detox build-framework-cache

detox build-framework-cache

MacOS only. Builds cached versions of the Detox framework and XCUITest-runner. This command uses the --detox and --xcuitest flags to selectively build components. By default, both components are built.

Options​

  • --detox - Builds only the Detox injected framework. Default is false (build both).
  • --xcuitest - Builds only the XCUITest runner. Default is false (build both).

Detox stores a cached version of its framework and XCUITest-runner in ~/Library/Detox/ios/* in unique folders, where the folder name is a hash of Xcode and Detox version combination. This cache is used to speed up the build process and avoid unnecessary recompilations.

Here is an example of the cache structure:
