Test case failing at [[MyObject alloc] init]

I have a subclass of UITextView that conforms to UIKeyInput protocol. So I wrote some logic tests. I have no errors and all other test run well but When myTextView object is supposed to be created:

MyTextView *myTextView = [[MyTextView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];

the test stops, (like a break point) It won't continue

I wonder why is this? Perhaps objects of MyTextView cannot be created in logic tests? Do I need an application test here? If that is the case, what is the rule?

ADDED:

This is one of the tests: (I have a couple more but all them stop at the first line)

    - (void)testHasText{
    MyTextView *myTextView = [[MyTextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
    [myTextView setText:@"some text"];
    STAssertTrue([myTextView hasText], @"hasText failed: It has text!");
    [myTextView setText:@""];
    STAssertFalse([myTextView hasText], @"hasText failed: It it empty!");
    [myTextView release];

}

This is the implementation in MyTextView:

- (BOOL)hasText{
    return [[self text] length]>0?YES:NO;
}

I have commented other methods in MyTextView, only left the three related to UIKeyInput.

Also I have added MyTextView.m to the Compile Source list in LogicTests target. Could this be a configuration issue even though I don't get any Linker Error or warning?

Logic tests that only run in the test bundles are not able to use UI elements. You need to create an application test for this.

I can recommend taking a look at FoneMoneky by Gorilla Logic for performing UI related tests. It will enable you to also test the actual UI in unit tests.

You've got one reference to wmTextView, which doesn't seem to exist. That would be the first thing I'd check.

The second would be this past question: UIKit and unit testing
