Is there a way to load a prototype cell, along with any IBOutlet connections as defined within a storyboard?
Update
I want to unit test the cell (a UICollectionViewCell for that mater), hence would like to load it outside of a UIViewController context.
Effectively, in the same way that you can load a custom view from a nib, specifying its file's owner and have its IBOutlet(s) set.




Edit: As far as I know, it's not possible to use prototype UITableViewCells from a Storyboard anywhere other than the ViewController you created it in.
I haven't tried this with unit tests yet but you can easily put your custom
UITableViewCellinto a separate nib.For using it in your view controllers you need to register the cell with your tableViews.
Then use the cell like this in
cellForRowAtIndexPath:For your testing purposes you should be able to go with:
If you need to test reuse-behaviour, you should set a reuseIdentifier here and call
prepareForReuseon the cell.
