testwire 0.1.5

Step-based test execution framework for Flutter integration tests with AI agent control.

testwire

Core step-based test execution framework for Flutter integration tests with AI agent control.

Testwire is a step-based integration test runner for Flutter, controlled by an AI agent through MCP. It lets an AI agent run, observe, debug, and modify Flutter integration tests in real time — with hot reload, step-by-step execution, and retry on failure.

This package is the core library (pure Dart). Most Flutter developers should use testwire_flutter instead — it wraps this package with testWidgets and hot-reload support. You also need testwire_mcp to connect your AI agent. See the full documentation for getting started.

What this package provides

• step() — declare a named, observable test step with a description, context, and action callback.
• TestSession / activeSession — per-test session state (step registry, pause control, agent mode flag).
• StepRegistry / StepState — tracks registered steps and their statuses (pending, running, passed, failed, fixed).
• registerTestwireExtensions() — registers VM service extensions that the MCP server calls to control the test.
• isAgentMode / waitForAgentConnection() — detect whether the test was launched with --dart-define=AGENT_MODE=true and pause until the agent connects.
• Re-exports from testwire_protocol: StepStatus, TestStatus, TestwireExtension, ExtensionResponse.

Usage

This package is pure Dart and platform-independent. For Flutter integration tests, use testwire_flutter which wraps this package with testWidgets and hot-reload support.

Agent mode

When the test is launched with --dart-define=AGENT_MODE=true, step() calls pause and wait for the agent to advance them. When AGENT_MODE is not set (or false), all steps execute immediately — the test behaves like a normal integration test.
