Generate file if missing?

[benron]

Hi, wondering if it would be hard or if you've considered adding functionality so that if no associated test file or spec was found, it'd create it for you? Like if I try to switch to the test file for
FooBar.swift but it doesn't exist, it'll create the empty FooBarTests.swift test file.

Thanks, it is a pretty great idea!
To introduce the feature, there are some issues...

• which directory to create FoobarTests.swift
  • with selection dialog?
• how to import the file to Xcode
  • there is no standard api for!
  • second best way should be using https://github.com/CocoaPods/Xcodeproj

Both they are technical challenge for me. I will look into it in a month!

how to import the file to Xcode

xcode-project-manager/xcodeproj has a nice and simple API for that purpose.

https://github.com/xcode-project-manager/xcodeproj/blob/0c6ac2c4c5ada36639cf2f3748c904ee757377d0/Sources/xcodeproj/PBXGroup.swift#L139

Maybe I will add that feature to https://github.com/toshi0383/hackscode . Let's see..
