You gotta be kidding me!!! I’m writing some code TDD style for a change. I’m trying to do this in an X-Code iPhone project, knowing all too well the pain of Objective-C verbosity. I get to the point where I wanna load a test resource. Because there’s no getClass().getResourceAsStream in Obj-C iPhone land I’m reduced to this:
+(NSData*) loadTestResourceData:(NSString*)resourceName
{
NSRange range = [resourceName rangeOfString:@"." options:NSBackwardsSearch];
NSString *file = [resourceName substringToIndex:range.location];
NSString *ext = [resourceName substringFromIndex:range.location + 1];
NSString *path = [[NSBundle bundleForClass:[MyTestSupport class]] pathForResource:file ofType:ext];
return [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
}
There has got to be justice here! I miss the days when I could post a question on Nabble saying, “Is there a groovy way to do this? [code-snipet]” At any rate, I’m really upset because I can’t get CoverStory gcov stuff working with my iPhone projects. I don’t particularly care about test coverage but I did find some good usage for coverage tools. Do you do iPhone stuff? Have you used CoverStory? Can you help?
Can't see nothing but the source code 
Looks like you’re doing it right to me! 🙂
Though you could skip the whole parsing out the extension business with a [resourceName pathExtension] and a [[resourceName lastPathComponent] stringByDeleteingLastPathExtension], or theoretically you just pass the full filename for pathForResource nil for the ofType: (or so the docs say)
Haven’t tried. YMMV
If a reel Cocoa nurd were writing this, he’d write a special loader class that took the extension for wrote and just accepted the file name. (Just teasing).
Hey, how about dem blocks in ObjC?
Спасибо. было познавательно.
