got expected to record a snapshot in Optional about nimble-snapshots HOT 10 CLOSED

Recording snapshots will fail the test, if you change that to haveValidSnapshot then it should work 👍

Hi Ash,
I did try both. When I run recordSnapshot, I don't see any newly created image (.png file) of the view.
When I run haveValidSnapshot, that also fails (because there is no reference image).

On a separate note --
What's the default directory for the reference images?
From the README, I think it's ReferenceImages in Test directory. Does the ReferenceImages dir get created automatically, or we need to create it? Because I didn't see any directory getting created after I ran the recordSnapshot.
Even after I create it manually, I don't see any images in it after recordSnapshot.

I think it's created automatically, did you try a git status to see if any new folders were created?

from nimble-snapshots.

I just ran git status and there aren't any newly created folders.

Do you know why recordSnapshot is not creating any images?
Any easy way to diagnose it?

At that point, the problem could be with FBSnapshots - I'm afraid without any useful error messages from your logs - you're on your own, throw some breakpoints around

Let me see if FBSnapshots work by itself in my project.
I will let you know. Thanks for the quick response. 👍

So far, I have been running my tests on a real iPhone.
Then, I read on the FBSnapshotTestCase page:
Your unit test must be an "application test", not a "logic test." (That is, it must be run within the Simulator so that it has access to UIKit.)

Not sure what it means. But, when I ran a test with FBSnapshotTestcase on a simulator, it worked!
Then, I ran Nimble_Snapshots on a simulator and it worked too.

Can you please explain why it only works on a simulator? Is it expected to work when running tests on real hardware?

from nimble-snapshots.

Likely because FBSnapshots needs access to your source code to find the refernce images, it can't get the code if it's running on a different computer

re: application vs logic tests - app tests are run inside your application, logic tests are tests that don't need to run inside an application
