Protocol-based dependency injection for testable Swift code — mock file system, network, and external APIs using focused protocols and Swift Testing.
npx skills add https://github.com/loulanyue/awesome-claude-notes --skill swift-protocol-di-testing
Patterns for making Swift code testable by abstracting external dependencies (file system, network, iCloud) behind small, focused protocols. Enables deterministic tests without I/O.
Each protocol handles exactly one external concern.
// File system access
public protocol FileSystemProviding: Sendable {
func containerURL(for purpose: Purpose) -> URL?
}
// File read/write operations
public protocol FileAccessorProviding: Sendable {
func read(from url: URL) throws -> Data
func write(_ data: Data, to url: URL) throws
func fileExists(at url: URL) -> Bool
}
// Bookmark storage (e.g., for sandboxed apps)
public protocol BookmarkStorageProviding: Sendable {
func saveBookmark(_ data: Data, for key: String) throws
func loadBookmark(for key: String) throws -> Data?
}
public struct DefaultFileSystemProvider: FileSystemProviding {
public init() {}
public func containerURL(for purpose: Purpose) -> URL? {
FileManager.default.url(forUbiquityContainerIdentifier: nil)
}
}
public struct DefaultFileAccessor: FileAccessorProviding {
public init() {}
public func read(from url: URL) throws -> Data {
try Data(contentsOf: url)
}
public func write(_ data: Data, to url: URL) throws {
try data.write(to: url, options: .atomic)
}
public func fileExists(at url: URL) -> Bool {
FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: url.path)
}
}
public final class MockFileAccessor: FileAccessorProviding, @unchecked Sendable {
public var files: [URL: Data] = [:]
public var readError: Error?
public var writeError: Error?
public init() {}
public func read(from url: URL) throws -> Data {
if let error = readError { throw error }
guard let data = files[url] else {
throw CocoaError(.fileReadNoSuchFile)
}
return data
}
public func write(_ data: Data, to url: URL) throws {
if let error = writeError { throw error }
files[url] = data
}
public func fileExists(at url: URL) -> Bool {
files[url] != nil
}
}
Production code uses defaults; tests inject mocks.
public actor SyncManager {
private let fileSystem: FileSystemProviding
private let fileAccessor: FileAccessorProviding
public init(
fileSystem: FileSystemProviding = DefaultFileSystemProvider(),
fileAccessor: FileAccessorProviding = DefaultFileAccessor()
) {
self.fileSystem = fileSystem
self.fileAccessor = fileAccessor
}
public func sync() async throws {
guard let containerURL = fileSystem.containerURL(for: .sync) else {
throw SyncError.containerNotAvailable
}
let data = try fileAccessor.read(
from: containerURL.appendingPathComponent("data.json")
)
// Process data...
}
}
import Testing
@Test("Sync manager handles missing container")
func testMissingContainer() async {
let mockFileSystem = MockFileSystemProvider(containerURL: nil)
let manager = SyncManager(fileSystem: mockFileSystem)
await #expect(throws: SyncError.containerNotAvailable) {
try await manager.sync()
}
}
@Test("Sync manager reads data correctly")
func testReadData() async throws {
let mockFileAccessor = MockFileAccessor()
mockFileAccessor.files[testURL] = testData
let manager = SyncManager(fileAccessor: mockFileAccessor)
let result = try await manager.loadData()
#expect(result == expectedData)
}
@Test("Sync manager handles read errors gracefully")
func testReadError() async {
let mockFileAccessor = MockFileAccessor()
mockFileAccessor.readError = CocoaError(.fileReadCorruptFile)
let manager = SyncManager(fileAccessor: mockFileAccessor)
await #expect(throws: SyncError.self) {
try await manager.sync()
}
}
