Ui testing dealing with push notifications
1 like651 views
This document discusses how to test push notifications in UI tests, including: sending notifications through a testing library called NWPusher; handling interactions on received notifications; and targeting multiple apps like the Springboard. It provides code examples for getting a device token, sending a notification, and testing different interaction types. While useful for testing analytics and notification workflows, the document notes UI testing push notifications has limitations in only working on real devices and potential stability issues.
![UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
XCODE 9: UI TESTS CAN TARGET MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS
▸ Apps can interact with other apps (ex: Springboard)
let springboard = XCUIApplication(bundleIdentifier: “com.apple.springboard”)
‣ Accessibility allows us to interact with a received notification
springboard.otherElements["APPSNAME, now, Hello World”].tap()
springboard.otherElements["NotificationShortLookView"].tap()
‣ WWDC 2017 - Session 409 “What's New in Testing”

- 7. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS DEMO ▸ Interacting with the Control Center by using a UITest
- 8. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS NWPUSHER: THE HERO ▸ Author: Noodlewerk ▸ GitHub NWPusher ▸ Sends Push Notifications (Sandbox and Production environments). ▸ Allows us to define the notification’s payload. ▸ Original idea by Jörn Schoppe
- 9. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS SETTING THINGS UP ▸ Generate a .p12 file from the Keychain APNs app’s certificate ▸ Add the .p12 file on app’s UITests target ▸ Install NWPusher on app’s UITests target ▸ Write those UITests!
- 10. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS INSTALLING NWPUSHER ▸ Install in app’s UITests target ▸ Podfile example (also available for Carthage…) target 'TestingPushNotifications' do use_frameworks! target 'TestingPushNotificationsUITests' do inherit! :search_paths pod 'NWPusher', '~> 0.7.0' end end
- 11. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS WRITING THE UITEST ▸ Getting the Device token ▸ Sending the Push Notification through NWPusher ▸ Using waitForExistence API ▸ Interacting with the received notification
- 12. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS GETTING THE PUSH NOTIFICATION’S DEVICE TOKEN ▸ Allow remote notifications permission in app ▸ Dealing with Location Services permission system alert ▸ How to make the Device Token visible to the UITest? 🤔
- 13. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS GETTING THE PUSH NOTIFICATION’S DEVICE TOKEN The current solution: ▸ Use of XCUIApplication’s launchArguments ▸ Add a UILabel on screen with the device token as its text ▸ Device token is now visible to Accessibility framework
- 14. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS SENDING A PUSH NOTIFICATION FROM THE UITEST ▸ Requires the .p12 file and its password ▸ Requires a customizable payload func triggerPushNotification(payload: String, deviceToken: String) { let uiTestBundle = Bundle(for: TestingPushNotificationsUITests.self) guard let url = uiTestBundle.url(forResource: "apns_dev.p12", withExtension: nil) else { return } do { let data = try Data(contentsOf: url) let pusher = try NWPusher.connect(withPKCS12Data: data, password: "cocoaheadsnantes", environment: .sandbox) try pusher.pushPayload(payload, token: deviceToken, identifier: UInt(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(999)))) } catch { print(error) } }
- 15. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS DEMO ▸ Sending a push notification from a UITest ▸ Handling the received push notification inside the UITest
- 16. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS UNNOTIFICATIONACTION ▸ Notification with actions ▸ Using .swipeDown() on the notification’s XCUIElement ▸ Testing user interactions on the received notification ▸ UNTextInputNotificationAction: answering the message
- 17. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS DEMO ▸ User interactions on a received notification with actions in a UITest
- 18. UI TESTING : DEALING WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS SUMMARY ▸ UI Tests can target multiple apps 🚀 ▸ Test notifications with actions 🚀 ▸ Test analytics code for notification’s user interactions 🚀 ▸ Only works with a real device # ▸ UITests stability 🤕 ▸ Dealing with APNs 🤕
