Welcome to Nimble!

We're building a testing framework for a new generation of Swift and Objective-C developers.

Nimble should be easy to use and easy to maintain. Let's keep things simple and well-tested.

tl;dr: If you've added a file to the project, make sure it's included in both the OS X and iOS targets.

Reporting Bugs

Nothing is off-limits. If you're having a problem, we want to hear about it.

  • See a crash? File an issue.
  • Code isn't compiling, but you don't know why? Sounds like you should submit a new issue, bud.
  • Went to the kitchen, only to forget why you went in the first place? Better submit an issue.

Be sure to include in your issue:

  • Your Xcode version (eg - Xcode 7.0.1 7A1001)
  • Your version of Nimble (eg - v2.0.0 or git sha 20a3f3b4e63cc8d97c92c4164bf36f2a2c9a6e1b)
  • What are the steps to reproduce this issue?
  • What platform are you using? (eg - OS X, iOS, watchOS, tvOS)
  • If the problem is on a UI Testing Bundle, Unit Testing Bundle, or some other target configuration
  • Are you using carthage or cocoapods?

Building the Project

  • Use Nimble.xcodeproj to work on Nimble.

Running the Swift Package Manager tests

  1. Install swiftenv by running a line from the build script (.travis.yml):

    eval "$(curl -sL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/kylef/5c0475ff02b7c7671d2a/raw/02090c7ede5a637b76e6df1710e83cd0bbe7dcdf/swiftenv-install.sh)"

  2. Run ./test swiftpm

Running the Linux tests on a Mac using Docker

  1. Install & set up Docker Desktop
  2. With Docker running, run the following:
docker pull swift:latest
docker run -it -v `pwd`:/project swift bash
cd project
swift test

Note If you're running on an Apple Silicon Mac: As of this writing, swift:latest does not have an arm image. The amazonlinux2 tag does, and you should use that.

docker pull swift:amazonlinux2
docker run -it -v `pwd`:/project swift:amazonlinux2 bash
cd project
swift test

Pull Requests

  • Nothing is trivial. Submit pull requests for anything: typos, whitespace, you name it.
  • Not all pull requests will be merged, but all will be acknowledged. If no one has provided feedback on your request, ping one of the owners by name.
  • Make sure your pull request includes any necessary updates to the README or other documentation.
  • Be sure the unit tests for both the OS X and iOS targets of Nimble pass before submitting your pull request. You can run all the OS X & iOS unit tests using ./test.
  • If you've added a file to the project, make sure it's included in both the OS X and iOS targets.
  • The main branch will always support the stable Xcode version. Other branches will point to their corresponding versions they support.
  • If you're making a configuration change, make sure to edit both the xcode project and the podspec file.

Style Conventions

  • Indent using 4 spaces.
  • Keep lines 100 characters or shorter. Break long statements into shorter ones over multiple lines.
  • In Objective-C, use #pragma mark - to mark public, internal, protocol, and superclass methods.

Core Members

If a few of your pull requests have been merged, and you'd like a controlling stake in the project, file an issue asking for write access to the repository.

Code of Conduct

Your conduct as a core member is your own responsibility, but here are some "ground rules":

  • Feel free to push whatever you want to main, and (if you have ownership permissions) to create any repositories you'd like.

    Ideally, however, all changes should be submitted as GitHub pull requests. No one should merge their own pull request, unless no other core members respond for at least a few days.

    If you'd like to create a new repository, it'd be nice if you created a GitHub issue and gathered some feedback first.

  • It'd be awesome if you could review, provide feedback on, and close issues or pull requests submitted to the project. Please provide kind, constructive feedback. Please don't be sarcastic or snarky.

Updating Minimum Swift & OS Versions

When updating the minimum Swift (or Xcode) version, you only need to update:

  • Package.swift
  • The Github actions workflows.

When updating the minimum OS versions, you need to update the above 2 options as well as:

  • Nimble.podspec
  • Nimble.xcodeproj (update the OS versions in the Nimble project, not for each individual target)

In addition, be sure to check if there's any relevant documentation to update, and update it.

Creating a Release

The process is relatively straight forward, but here's is a useful checklist for tagging:

  • Look at changes from the previously tagged release and write release notes: git log v0.4.0...HEAD
  • Run the release script: ./script/release A.B.C release-notes-file
  • The script will prompt you to create a new GitHub release.
    • Use the same release notes you created for the tag, but tweak up formatting for GitHub.
  • Update Quick
    • Update Quick's submodule reference to the newly released Nimble version
    • Update Quick's Package.swift file to pull in the newly released Nimble version
    • Update Nimble version in README.md and Documentation in Quick if it's not a patch version update.
  • Announce!
