? CILeaksDetector

This is a simple package that enables you to easily integrate the Memory leaks check to your CI workflow.

Getting started

Usage

Just need to follow these simple steps:

Copy Dangerfile.leaksReport to your project. This contains the logic to get the leaks message and post to your Pull request. You can custom this Dangerfile. Learn more about Danger here
Create a maestro flow to run simulate the flow in your app. Learn more about Maestro here
In your ci workflow, just call:

    leaksdetector -processName $YOUR_APP_NAME -e $SUPPORTED_TESTING_FRAMEWORKS -d $PATH_TO_DANGER_FILE

Current support testing frameworks

Maestro ✅
XCUITest (In progress ⚙️)

How it works

Use Maestro to simulate the UI flow in your app.
Generate memgraph using leaks tool provided by Apple. Find more about leaks tool and memgraph here
Use leaksdetector program to proceed the memgraph file. If any leaks founded, it will use Danger to post a message to your PR/slack, …

Why I used Maestro?

I need a testing tool which doesn’t kill the program after the testing finished execution. And Maestro support that. Also Maestro is very easy to integrate & use.
I’ve tried to used XCUItest, which is really promissing. Based on this WWDC video from Apple, XCUITest even allows us to capture the stacktrace where leaks occur & generate a memgraph. However, I’ve tried to follow the video but Xcode didn’t generate any memgraph.

=> I’m working on this.

I’ve posted some questions on swiftforum and developer.apple. If you have any ideas, feel free to reply on the threads

How to support your testing frameworks

If you’re using another UI testing framework which also support preserve the execution of the program after finish testing, you can create another PR to update the leaksdetector. It’s easy to do that, just need to follow these steps:

Open Executor.swift, create a new instance of your testing frameworks. Your new instance needs to conform to Executor protocol.

    struct XCUITestExecutor: Executor {
        
        func simulateUI() throws {
            // Custom logic to start simulating UI
        }
        
        func generateMemgraph(for processName: String) throws {
            // Custom logic to start generating memgraph for a `processName`
        }
        
        func getMemgraphPath() -> String {
            // return the path to the generated memgraph
        }
    }

Open ExecutorFactory.swift, define your new UI testing frameworks to the ExecutorType, and add logic to generate it in the createExecutor func.
Add new @Option to the executable program if need
