RxExpect

RxExpect is a testing framework for RxSwift.

Concept

Provide inputs then test outputs. This is an example code that tests map() operator multiplying the values by 2.

func testMultiply() {
  let test = RxExpect()
  let value = PublishSubject<Int>()
  let result = value.map { $0 * 2 }

  // provide inputs
  test.input(value, [
    next(100, 1),
    next(200, 2),
    next(300, 3),
    completed(400)
  ])
  
  // test output
  test.assert(result) { events in
    XCTAssertEqual(events, [
      next(100, 2),
      next(200, 4),
      next(300, 6),
      completed(400)
    ])
  }
}

It would be easy to understand if you imagine the marble diagram.

time   --100-200-300-400 // virtual timeline
value  --1---2---3---|   // provide inputs
result --2---4---6---|   // test these values

This is more complicated example.

final class ArticleDetailViewModelTests: XCTestCase {
  func testLikeButtonSelected() {
    let test = RxExpect()
    let viewModel = ArticleDetailViewModel()
    test.retain(viewModel) // IMPORTANT: prevent from being disposed while testing

    // providing an user input: user tapped like button
    test.input(viewModel.likeButtonDidTap, [
      next(100, Void()),
    ])

    // test output: like button become selected
    test.assert(viewModel.isLikeButtonSelected) { events in
      XCTAssertEqual(events.at(100...).elements, [true])
    }
  }

  func testLikeButtonUnselected() {
    let test = RxExpect()
    let viewModel = ArticleDetailViewModel()
    test.retain(viewModel) // IMPORTANT: prevent from being disposed while testing

    // providing an user input: user tapped like button
    test.input(viewModel.likeButtonDidTap, [
      next(100, Void()),
    ])

    // test output: like button become selected
    test.assert(viewModel.isLikeButtonSelected) { events in
      XCTAssertEqual(events.at(100...).elements, [false])
    }
  }
}
