MockGraphQLServer

An in-memory GraphQL server that answers the documents SlingClient prints from plain Dart data — no aliases to compute, no regexes over the query. Values are maps with __typename, lists, scalars, or resolvers taking the field's arguments:

final server = MockGraphQLServer(
  query: {
    'me': {'__typename': 'User', 'id': '1', 'name': 'Ada'},
    'launch': (args) => launches[args['id']],
  },
  mutation: {
    'toggleFavorite': (args) => toggle(launches[args['launchId']]!),
  },
);
final client = server.client(Query.root); // disposed after the test

await tester.pumpWidget(SlingScope<Query>(client: client, schema: slingSchema, child: app));
await tester.pumpUntilSettled(client);

expect(server.requests, hasLength(1));
expect(server.lastRequest.selects('launch.rocket.name'), isTrue);

Only the selected fields are returned, under the document's aliases. Unknown fields and objects without __typename fail the test loudly. Throw GraphQLError('…') from a resolver for an errors[] entry with a path. latency: delays responses on the fake clock.

Subscriptions

subscription: fields are Streams (or resolvers returning one); each value is projected to the document's selection and delivered to the client as one event, through server.subscriptionTransport (wired by server.client):

final status = StreamController<Map<String, Object?>>();
final server = MockGraphQLServer(
  query: {...},
  subscription: {'launchStatusChanged': status.stream},
);

await tester.pumpWidget(...); // a SubscriptionBuilder<Subscription> somewhere
expect(server.openSubscriptions, 1);
status.add({'__typename': 'Launch', 'id': 'launch-1', 'status': 'SUCCESS'});
await tester.pump(Duration.zero); // deliver the event, rebuild

Closing the stream completes the subscription; a stream error ends it with a transport error. server.openSubscriptions counts the ones still open — assert it is 0 once the widget is gone.

pumpUntilSettled

tester.pumpUntilSettled(client) pumps until the client has no request in flight (queries and mutations) and the last frame caused no new one — unlike pumpAndSettle(), which returns before the response lands. Works with the mock server, a hand-rolled MockClient, or a real server.

Real network

useRealNetwork() at the top of main() lifts the socket block flutter test installs and turns keep-alive off, so tests against a running server need no client.dispose() dance. disposeAfterTest(client) registers the dispose as a tear-down for plain test()s.
