Hello,
I'm attempting to automate some performance tests we currently do manually using signposts and Instruments.
It looks like XCTOSSignpostMetric
is the perfect tool for the job, but I can't get it to play nicely. If I use the pre-defined signpost metric constants (customNavigationTransitionMetric
, scrollDecelerationMetric
, etc), it works fine. If I use a custom signpost using the
XCTOSSignpostMetric.init(subsystem: category: name:)
initializer, nothing happens.
The documentation is very sparse on this topic and Googling, Binging, Githubing and Twittering have come up empty.
I reduced the issue to the smallest example I could ( https://github.com/tspike/SignpostTest ).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, Tres
Environment details:
- macOS 11.6
- Xcode 12.5.1
- iOS 14.6
- iPhone SE 1st Gen
In the app:
...
let signpostLog = OSLog(subsystem: "com.tspike.signpost", category: "signpost")
let signpostName: StaticString = "SignpostTest"
@main
struct SignpostTestApp: App {
init() {
os_signpost(.begin, log: signpostLog, name: signpostName)
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + .milliseconds(500), execute: {
os_signpost(.end, log: signpostLog, name: signpostName)
})
}
...
}
In the test
func testSignposts() throws {
let app = XCUIApplication()
// No performance data
let metric = XCTOSSignpostMetric.init(subsystem: "com.tspike.signpost",
category: "signpost",
name: "SignpostTest")
// Works as expected
// let metric = XCTOSSignpostMetric.applicationLaunch
let options = XCTMeasureOptions()
options.iterationCount = 1
measure(metrics: [metric], options: options, block: {
app.launch()
})
}
