Running Xcode target from command line

Question

I am new to running unit tests using Catch.

I am using the Catch to run unit tests in my Xcode project. I have added a target to my project which includes my Catch files and tests cases. Selecting that target and running from Xcode runs fine. I am now trying to get it to run from the command line which will be the way it is run from Jenkins. I have a shell script that contains:

xcodebuild clean install
xcodebuild -target TestApp  -configuration “Debug”  -sdk iphonesimulator7.1   CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=TestBuild ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO

The result is:

** INSTALL SUCCEEDED **

Build settings from command line:
    CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR = TestBuild
    ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH = NO
    SDKROOT = iphonesimulator7.1

--- xcodebuild: WARNING: Configuration “Release” is not in the project. Building default configuration.

=== BUILD TARGET CreativeSDKTest OF PROJECT CreativeSDKImage WITH THE DEFAULT CONFIGURATION (Release) ===

Check dependencies

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **

But the application doesn’t launch in the simulator. Maybe I’m not seeing the obvious but from all the docs I’ve read, this should launch the application.

BTW, I've tried adding the line: ./TestBuild/CreativeSDKTest.app/CreativeSDKTest but I get this as a result: dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/UIKit Referenced from: /Users/mscarafo/mscarafo_mscarafo-osx_278/ImageSDK.git/CreativeSDK/source/elements/image/build/./TestBuild/CreativeSDKTest.app/CreativeSDKTest Reason: image not found ./unit_test.sh: line 10: 65751 Trace/BPT trap: 5 ./TestBuild/CreativeSDKTest.app/CreativeSDKTest — user2665402

I think you'll need to tell xcodebuild to test the project:

xcodebuild clean install
xcodebuild -target TestApp  -configuration “Debug”  -sdk iphonesimulator7.1   CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=TestBuild ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO clean test

(See the end of the last command)

EDIT: In fact you probably don't even need the first command and just the second will do.

Thanks for the response but including the clean test results in this:

What's the output of xcodebuild -list (run from the same directory where the .xcodeproj is?

Remember I'm am using Catch as a unit test frame work, not XCTest.
