Demo project for the Cuckoo mocking framework

Cuckoo Demo

Introduction

Cuckoo is a mocking framework for Swift projects.

The main advantage is that it generates mocks straight from source code, which speeds up development time and makes writing tests much more enjoyable.

Project structure

Cuckoo is added via Cocoapods.

It is invoked from the Scripts/run_cuckoo.sh, because it's sometimes convenient to be able to run it even if the Xcode project fails to build.

run_cuckoo.sh is added as a main target run script phase. This helps to keep mocks and test code up to date when doing extensive development.

run_cuckoo.sh

Needs minimal editing to set directories up when adding to a new project.

It searches the project for swift files containing // cuckoo: generate. All files containing the string get passed to the cuckoo script.

For swiftlint: disable all and swiftformat: disable all are also added to the generated file, so Xcode warnings are supressed and no formatting is done on the file.

Using Cuckoo output in tests

Using a wrapper helps avoiding import Cuckoo in all the test files and also setup code can be reused.
