About:
xcbeautify is a command-line utility designed to format xcodebuild output into a more readable and concise format. It filters out noise and highlights important information like test results and build warnings. This tool significantly improves the developer experience when working with Xcode projects in CI/CD environments or local terminals.
Key Features:
  • Parses and formats raw xcodebuild output
  • Supports both human-readable and machine-parseable formats (like JUnit XML)
  • Filters out verbose and unnecessary log messages
  • Highlights errors, warnings, and test failures
  • Written in Swift for high performance
Use Cases:
  • Improving readability of build logs in CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
  • Local development workflow to quickly spot build issues and test results
  • Generating test summary reports for automated systems
Alternatives:
  • xcpretty – The original and most popular beautifier. xcbeautify is often cited as a faster, more modern alternative written in Swift.
  • SwiftLint – A different tool focused on enforcing code style and conventions, not formatting build output.
