I found a command-line tool called "xctest" that apparently can run the unit tests in your project. This executable lives here:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xctest
When I try to run this executable on my xctest bundle, I'm using:
$ ./xctest /Users/myusername/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-abcdefghijklmnop/Build/Products/Debug/MyAppTests.xctest
However, I get the following output:
Test Suite '(null)' started at 2013-11-14 21:16:45 +0000
Test Suite '(null)' finished at 2013-11-14 21:16:45 +0000.
Executed 0 tests, with 0 failures (0 unexpected) in 0.000 (0.001) seconds
There's no man page for xctest, as far as I can tell, but entering just ./xctest at the command-line yields:
Usage: xctest [--test Self | All | None | <TestCaseClassName/testMethodName>] <path of unit to be tested>
In particular, I'd like to be able to test just a particular method in a test class, which is why I'd like to use this xctest command.
I do see that there is a way to run all the tests from the command line like:
$ xcodebuild test -scheme MyApp
This runs all the unit tests and works properly (I see my unit test results, unlike when using xctest). But I'm interested in being able to run a single test method from the command-line, such as:
$ ./xctest --test MyAppTests/testExample /Users/myusername/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-abcdefghijklmnop/Build/Products/Debug/MyAppTests.xctest
