patrol 0.6.0

Simple yet powerful Flutter-native UI testing framework eliminating limitations of flutter_test, integration_test, and flutter_driver.

patrol

patrol package builds on top of flutter_driver to make it easy to control the native device from Dart. It does this by using Android's UIAutomator library.

It also provides a new custom finder system to make Flutter widget tests more concise and understandable, and writing them – faster and more fun.

Installation

$ dart pub add patrol

      // box1 which is a descendant of a Scaffold widget and tap on it.
      await $(Scaffold).$(#box1).$('Log in').tap();

      // Selects all Scrollables which have Text descendant
      $(Scrollable).containing(Text);

      // Selects all Scrollables which have a Button descendant which has a Text descendant
      $(Scrollable).containing($(Button).containing(Text));

      // Selects all Scrollables which have a Button descendant and a Text descendant
      $(Scrollable).containing(Button).containing(Text);
