XCTest after test case?

I am writing integration tests with a docket printer and I need it to cut the docket after all the unit tests in a single suite are complete.

Other test frameworks I've used have a tearDownAfterClass type action, but XCTest doesn't seem to have that?

Is there anyway I can simulate this?

XCTest has exactly that feature. There are two versions of tearDown, one an instance method and one a class method:

- (void)tearDown;    // this gets called after each test
+ (void)tearDown;    // this gets called after all tests in the suite

Similarly, there are instance and class versions of setUp, so you can do setup work before each test or once before the suite runs.

There is a crude solution to this. It turns out that XCTest always runs tests in alphabetical order, so like:

/**
 * Tests are run in alphabetical order, hence the Z so this runs last.
 */
- (void)testZTearDownAfterClass
{
   // ...
}

The same would conversely be true about setUpBeforeClass:

- (void)test_setUpBeforeClass
{
   // ...
}
