Can I make an XCTest Expectation without failing?

Question

I am using Xcode 7, Swift UI Automation. I need to wait for a UIButton to appear in my home screen. I set an expectation for "exists == 1".

This UIButton sometimes appears, sometime it doesn't. During my UI test, if the element appears, everything is OK. But if the element does not appear, the expectation fails (and I don't want it to fail, I just need to take another flow of action)

How can I make a decision withour the test actually failing?

Answer 1

you have to wait for the expectation and handle it if this doesn't happens do something else into the brackets.

let exists = NSPredicate(format: "exists == 1")
expectationForPredicate(exists, evaluatedWithObject: UIButton, handler: nil)
waitForExpectationsWithTimeout(10) { error in

   somethings else
}

Cheers
