Unit Testing with throws in Swift 2.0

November 23, 2015

I’ve been working very slowly on a Swift version of Playlist Export, and today I finally got around to updating the project to Swift 2.0.  Luckily I wrote test cases for much of the logic to manage the export process, so I had some level of confidence that I would know if I broke anything.

However, after I got the project to compile, only one of the test cases ran.  No errors or other indication why all the other cases were ignored.

I did finally figure out that if you your test case has a throws clause, it will be IGNORED.

So:

testPlaylistNameExtension() throws {
    ...
}

testPlaylistNameExtension() {
    ...
}
