Running Tests

Prerequisites

Required:

Xcode 15.0+ (for XCTest framework)
macOS 12.0+
Swift 6.0+

Note: Tests require full Xcode installation, not just Command Line Tools.

Run All Tests

# Using Swift Package Manager
swift test

# Using Xcode
open Package.swift
# Then: ⌘U (Product > Test)

# Using xcodebuild
xcodebuild test -scheme Resend -destination 'platform=macOS'

Run Specific Test Suite

# Run only Email tests
swift test --filter EmailClientTests

# Run only Model tests
swift test --filter ResendEmailTests

# Run only Integration tests
swift test --filter IntegrationTests

Test Implementation Details

Mock HTTP Client

The MockHTTPClient provides complete control over HTTP responses:

let mockClient = MockHTTPClient()

// Add successful response
mockClient.addResponse(statusCode: 200, body: """
{
    "id": "email_123"
}
""")

// Add error response
mockClient.addResponse(statusCode: 400, body: """
{
    "statusCode": 400,
    "message": "Invalid email",
    "name": "validation_error"
}
""")

// Simulate network error
mockClient.shouldThrowError = true
mockClient.errorToThrow = URLError(.notConnectedToInternet)

// Verify requests
XCTAssertEqual(mockClient.requests.count, 1)
XCTAssertEqual(mockClient.requests[0].method, .POST)

Test Data

Pre-defined JSON responses in TestData.swift:

// Use predefined test data
let data = TestData.emailJSON.data(using: .utf8)!
let email = try decoder.decode(ResendEmail.self, from: data)

Available test data:

emailJSON
emailResponseJSON
batchResponseJSON
domainJSON
domainListJSON
apiKeyJSON
audienceJSON
contactJSON
broadcastJSON
errorJSON
deleteResponseJSON

Writing New Tests

Test Template

import XCTest
@testable import ResendKit
@testable import ResendCore

final class MyFeatureTests: XCTestCase {
    var mockHTTPClient: MockHTTPClient!
    var resendClient: ResendClient!

    override func setUp() {
        super.setUp()
        mockHTTPClient = MockHTTPClient()
        resendClient = ResendClient(
            apiKey: "test_api_key",
            httpClient: mockHTTPClient
        )
    }

    override func tearDown() {
        mockHTTPClient = nil
        resendClient = nil
        super.tearDown()
    }

    func testFeatureSuccess() async throws {
        // Arrange
        mockHTTPClient.addResponse(statusCode: 200, body: """
        {"id": "test_123"}
        """)

        // Act
        let result = try await resendClient.feature.doSomething()

        // Assert
        XCTAssertEqual(result.id, "test_123")
        XCTAssertEqual(mockHTTPClient.requests.count, 1)
    }

    func testFeatureError() async throws {
        // Arrange
        mockHTTPClient.addResponse(statusCode: 400, body: TestData.errorJSON)

        // Act & Assert
        do {
            _ = try await resendClient.feature.doSomething()
            XCTFail("Should have thrown an error")
        } catch let error as ResendRetrieveError {
            XCTAssertEqual(error.statusCode, 400)
        }
    }
}

Testing Async Code

func testAsyncOperation() async throws {
    let result = try await resendClient.email.send(email: email)
    XCTAssertNotNil(result)
}

Testing Error Handling

func testErrorHandling() async throws {
    mockHTTPClient.shouldThrowError = true
    mockHTTPClient.errorToThrow = URLError(.notConnectedToInternet)

    do {
        _ = try await resendClient.email.send(email: email)
        XCTFail("Should have thrown an error")
    } catch is URLError {
        // Expected
    } catch {
        XCTFail("Wrong error type")
    }
}

Best Practices

1. Use setUp and tearDown

override func setUp() {
    super.setUp()
    // Initialize test dependencies
}

override func tearDown() {
    // Clean up
    mockHTTPClient = nil
    resendClient = nil
    super.tearDown()
}

2. Test Success and Failure Paths

Always test both:

✅ Successful response (200-299)
✅ API error response (400-599)
✅ Network errors
✅ Invalid data

3. Verify Request Construction

let request = mockHTTPClient.requests[0]
XCTAssertEqual(request.method, .POST)
XCTAssertTrue(request.url.contains("/emails"))
XCTAssertEqual(request.headers["Authorization"], "Bearer test_api_key")

4. Test Edge Cases

Empty arrays
Nil optional values
Maximum limits
Pagination boundaries
Special characters

5. Use Descriptive Test Names

func testSendEmailWithAllFieldsSuccess() { }
func testSendEmailFailureWithInvalidAPIKey() { }
func testListDomainsWithPaginationParameters() { }

Troubleshooting

XCTest not found

Problem: error: no such module 'XCTest'

Solution: Requires full Xcode installation:

# Install Xcode from App Store
# Then select it as active developer directory
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Tests timeout

Problem: Async tests timeout

Solution: Increase timeout or check for deadlocks:

func testLongOperation() async throws {
    // Use Task with timeout
    try await withTimeout(seconds: 30) {
        let result = try await resendClient.feature.longOperation()
        XCTAssertNotNil(result)
    }
}

Flaky tests

Problem: Tests pass sometimes, fail other times

Solution:

Check for race conditions in async code
Ensure proper mock setup in setUp
Reset mock state in tearDown
Avoid shared mutable state

Resources

All tests are designed to be:

✅ Fast (< 1 second per test)
✅ Isolated (no shared state)
✅ Repeatable (same result every time)
✅ Self-contained (no external dependencies)
✅ Comprehensive (100% API coverage)
