A simple "eventually" method to aide asynchronous testing with XCTest
import XCTest
extension XCTestCase {
/// Simple helper for asynchronous testing.
/// Usage in XCTestCase method:
/// func testSomething() {
/// doAsyncThings()
/// eventually {
/// /* XCTAssert goes here... */
/// }
/// }
/// Cloure won't execute until timeout is met. You need to pass in an
/// timeout long enough for your asynchronous process to finish, if it's
/// expected to take more than the default 0.01 second.
///
/// - Parameters:
/// - timeout: amout of time in seconds to wait before executing the
/// closure.
/// - closure: a closure to execute when `timeout` seconds has passed
func eventually(timeout: TimeInterval = 0.01, closure: @escaping () -> Void) {
let expectation = self.expectation(description: "")
expectation.fulfillAfter(timeout)
self.waitForExpectations(timeout: 60) { _ in
closure()
}
}
}
extension XCTestExpectation {
/// Call `fulfill()` after some time.
///
/// - Parameter time: amout of time after which `fulfill()` will be called.
func fulfillAfter(_ time: TimeInterval) {
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + time) {
self.fulfill()
}
}
