Breakpoints ignored in unit tests

With the latest Xcode 9.3.1 (and 9.3, haven't tried earlier), breakpoints are ignored in unit tests.

I’m not sure what’s going on with your setup but I’m not seeing this problem. To verify this I did the following:

1. Using Xcode 9.3 on macOS 10.13.4, I created a new app from the iOS > Single View App template, making sure to check Include Unit Tests.

2. In the app I added a dummy class for testing (code below).

3. In the test case subclass I modified

   testExample

   to call that method (code below).

4. I set a breakpoint on the

   NSLog

   .

5. I ran the test on the simulator and it hit the breakpoint.

Please repeat this test on your Mac and let us know how you get along. If you see the same behaviour, you know that the problem your seeing is specific to your setup. In contrast, if this test fails for you then you know that there’s something specific to your environment that’s causing the problem.
