xctool fails to clean my iOS project

Question

I'm using xctool (v0.1.16) for an iOS project, which is configured as follows:

• a workspace
• two targets Project and ProjectTests
• two schemes Project and ProjectTests

I have a .xctool-args file with the workspace and Project scheme configured.

I run xctool build and xctool -scheme ProjectTests -sdk iphonesimulator test successfully.

However, I run xctool clean and the following happens:

• 1st it runs xcodebuild clean Project successfully
• 2nd it runs xcodebuild build clean which fails with the error:
  • Scheme Tests is not currently configured for the clean action.

It is strange because I don't have a Tests scheme at all.

I run xctool clean -showTasks and have more details about the error. It runs and fails at

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild \
  -configuration Debug \
  -workspace    /var/folders/b7/472b_skj24gf7wmw6c3krp5c0000gn/T/xctool_temp_KMbH0e/Tests.xcworkspace \
  -scheme    Tests \
OBJROOT=/Users/paristote/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Project-fmyqwebczmtplydrfhcmrdzezcft/Build/Intermediates \
SYMROOT=/Users/paristote/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Project-fmyqwebczmtplydrfhcmrdzezcft/Build/Products \
SHARED_PRECOMPS_DIR=/Users/paristote/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Project-fmyqwebczmtplydrfhcmrdzezcft/Build/Intermediates/PrecompiledHeaders \
  -IDECustomDerivedDataLocation=/var/folders/b7/472b_skj24gf7wmw6c3krp5c0000gn/T/xctool_temp_KMbH0e/DerivedData \
  clean

However, the same command executed separately finishes successfully.

The workspace at /var/folders/b7/472b_skj24gf7wmw6c3krp5c0000gn/T/xctool_temp_KMbH0e/Tests.xcworkspace simply references two projects, the Project xcodeproj and Pods xcodeproj. It does contain a Tests scheme with a build action.

Why does this command fail in the 1st place? Any help is appreciated.

Cheers.

Answer 1

I fixed this issue by checking the "shared" box for the main scheme:

1. Choose Product > Scheme > Manage Schemes.

2. Select the Shared option for the scheme to share, and click OK.
