http://chanson.livejournal.com/tag/unit+testing is a wonderful resource for getting unit tests up and running in cocoa (esp under the debugger). One of the comments was a gem and I pulled it out and fixed it up to work a bit better... This converts your project to run your application's unit tests under gdb. I can't get it to work under XCode's script menu, but it should work fine under the system wide script menu.
(*
To debug the unit tests, in the "General" tab of the executable info window, the "Working Directory" must be set to "Build Products directory"
Modify the testFrameworkPath for your system
