TestFairyBridge

TestFairy bridge to the TestFairy iOS SDK. Integrating the TestFairy SDK into your app allows better understanding of how your app performs on real devices. It tells you when and how people are using your app, and provide you with any metric you need to optimize for better user experience and better code.

Manual installation iOS

1. npm install --save react-native-testfairy
2. In XCode, right click the Libraries folder under your project ➜ Add Files to <your project>.
3. Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-testfairy ➜ ios and add all files.
4. Add libTestFairy.a from the linked project to your project properties ➜ "Build Phases" ➜ "Link Binary With Libraries"
5. Next you will have to link a few more SDK framework/libraries which are required by TestFairy (if you do not already have them linked.) Under the same "Link Binary With Libraries", click the + and add the following:
   • CoreMedia.framework
   • CoreMotion.framework
   • AVFoundation.framework
   • SystemConfiguration.framework
   • OpenGLES.framework

Usage

Once the native library has been added to your project, you can now enable session recording with TestFairy. You will need an iOS app token, which you can get from your preferences page on your TestFairy account.

Next, from your JavaScript file, (index.ios.js for example), import the TestFairy bridge into your project, and invoke begin passing in the iOS app token. Best time to invoke begin is usually before you register you Application.

const TestFairy = require('react-native-testfairy');
...
TestFairy.begin('<insert ios app token here>');
AppRegistry.registerComponent('app', () => App);

And that's it! You can now log into your account and view your sessions. Also, feel free to refer to the documentation for other available APIs.

Hiding views

TestFairy allows the developer to hide specific views from the recorded video. As the developer, you may choose to hide one or more views from video for security and privacy reasons. For example, you might want to remove all information related to credit card data from appearing in the session.

In order to hide views from your recorded session, you will need to pass a reference to a view to TestFairy. First, give the element to be hidden a ref attribute. For example:

<Text ref="instructions">This will be hidden</Text>

Next, in a component callback, such as componentDidMount, pass the reference ID back to TestFairy by invoking hideView. You will need to import findNodeHandle into your project.

var { findNodeHandle } = React;
const TestFairy = require('react-native-testfairy');
...
var MyComponent = React.createClass({
  ...
  componentDidMount: function() {
    TestFairyBridge.hideView(findNodeHandle(this.refs.instructions));
  },
  ...
  render: function() {
    return (<Text ref="instructions">This will be hidden</Text>);
  }
});

TestFairy.begin('<insert ios app token here>');

Now, your Views will be hidden before any video is uploaded to TestFairy.
