You have to create the NSMenu inside the method

func applicationDockMenu(_ sender: NSApplication) -> NSMenu? {

    let dockMenu = NSMenu()
    dockMenu.addItem(withTitle: "test1", action: nil, keyEquivalent:     "")
    return dockMenu
}

or remove the items

let dockMenu = NSMenu()

func applicationDockMenu(_ sender: NSApplication) -> NSMenu? {

    dockMenu.removeAllItems()
    dockMenu.addItem(withTitle: "test1", action: nil, keyEquivalent:     "")
    return dockMenu
}

However I would declare it in Interface Builder and use an outlet.
