Hello,
When we run our XCode UI Tests on our build servers we frequently get random failures that we don't experience on our own local machines. Can someone explain what is the cause and potential solution to this error message?
failed: caught "NSInternalInconsistencyException", "Activity cannot be used after its scope has completed."Thanks
I'm seeing the exact same thing. On my local machine everything works fine, but on my build server it fails with the error you posted. Out if intererest, which CI are you using? We are on Travis, maybe it's an issue with them.
Same issue here. I am using fastlane - it is possible to reproduce issue even on my local machine - if I running uitests from command line.
The problem occurs offen on simulators: iPhone 5s, iPhone SE, iPad's
The problem seems to not occur on simulators: iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus
Getting this too (including another assertion failure in this log output, maybe it's relevant):
