scan is part of fastlane: The easiest way to automate beta deployments and releases for your iOS and Android apps.
# What's scan?
### Before `scan`
```sh
xcodebuild \
-workspace MyApp.xcworkspace \
-scheme "MyApp" \
-sdk iphonesimulator \
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6,OS=8.1' \
test
```
As the output will look like this
```

you'll probably want to use something like [xcpretty](https://github.com/supermarin/xcpretty), which will look like this:
```sh
set -o pipefail &&
xcodebuild \
-workspace MyApp.xcworkspace \
-scheme "MyApp" \
-sdk iphonesimulator \
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6,OS=8.1' \
test \
| xcpretty \
-r "html" \
-o "tests.html"
```
### With `scan`
```
scan
```
### Why `scan`?
`scan` uses the latest APIs and tools to make running tests plain simple and offer a great integration into your existing workflow, like [fastlane](https://fastlane.tools) or Jenkins.
| | scan Features |
|----------|-----------------|
:checkered_flag: | Beautiful inline build output while running the tests
:mountain_cableway: | Sensible defaults: Automatically detect the project, schemes and more
:bar_chart: | Support for HTML, JSON and JUnit reports
:mag: | Xcode duplicated your simulators again? `scan` will handle this for you
:link: | Works perfectly with [fastlane](https://fastlane.tools) and other tools
:bullettrain_side: | Don't remember any complicated build commands, just `scan`
:wrench: | Easy and dynamic configuration using parameters and environment variables
:loudspeaker: | Beautiful slack notifications of the test results
:floppy_disk: | Store common build settings in a `Scanfile`
:outbox_tray: | The raw `xcodebuild` outputs are stored in `~/Library/Logs/scan`
:computer: | Supports both iOS and Mac applications
:man: | Automatically switches to the [travis formatter](https://github.com/kattrali/xcpretty-travis-formatter) when running on Travis
:book: | Helps you resolve common test errors like simulator not responding
`scan` uses a plain `xcodebuild` command, therefore keeping 100% compatible with `xcodebuild`. To generate the nice output, `scan` uses [xcpretty](https://github.com/supermarin/xcpretty). You can alway access the raw output in `~/Library/Logs/scan`.
# Installation
sudo gem install fastlane
Make sure, you have the latest version of the Xcode command line tools installed:
xcode-select --install
# Usage
fastlane scan
That's all you need to run your tests. If you want more control, here are some available parameters:
fastlane scan --workspace "Example.xcworkspace" --scheme "AppName" --device "iPhone 6" --clean
If you need to use a different xcode install, use `xcode-select` or define `DEVELOPER_DIR`:
DEVELOPER_DIR="/Applications/Xcode6.2.app" scan
To run `scan` on multiple devices via [fastlane](https://fastlane.tools), add this to your `Fastfile`:
```ruby
scan(
workspace: "Example.xcworkspace",
devices: ["iPhone 6s", "iPad Air"]
)
```
For a list of all available parameters use
fastlane scan --help
To access the raw `xcodebuild` output open `~/Library/Logs/scan`
# Scanfile
Since you might want to manually trigger the tests but don't want to specify all the parameters every time, you can store your defaults in a so called `Scanfile`.
Run `fastlane scan init` to create a new configuration file. Example:
```ruby
scheme "Example"
devices ["iPhone 6s", "iPad Air"]
clean true
output_types "html"
```
# Automating the whole process
`scan` works great together with [fastlane](https://fastlane.tools), which connects all deployment tools into one streamlined workflow.
Using `fastlane` you can define a configuration like
```ruby
lane :test do
scan(scheme: "Example")
end
```
