Swift Package Manager

Xcode

To install Nimble via Xcode's Swift Package Manager Integration: Select your project configuration, then the project tab, then the Package Dependencies tab. Click on the "plus" button at the bottom of the list, then follow the wizard to add Quick to your project. Specify https://github.com/Quick/Nimble.git as the url, and be sure to add Nimble as a dependency of your unit test target, not your app target.

Package.Swift

To use Nimble with Swift Package Manager to test your applications, add Nimble to your Package.Swift and link it with your test target:

// swift-tools-version:5.7

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "MyAwesomeLibrary",
    products: [
        // ...
    ],
    dependencies: [
        // ...
        .package(url:  "https://github.com/Quick/Nimble.git", from: "13.0.0"),
    ],
    targets: [
        // Targets are the basic building blocks of a package. A target can define a module or a test suite.
        // Targets can depend on other targets in this package, and on products in packages this package depends on.
        .target(
            name: "MyAwesomeLibrary",
            dependencies: ...),
        .testTarget(
            name: "MyAwesomeLibraryTests",
            dependencies: ["MyAwesomeLibrary", "Nimble"]),
    ]
)

Please note that if you install Nimble using Swift Package Manager, then raiseException is not available.

# Whatever pods you need for your app go here

target 'YOUR_APP_NAME_HERE_Tests', :exclusive => true do
  use_frameworks!

end

Finally run pod install.
