widgetbook_golden_test_core 0.4.0

Core utilities for running golden tests on Widgetbook use cases.

widgetbook_golden_test_core

Core engine for generating Flutter golden tests from Widgetbook use cases.

Overview

This package provides the fundamental building blocks for automating golden tests in Flutter projects that use Widgetbook. It is designed to be used as a dependency for higher-level packages like widgetbook_golden_test, but can also be used directly if you need a custom test runner.

Key Components

WidgetbookGoldenTestGenerator

The engine that traverses Widgetbook directory nodes and identifies use cases to be tested.

MockedWidgetbookCase

A wrapper widget that provides a mocked environment for use cases, including:

• WidgetbookScope with mocked state (knobs, query params).
• MaterialApp with theme, locale, and localization support.
• MultiAddonBuilder to apply and merge Widgetbook addons.

WidgetbookGoldenTestsProperties

A configuration class to define global settings for golden tests, such as:

• Default addons.
• Global theme and localization delegates.
• Custom network image resolution.
• Error handling strategies.

WidgetbookGoldenTestBuilder

A widget used in Widgetbook use cases to provide per-case configuration:

• skip: Flag to skip golden test generation.
• addons: Per-case addon overrides.
• goldenActions: A sequence of interactions and snapshots.

GoldenPlayAction

Defines an interaction (callback) and an optional finder to capture a specific snapshot during a "play" sequence.

WidgetTesterExtension

Adds pumpWidgetbookCase and precacheImages to WidgetTester to ensure images are fully loaded before capturing snapshots.

Network Image Mocking

The package includes a built-in goldenTestZoneRunner that sets up a mocked HttpClient. This allows you to:

• Provide custom image data for any URL via networkImageResolver.
• Simulate loading states for specific URLs.
• Simulate and ignore network errors.
