Test delays with “Timed out waiting for the exit barrier block”

Describe the bug

Running snapshot tests with existing screenshots results in test delays and “Timed out waiting for the exit barrier block” messages on console.

To Reproduce

Have this test class.

import SwiftUI
import SnapshotTesting
import XCTest

final class SettingsViewTests: XCTestCase {  
  func test_simple_view() {
    let sut = Text("Hello settings")
      .frame(width: 100, height: 100)
    SnapshotTesting.assertSnapshot(matching: sut, as: .image)
  }
}

When it is run without a snapshot being present, it quickly and correctly records the snapshot and reports a failure.

When the snapshot is present, the test works correctly (passes or fails as expected). However, the process has several seconds of delay in the end.

Expected behavior

When snapshots are present, the test should complete without any delay.

Environment

  • swift-snapshot-testing version 1.11.1
  • Xcode Version 14.3.1 (14E300c)
  • Swift 5.8.1
  • OS: macOS Ventura 13.5 (22G74)
  • iOS Simulator: iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16.4

I just created a new project without this library as a dependency and experienced the same issue. So this would indicate that it is not an issue of swift-snapshot-testing and could therefore be an Apple issue. Please test a project without swift-snapshot-testing and report back whether you experience the same thing. Thank you.

This is an obsolete bug and I have not seen it lately, so, closing.

The slowness I observed was actually this: #664
