SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers write deterministic, testable Swift code by abstracting external dependencies such as file system, network, and bookmark storage behind small, focused protocols so tests can run without performing real I/O and can simulate failure modes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Focused Protocols: Define small protocols for single responsibilities (file system, file access, bookmark storage) to minimize surface area to mock.
  • Production Defaults + Mocks: Provide default production implementations and configurable mock providers that simulate reads, writes, and error conditions.
  • Actor & Concurrency Friendly: Enforce Sendable conformance and patterns for injecting dependencies into actors and async components.
  • Use Cases: Unit testing a SyncManager that reads/writes JSON from a container, simulating missing containers or read/write errors, and enabling reliable SwiftUI previews without real services.

Quick Start

Use the swift-protocol-di-testing skill to extract external I/O into focused protocols, add default and mock implementations, and inject mocks into your unit tests to simulate success and failure scenarios.

FAQPage Schema
How do I unit test Swift code that interacts with the file system or network?

To unit test Swift code with file system or network dependencies, abstract external I/O behind focused protocols and inject configurable mock providers to simulate reads, writes, and errors without real I/O.

What is the best way to mock network and file system dependencies in Swift?

Mocking network and file system dependencies in Swift involves defining small, focused protocols for single responsibilities, then providing configurable mock implementations that simulate success, missing containers, and read/write failure conditions.

How do I inject dependencies into Swift actors while maintaining Sendable conformance?

To inject dependencies into Swift actors while maintaining Sendable conformance, abstract external dependencies behind small protocols, enforce Sendable conformance, and inject these protocols via default parameters for reliable async testing.

Can I use protocol-based dependency injection for SwiftUI previews without real services?

Yes, protocol-based dependency injection enables reliable SwiftUI previews by allowing you to inject mock implementations of external services, completely avoiding real network or file system I/O during interface rendering.

Why does my Swift unit test fail when reading or writing JSON from a container?

Swift unit tests fail when reading or writing JSON from a container due to real I/O side effects; abstracting container access behind focused protocols allows deterministic mock injection to simulate missing containers and prevent failures.

Does swift-protocol-di-testing support simulating error conditions for bookmark storage?

Yes, swift-protocol-di-testing supports simulating error conditions for bookmark storage by defining focused protocols for single responsibilities and providing configurable mock providers that simulate read, write, and storage failures.
