Command-line tool to make working with patrol easier.

Installation #

From pub.dev #

$ dart pub global activate patrol_cli

From git #

  1. Make sure that you have Dart >= 2.17 installed.

    $ dart --version
    
  2. Clone the repo.

  3. Go to packages/patrol_cli.

  4. Run dart pub global activate --source path .

Troubleshooting #

If you can't run patrol from the terminal and the error is something along the lines of "command not found", make sure that you've added appropriate directories to PATH:

  • on Unix-like systems, add $HOME/.pub-cache/bin
  • on Windows, add %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\bin

Usage #

First run #

On first run, patrol_cli will download artifacts it needs to the artifact path. By default it is $XDG_CACHE_HOME (on Unix-like systems) or $HOME/.patrol (on Windows), but you can change it by setting PATROL_CACHE environment variable.

To learn about commands, run:

$ patrol --help

  1. add patrol as a dev_dependency in pubspec.yaml
  2. add integration_test as a dev_dependency in pubspec.yaml
  3. create test_driver/integration_test.dart
  4. create integration_test/app_test.dart

Run patrol bootstrap to automatically perform these steps.
