Generate warnings when focusing tests with Specta

specta-focus-check.sh

#!/bin/sh

FOCUS="fit\(|fdescribe\(|fcontext\("
find "${SRCROOT}/Path/To/Tests" \( -name "*.m" \) -print0 | xargs -0 egrep --with-filename --line-number --only-matching "($FOCUS).*\$" | perl -p -e "s/($FOCUS)/ warning: \$1/"

In your test bundle target Build Phases:

• Add a run script phase "Specta Focus Check"
• Paste in the contents of the above script
• Be sure to update the path to point to the directory of your tests

Alternatively (for better diffs)

• Add the script as a new tracked file in your project directory
• Add a run script phase "Specta Focus Check"
• Invoke the script from the run script phase:

"${SRCROOT}/Path/To/Tests/BuildScripts/specta-focus-check.sh"

Result

This is awesome!! 😍

I wonder, should Specta define fit and friends as macros such that they could add #warning pragmas? That would display warnings inline. Separate function definitions would have to be kept for Swift support, though.

This might also make a great Clang plugin. /cc @kastiglione

Cedar's approach to this is to treat the overall test run as a failure if any tests are marked as focused. This lets a CI script flag the build if a commit slips through with a focused test.

@briancroom that's really neat. But when running via Xcode, does that display a "tests failed" overlay?

@modocache Love the idea of including it in Specta!
