Locating Xcode6 instruments templates

Posted on Aug 16, 2014 by de_poon

With the help of my colleagues, I am trying to request the author of calabash to fix (via Pull Request) an issue of run_loop repo with XCode6.

Apparently the issue lies with the output of

xcrun instruments -s templates

when XCode6SDK is set at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer the output is:

Known Templates:
"Activity Monitor"
"Allocations"
"Automation"
"Blank"
"Cocoa Layout"
"Core Animation"
"Core Data"
"Counters"
"Dispatch"
"Energy Diagnostics"
"File Activity"
"GPU Driver"
"Leaks"
"Multicore"
"Network"
"OpenGL ES Analysis"
"Sudden Termination"
"System Trace"
"System Usage"
"Time Profiler"
"UI Recorder"
"Zombies"

However if your SDK is at a different location, eg /Applications/Xcode6.app, the output becomes

"/Applications/Xcode6.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app/Contents/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.xrplugin/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate"
"/Applications/Xcode6.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app/Contents/PlugIns/OpenGLESAnalyzerInstrument.xrplugin/Contents/Resources/OpenGL ES Analysis.tracetemplate"

"/Applications/Xcode6.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/templates/Dispatch.tracetemplate"
"/Applications/Xcode6.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/templates/File Activity.tracetemplate"
"/Applications/Xcode6.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/templates/Multicore.tracetemplate"
"/Applications/Xcode6.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/templates/Sudden Termination.tracetemplate"
"/Applications/Xcode6.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/templates/UI Recorder.tracetemplate"
"/Applications/Xcode6.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/templates/Zombies.tracetemplate"

The difference in output affects how run_loop interprets and parses it.

If you need a quick fix for v.1.0.2

/Users/xxxXXXXxxx/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/gems/run_loop-1.0.2/lib/run_loop

lib/run_loop/core.rb 560: not name == 'Automation'

change to

lib/run_loop/core.rb 560: not name =~ /\/Automation/
