Passing path of document directory to xcode run scripts

Question

I want to pass the location of the documents (data) directory to the script which runs after the build in a xcode target.

What is the environment variable I should use?

I would have appreciated if the person who asked to close this (very legitimate) question had the decency to atleast add a comment as to why he feels this question is not useful. – Bowshot

AFAIK, there is not environment variable - since the path to the document directory is available only at runtime. What are you trying to accomplish? (btw, that's a legit question IMO) – Imago

@Imago Thanks for the reply. This is what I really wanna do. I want to grab a few resources created during the execution of my SenTests (these resources are stored in the documents directory) using Run Script and then process these once the tests are over. Hence I want to somehow get the path to the sandbox document directory in the scripts. Also, would be glad if you uprate this question. – Bowshot

Answer 1

As the sandbox directory is created AFTER the build completes and the simulator starts, the environment has no knowledge at all of the documents (sandbox directory). You can run a script in the background, which keeps checking the simulator's dump folder to see which directory was created immediately after the app was started.
