OCMock for iPhone (iOS4, Xcode 3.2.3)

Question

I have the latest version of OCMock (1.55) and Xcode 3.2.3.

My project created the goal of a test suite. What is the best way to use OCMock in my tests? When I add OCMock.framework to the test package, this build error appears:

"_OBJC_CLASS_$_OCMockObject", referenced from: objc-class-ref-to-OCMockObject in NotificationTests.o ld: symbol(s) not found collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 

Answer 1

I had the same problem, here is how I solved it:

• Delete ocmock.framework, the phase of the copy file, and any search path associated with the ocmock header.

• check out the latest version from ocmock svn repo: http://svn.mulle-kybernetik.com/OCMock/trunk

• Create an OCMockPhoneSim Target

• Copy the libOCMock.a folder and the headers to the project folder

• add libOCMock.a to your infrastructure and add the link to the headers folder in the search path of the target library.

Then it works!

Hope this helps.

See Colin Barrett's “OCMock and iPhone” tutorial .

Answer 3

user3135374's answer basically helped me achieve this.

Additional Information:

• The SDK should be iPhone Simulator 4.0, because 3.2 has an error due to which it cannot correctly perform unit tests. Many complain about it. I installed this as BaseSDK for my Unit Test goal.

• You need to add other linker flags "-ObjC -force_load $ (PROJECT_DIR) /path/to/libOCMock.a" to your Unit Test target, otherwise you will get a lot of runtime "unrecognized selector sent to instance" errors

• If you want a target that has unit tests you can actually debug (set breakpoints), follow this guide: http://www.lostechies.com/blogs/scottdensmore/archive/2010/07/24/debugging- unit-tests-for-the-iphone-ipad.aspx

This thread on the OCMock forums has an example project that you can use:
