TestSweets

This package is a utility and helper package to the TestSweets product. It is the package responsible for capturing your widget keys to the database which allows us to provide the auto complete functionality when you script your test cases.

Installation

To start using the package you have to add this package to your pubspec.yaml file.

dependencies:
  ...
  testsweets: [latest_version]

Setup

After the packages have been added we have to setup the code. TestSweets makes use of Flutter Driver to drive the test cases that we write. This means we have to enable Flutter driver for the version of the app that we build that goes through automation. Flutter driver disables certain things like the on screen keyboard. To disable completely TestSweets is as easy as passing enabled: false to setupTestSweets function.

...

void main() {
  // 1. Setup the TestSweets internal dependencies
  await setupTestSweets();
  ...
  runApp(MyApp());
}

in your MaterialApp

...
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    return MaterialApp(
      // 2. Inside MaterialApp add TestSweetsOverlayView to the builder
      //    with the projectId you get when you created a new project in Testsweets app
      builder: (context, child) => TestSweetsOverlayView(
        projectId: '3OezzTovG9xxxxxxxxx',
        child: child!,
      ),
      // 3. Finally add TestSweetsNavigatorObserver() 
      // to determine what view you are on right now
      navigatorObservers: [
        TestSweetsNavigatorObserver.instance,
      ],
    );

Capturing Interactions

To run the app in capture mode you just start the application and capture mode will be enabled. You can swap between capture mode and drive mode tapping on the screen with 3 fingers.

How to add an Interaction

Note: The view you are on is automatically captured

1. Click the arrow to show the bottomsheet
2. Select one of the three interaction types (default to Touchable)
3. Drag the "T" icon onto the touchable widget e.g. a button
4. Enter a widget name
5. Tap the Save Widget button

Note: you can tap the arrow again to close the bottomsheet and move the widget freely and it will preserve the information

How to inspect a view

Inspecting view is the default state when you open the app.

However, if you’re Creating/Editing a widget and you want to go back to inspect mode you can tap the Clear button.

How to edit an interaction
