How to run xcodebuild commands via ssh?

I am trying to run iOS tests with xcodebuild commands over ssh. When I try to run those commands which build and run the iOS UI Tests I am facing following error.

Note: I have all the keychains on the machine where I ssh in unlocked.

Command

HOME=/Users/mcj xcodebuild build-for-testing -project ios/ios_test_app/HXKPIIOS/HXKPIIOS.xcodeproj -scheme HXKPIIOS -destination 'platform=iOS,id=d623bacb04507071723fe1286c148edb822d5422' -derivedDataPath /opt/HXKPI_Logs/oobe_iOS_2018-06-14-11-14-23-216414/build_derived_data| tee /opt/HXKPI_Logs/oobe_iOS_2018-06-14-11-14-23-216414/uitest/build1.log

** TEST BUILD FAILED **

Solution

  • My guess is that although you have the proper items within your Keychain it still needs to be unlocked before it can execute the build process properly. When ssh in (before building) try:

    $ security unlock-keychain

    If your keychain is not unlocked, it needs a window server connection in order to prompt the user to unlock the keychain. Use security(1) to unlock the keychain on the remote machine prior to executing the xcodebuild.

    If that doesn't work for you please review this question and subsequent answers.
