloaded and expanded folder from the
demo, still no joy.

Any pointers as to what I am not doing?

Hi Mark,

Did you add your device to features/support/config.yml?

If yes, how does this file look now for you?

[Markus]

Hello,

So, which " features/support/config.yml?" should it be added to? the one inside the expanded "rajbeniwal-zucchini-demo-e7d24e5" folder, or the one inside the expanded "CoreDataBooks"

My assumption was to copy over the features folder from "rajbeniwal-zucchini-demo-e7d24e5" into CoreDataBooks, then build and install that on the device. After editing the config.yml file.

To answer your question the file looks like this:

app: CoreDataBooks.app

template: '/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate'

devices:

  QA iPhone 4 5:

   UDID  : cd03808e3f0a20ca9a4e26692dda71d446c7e028

   screen: retina_ios4

[Markus]

I've had a bit of a play around with spaces and such in the config.yml file and now when executing the command it does launch the app on the device, so I think I may have had some kind of formatting error in there.

Is there a reason for the spaces before the device name, and for the space between the label UDID and the colon?

Also, when this does run, what exactly should it do, and what should I see in terminal?

Digging deeper, I'm looking in:

/Users/markwarren/Downloads/CoreDataBooks/features/add_book/run_data/Run\ 1/Automation\ Results.plist

and I find the following info:

Exception raised while running script: Screen 'Books' not defined\n

So it looks as though an error is being encountered when instruments / uiautomation is doing something.

Yes, there needs to be an indent for the whole device section, so that
it's treated as a part of the devices collection.
I was able to reproduce your error by de-indenting the block.
The space between UDID and the colon doesn't matter.

What output are you currently getting in the terminal?
Ideally, you're supposed to see a test summary in it :) Also, a
browser window with an HTML report should pop up.

It looks like the scripts don't get compiled properly. Which `coffee --
version` are you using?
If it still doesn't work for you, would you please post your features/
add_book/run_data/feature.js file here?

Also, as we get it to work, please note that only retina_ios5
reference screenshots are bundled with the demo.
You may try renaming the directory into retina_ios4 (which will give
you some interesting diffs in the end) or just copy your new actual
screenshots from run_data/Run\ 1/ to reference/retina_ios5.

I am having issues in running the demo

I spent lot of time on this but could not get through

Pasting the error:

Please let me know how to resolve this.

Sandy, if I recall correctly ( I have my devices hardcoded to machines ) you should call zucchini like so:

$ ZUCCHINI_DEVICE="QA iPhone" zucchini run put_path_here...

[Sandy]

Thanks Dave

But now i'm getting 

Instruments Trace Error : Failed to start trace.

I have two Xcodes installed.But xcode-select -print-path shows the correct Xcode(4.6) path.Don't know what is causing this issue!

Any pointers will be helpful!

Thanks,

Sandhya

[Dave Stewart]

Sandy, that looks like the iOS 5.x / Xcode/Instruments 4.6 incompatibility problems that have cropped up recently.  What versions of iOS / Xcode are you using?

[Sandy]

Thanks Dave.

You are right i am able to run on iOS 6 device!!

I got element not found error which i resolved by adding delay in coffee script..

Finally I saw it running!!!

Thanks,

Sandhya

[Dave Stewart]

Good to hear, Sandy. :)

Hi there I'm facing the same problem here.
I successfully installed CoreDataBooks app on my iPad 3 iOS7.1 from Xcode 5.1.1
Followed the instructions and install Zucchini 0.7.3.
