Xcode UI Tests are failing because of XCApplicationStateRunningActive on physical device

Question

In my app I'm adding some UI tests. With one test method everything works perfectly, but when I added second method, the test is failing because of the following error:

I feel like [[[XCUIApplication alloc] init] launch]; doesn't terminate the app as it suppose to.

EDIT 1:

I also noticed, if I press home button on my physical device after test finishes, I can see 2 instances of the app still running on the background. And if I try to start the tests again I get the message in Xcode that it can not start running the app because the app null is still running. This is frustrating :(

Does anyone have a clue or had a similar issue?

Any kind of help is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

This sounds like the app isn't being torn down correctly after the first test is completed. Try explicitly killing the app in your tear down method.

- (void)tearDown {
    [[[XCUIApplication alloc] init] terminate];
    [super tearDown];
}
