testfairy 1.0.29

TestFairy integration for Flutter, bundled with the native SDK

TestFairy-Flutter integration

This is TestFairy integration for Flutter, bundles with the native SDK.

Installation

Read installation docs at pub.dartlang.org

Quick Start

Include the library and run your main app like this.

Make sure your project is AndroidX compatible.

Minimum supported iOS target is 9.0.

# inside pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  testfairy: any

// inside your main.dart
import 'dart:async';
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:testfairy/testfairy.dart';

void main() {
  runZonedGuarded(
    () async {
      try {
        FlutterError.onError =
            (details) => TestFairy.logError(details.exception);

        // Call `await TestFairy.begin()` or any other setup code here.

        runApp(TestFairyGestureDetector(child: TestfairyExampleApp()));
      } catch (error) {
        TestFairy.logError(error);
      }
    },
    (e, s) {
      TestFairy.logError(e);
    },
    zoneSpecification: new ZoneSpecification(
      print: (self, parent, zone, message) {
        TestFairy.log(message);
      },
    )
  );
}

How to update native SDKs?

Run pod repo update and update the plugin in pubspec.yaml. Then run cd ios; pod update TestFairy; cd ...

Dart 2 Support

To be able to use TestFairy Flutter Plugin 2.+, you must have the environment specified below and upgrade your project code base to Dart 2 using this guide.

environment:
  sdk: ">=2.10.0 <3.0.0"
  flutter: ">=1.22.0 <2.0.0"

Make sure your project root has an analysis_options.yaml that looks similar to this. The important part is the enabled experiment in the top declaration.

You also have to enable the same experiment in your run and test commands:

flutter run --enable-experiment=non-nullable --no-sound-null-safety

flutter drive --enable-experiment=non-nullable --no-sound-null-safety -v --target=test_driver/app.dart

If this transition is not suitable for your project, you can stay in TestFairy plugin 1.0.29 but that requires an upper limit on your Dart and Flutter version specified like this:

environment:
  sdk: ">=2.0.0 <2.1.0"
  flutter: ">=1.0.0 <1.12.0"

Projects that don't make the migration will otherwise get this error:

Error: This requires the null safety language feature, which is experimental.
    You can enable the experiment using the '--enable-experiment=non-nullable' command line option.

How to opt-out from Dart 2?

Starting from 2.0.0, testfairy-flutter will only work with projects that use Dart 2 as the development language. If this transition is not suitable for your project, you can stay in TestFairy plugin 1.0.29 but that requires an upper limit on your Dart and Flutter version specified like this:

environment:
  sdk: ">=2.0.0 <2.1.0"
  flutter: ">=1.0.0 <1.12.0"

dependencies:
  testfairy: ^1.0.29

How to compile with latest Flutter and Dart 2?

Flutter's latest stable channel introduces new Dart syntax and has breaking changes in its SDK classes. These changes will show up similar to the following error when you compile your project.

../pub.dartlang.org/testfairy-1.x.y/lib/src/network_logging.dart:253:7: 
            Error: The non-abstract class '_TestFairyClientHttpRequest' is missing implementations for these members:

     - HttpClientRequest.abort

    Try to either
     - provide an implementation,
     - inherit an implementation from a superclass or mixin,
     - mark the class as abstract, or
     - provide a 'noSuchMethod' implementation.

    class _TestFairyClientHttpRequest implements HttpClientRequest {
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    org-dartlang-sdk:///third_party/dart/sdk/lib/_http/http.dart:2045:8: Context: 'HttpClientRequest.abort' is defined here.
      void abort([Object? exception, StackTrace? stackTrace]);
           ^^^^^

In order to use TestFairy with the latest stable Flutter channel, you must set the minimum version for the plugin as 2.0.0.

In order to use TestFairy with the latest unstable Flutter channel, you must clone this repo and use it as an offline dependency instead of the published version in pub.

1. Clone this repo.

2. Use the following code to include the clone as an offline dependency (assuming both projects reside in the same directory as siblings).

dependencies:
  testfairy:
    path: ../testfairy-flutter # or "./testfairy-flutter" if you cloned it inside your main project as a child directory 

3. Launch a terminal and run the following commands.

cd path/to/testfairy-flutter
sed  "s/Modern Flutter \*\*/\//" lib/src/network_logging.dart > lib/src/network_logging.temp
sed  "s/\*\* Modern Flutter/\//" lib/src/network_logging.temp > lib/src/network_logging.dart
rm -rf lib/src/network_logging.temp

4. Checkout testfairy-flutter to your VCS without including its .git directory.

5. When there is a new update in this repo, delete testfairy-flutter and retry the steps.

Troubleshoot

1. I see Specs satisfying the TestFairy dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target. when I build and iOS app.

You have to update the native SDK alongside with CocoaPods repository.

Run pod repo update and update the plugin in pubspec.yaml. Then run cd ios; pod update TestFairy; cd ...

2. I have my own HttpOverrides.global setup. How can I make it work with TestFairy?

Copy this file to your project. Add the necessary functionality and assign to HttpOverrides.global an instance from your new implementation.

3. I see Errno::ENOENT - No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - ./ios/Pods/Local Podspecs/testfairy.podspec.json when I build an iOS app.

This happens due to a pod misconfiguration bug on the Flutter side. We have a blog post explaining the fix.

Clean your project, remove ios/Podfile and Xcode workspace file entirely. (make sure you have backups just in case)

flutter clean
rm -rf ios/Podfile ios/Podfile.lock pubspec.lock ios/Pods ios/Runner.xcworkspace

Revert to cocoapods 1.7.5 temporarily.

gem uninstall cocoapods
gem install cocoapods -v 1.7.5

Add the following line to the beginning of your iOS project's generated Podfile.

# Beginning of file
use_frameworks!

# The rest of the file contents
# ...

Install pods.

pod repo update
cd ios
pod install
cd ..

Retry your build.

Once your build is successful, you can update cocoapods back to its latest version. If the error reoccurs, you will have to revert back to 1.7.5 and retry the steps.

4. I see Automatically assigning platform ioswith version8.0`` when I build.

TestFairy supports iOS 9.0 and above. Please change the build target accordingly in your Xcode project.

5. I see Looks like TestFairy has an upgrade to do... 1.X.Y+hotfixZ is the latest stable branch or errors related to Jetifier in the logs when I call an SDK method.

Migrate your Android project to AndroidX by following this guide.

6. I see Undefined symbols for architecture error during compilation.

You must use frameworks and specify a platform version of at least 9.0 in your generated iOS project's Podfile. Please make the following changes in ios/Podfile and rebuild.

target 'Runner' do
  platform :ios, '9.0'   ####################################### <--- add this and specify at least 9.0

  use_frameworks!        ####################################### <--- add this, and try building if there is 
                         #######################################      no Swift code or plugin in the project.
                         #######################################      If there is Swift code, please also add 
                         #######################################      the marked line below

  ...
end

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'
      config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '3.2'  ########## <--- add this, change the version to what's being
                                                      ##########      used in the project, remove if there is none
    end
  end
end

7. CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "TestFairy".

This is an old bug in the plugin pubspec file. First, run flutter clean in your root directory.

Please move ios/Podfile.lock into a temporary place before running pod repo update; pod install in your ios directory.

If some of the libraries you use need to be at specific versions, copy the necessary lines from your backed up Podfile.lock into the newly created one. Please keep the lines related to TestFairy (note the title case in the name) untouched.

Finally, run pod repo update; pod install; pod update TestFairy again to re-download libraries from the replaced lines.

If everything went smoothly, this issue should never happen again.

8. There are syntax errors in TestFairyFlutterPlugin.java or TestFairyFlutterPlugin.m file.

In your project root, run flutter clean; cd ios; pod repo update; pod install; pod update TestFairy; cd .. and test again.
