Linux compatibility

Open Nikoloutsos opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi @davidahouse 👋 , I see that this library is not supporting linux. But could it support it? Have you done any work about it?

I may open a PR about it

@Nikoloutsos Full linux support for this library isn't possible as it relies on the Xcode command line tools to generate the json export from xcresult files. As far as I know that part has to be done from macOS. Now the parsing of the json could theoretically be done on Linux, but I'm not sure what value that would bring. Let me know if I'm missing something, but at this point I don't think full Linux support is possible.

Thanks for the fast reply David,

Hmm I see what you mean, I see other related XCResultParsers are only for macOS as well.
The reason I want this functionality is: I am using your library in combination with danger to show the results in Pull Requests. And because macOS costs approximately 10x more that linux, I was wondering if there was a chance this library working on linux.
