Create an asynchronous expectation in Swift Testing
The Swift Testing framework vends a confirmation method which enables testing asynchronous code. However unlike XCTest’s XCTestExpectation, this confirmation must be confirmed before the confirmation’s body completes. Swift Testing has no out-of-the-box way to ensure that an expectation is fulfilled at some indeterminate point in the future.
The Expectation vended from this library fills that gap:
@Test func testMethodEventuallyTriggersClosure() async {
let expectation = Expectation()
systemUnderTest.closure = { expectation.fulfill() }
systemUnderTest.method()
await expectation.fulfillment(within: .seconds(5))
}The Expectations type vended from this library makes it easy to wait for multiple expectations:
@Test func testMethodEventuallyTriggersClosures() async {
let expectation1 = Expectation()
let expectation2 = Expectation()
let expectation3 = Expectation()
systemUnderTest.closure1 = { expectation1.fulfill() }
systemUnderTest.closure2 = { expectation2.fulfill() }
systemUnderTest.closure3 = { expectation3.fulfill() }
systemUnderTest.method()
await Expectations(expectation1, expectation2, expectation3).fulfillment(within: .seconds(5))
