.ipa file not linked with Calabash

Question

User1996 posted

Hello

I've written my xamarin.uitests and successfully excuted them locally for both Android and iOS platforms. However although the Android tests work in the Xamarin Test Cloud I am experiencing an issue with the iOS execution. I recieve the message

'The .ipa file does not seem to be linked with Calabash framework'

I've looked through the documentation but I can't find anything relating to this error. Does anyone have any suggestions on solving this problem?

Thanks

Solved it. I had a semi colon in the complier directive so instead of

DEBUG;ENABLETESTCLOUD;

I had

DEBUG:ENABLETESTCLOUD;

Consequently

if ENABLETESTCLOUD Xamarin.Calabash.Start(); endif

was never executed. Simple in the end!

This was my problem:

Navigate to YOUR_SOLUTION -> Options -> Compiller and select the debug configuration. Set the device as iPhone.

Now you should see ENABLETESTCLOUD as a Debug directive, if its not there then add it or else the code:

if ENABLETESTCLOUD Xamarin.Calabash.Start(); endif

wil not execute at all causing that error to be thrown.

Make sure to add it with a semi colon.

In xamarin test cloud, my error went, when I put my ios file to debug|iphone, compile whole solution, I removed .AppBundle step from BeforeEachTest() step as my UITest project is part of solution, and I added ios project in Unit test window (I am using Xamarin studio on Mac machine). then I submitted test after compilation to run on Xamarin test cloud.

I was also needed to put this variable in compiler attribute in debug configuration, thanks! >>

Navigate and select the project (not solution) -> right click and select options -> select compiler -> in the section 'Define Symbols' ensure the entry 'ENABLETESTCLOUD;' is present. You'll probably also have 'DEBUG;'. Don't forget the semicolons ';'. You have to physically type these values in the section.

Once your on the "Compiller" tab inside the Options window, make sure your configuration is set to Debug. You should see a label saying "Define Symbols:" inside this window with a TextField next to it.

If you don't have the "ENABLETESTCLOUD" symbol there just add it and remember the semi-colons.

Here is a screenshot for you of what mine looks like:
