A testing library which makes it easy to test elementary used apps. Built to be used with the elementary architecture package.

Elementary-test

Description

A handy testing library for apps built with Elementary.

Overview

This library offers some handy tools to test WidgetModel from the Elementary package.

testWidgetModel method

The main testing tool is the testWidgetModel function, which executes a test. The parameters it requires are the name of the test, the function preparing the WidgetModel for testing, and the test function itself.

a testFunction parameter

This is a function of the test itself. When passed the WidgetModel, this function describes its behavior and verifies the result. The function also uses a tester to manipulate the phases of the WidgetModel lifecycle and a BuildContext mock.

How to use

void main() {
  late TestPageModelMock model;
  late ThemeWrapperMock theme;
  late TextThemeMock textTheme;

  TestPageWidgetModel setUpWm() {
    textTheme = TextThemeMock();
    when(() => textTheme.headline4).thenReturn(null);
    theme = ThemeWrapperMock();
    when(() => theme.getTextTheme(any())).thenReturn(textTheme);
    model = TestPageModelMock();
    when(() => model.value).thenReturn(0);
    when(() => model.increment()).thenAnswer((invocation) => Future.value(1));

    return TestPageWidgetModel(model, theme);
  }

  testWidgetModel<TestPageWidgetModel, TestPageWidget>(
    'counterStyle should be headline4',
    setUpWm,
        (wm, tester, context) {
      final style = TextStyleMock();
      when(() => textTheme.headline4).thenReturn(style);

      tester.init();

      expect(wm.counterStyle, style);
    },
  );
  
  testWidgetModel<TestPageWidgetModel, TestPageWidget>(
    'when call increment and before get answer valueState should be loading',
    setUpWm,
        (wm, tester, context) async {
      tester.init();

      when(() => model.increment()).thenAnswer(
            (invocation) => Future.delayed(
          const Duration(milliseconds: 30),
              () => 1,
        ),
      );

      unawaited(wm.increment());

      await Future<void>.delayed(
        const Duration(milliseconds: 10),
      );

      final value = wm.valueState.value;

      expect(value, isNotNull);
      expect(value!.isLoading, isTrue);
    },
  );
}
