Snapshot Testing (swift-snapshot-testing)

Overview

Use this skill for authoritative guidance on snapshot testing in the Popcorn project using Point-Free's swift-snapshot-testing 1.18+. Covers writing snapshot tests with Swift Testing, configuring image strategies, device layouts, recording modes, Xcode Cloud CI compatibility, and reviewing snapshot test code.

Agent Behavior Contract

  1. •Always use Swift Testing (@Suite, @Test, import Testing) — never XCTest for snapshot tests.
  2. •Always use verifySnapshot + Issue.record — not assertSnapshot — to support the snapshotDirectory parameter for Xcode Cloud CI compatibility.
  3. •Always include snapshotDirectory: Self.snapshotDirectory in every verifySnapshot call — this enables CI resolution from Bundle.module.
  4. •Always use .snapshots(record: .missing) on the @Suite — records only missing snapshots, safe for CI.
  5. •Always annotate snapshot test suites with @MainActor — SwiftUI views require main thread rendering.
  6. •Always use .image(layout: .device(config: .iPhone13Pro)) as the default strategy — consistent rendering across environments.
  7. •Always wrap views in NavigationStack when testing screens that appear within navigation — matches production context.
  8. •Always use EmptyReducer() for TCA stores in snapshot tests — snapshots capture visual state, not behavior.
  9. •Never force unwrap in snapshot tests — use optional chaining (SwiftLint force_unwrapping rule).
  10. •Preview data must use real TMDb IDs and image URLs — ensures snapshots render authentic content.

First 60 Seconds (Triage Template)

  • •Clarify the goal: new snapshot test, debugging failure, CI issue, or review.
  • •Collect minimal facts:
    • •Which feature/view needs snapshot coverage?
    • •Is the issue local-only or CI-specific (Xcode Cloud)?
    • •Is this a new snapshot or a mismatch with an existing reference?
  • •Branch quickly:
    • •new snapshot test -> references/writing-tests.md
    • •CI failure / Xcode Cloud -> references/xcode-cloud.md
    • •snapshot mismatch -> references/debugging.md
    • •strategy/layout questions -> references/strategies.md
    • •review -> verification checklist below

Common Pitfalls -> Next Best Move

  • •Snapshot test fails in Xcode Cloud with "No reference found on disk" -> references/xcode-cloud.md — snapshot images must be bundled as .copy resources and resolved from Bundle.module in CI.
  • •Using assertSnapshot instead of verifySnapshot -> assertSnapshot lacks snapshotDirectory parameter — switch to verifySnapshot + Issue.record pattern.
  • •Snapshot renders blank or partially loaded -> ensure preview data includes image URLs; use timeout parameter if async loading needed.
  • •Snapshot mismatch after UI change -> delete old snapshot PNG, re-run to record new one, commit the updated PNG.
  • •Different results on different machines -> use fixed device config (.iPhone13Pro), not .sizeThatFits which varies by host.
  • •Force unwrap lint error on Bundle.module.resourceURL! -> use optional chaining (resourceURL?).
  • •Missing Bundle.module -> ensure Package.swift test target declares resources: [.copy("Views/__Snapshots__")].
  • •Snapshot test not running in CI -> ensure target is registered in TestPlans/PopcornSnapshotTests.xctestplan.

Verification Checklist

  • •Confirm test uses @Suite(.snapshots(record: .missing)) and @MainActor.
  • •Confirm test uses verifySnapshot with snapshotDirectory: Self.snapshotDirectory, not assertSnapshot.
  • •Confirm snapshotDirectory computed property exists — returns nil locally, Bundle.module path in CI.
  • •Confirm Package.swift has resources: [.copy("Views/__Snapshots__")] on the snapshot test target.
  • •Confirm snapshot PNG is committed to git in __Snapshots__/{TestTypeName}/{testName}.1.png.
  • •Confirm snapshot test target is registered in TestPlans/PopcornSnapshotTests.xctestplan.
  • •Confirm preview data uses static var (not static let for @Model types).
  • •Confirm no force unwraps in test code.
