instrumentation_adapter 0.1.0

Runs tests that use the flutter_test API as platform native instrumentation tests.

instrumentation_adapter

Adapts flutter_test results as Android instrumentation tests, making them usable for Firebase Test Lab and other Android CI providers.

iOS support is not available yet, but is planned in the future.

Usage

Add a dependency on the instrumentation_adapter package in the dev_dependencies section of pubspec.yaml. For plugins, do this in the pubspec.yaml of the example app.

Invoke InstrumentationAdapterFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized() at the start of a test file.

import 'package:instrumentation_adapter/instrumentation_adapter.dart';
import '../test/package_info.dart' as test;

void main() {
  InstrumentationAdapterFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  testWidgets("failing test example", (WidgetTester tester) async {
    expect(2 + 2, equals(5));
  });
}

Create an instrumentation test file in your application's android/app/src/androidTest/java/com/example/myapp/ directory (replacing com, example, and myapp with values from your app's package name). You can name this test file MainActivityTest.java or another name of your choice.

package com.example.myapp;

import androidx.test.rule.ActivityTestRule;
import dev.flutter.plugins.instrumentationadapter.FlutterRunner;
import org.junit.Rule;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@RunWith(FlutterRunner.class)
public class MainActivityTest {
  @Rule
  public ActivityTestRule<MainActivity> rule = new ActivityTestRule<>(MainActivity.class);
}

Use gradle commands to build an instrumentation test for Android.

pushd android
./gradlew assembleAndroidTest
./gradlew assembleDebug -Ptarget=<path_to_test>.dart
popd

Upload to Firebase Test Lab, making sure to replace <PATH_TO_KEY_FILE>, <PROJECT_NAME>, <RESULTS_BUCKET>, and <RESULTS_DIRECTORY> with your values.
