Flutter Widget Tests with NetworkImage

I have a Widget with NetworkImage (so far with hard-coded url).
I would like to widget test this Widget, but I got 404 when I run widget test (url is 100% valid).
How can I make NetworkImages load themselves or (which would be better) ignore them so that my tests won't fail because of 404?

In widget tests, the default HTTP client has been replaced with one that always returns 400s. There's a sample on how to do this in the flutter_markdown repo along with couple other places. I used to copy and paste this to every project, but I did it enough times to get quite bored.

There's now a library for this (by me), called "image_test_utils". You can wrap your widget tests with a provideMockedNetworkImages method, which replaces the mocked HTTP client with one that always returns transparent images. Which in turn makes your tests pass.

pubspec.yaml:

dev_dependencies:
  image_test_utils: ^1.0.0

my_image_test.dart:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';
import 'package:image_test_utils/image_test_utils.dart';

void main() {
  testWidgets('my image test', (WidgetTester tester) async {
    provideMockedNetworkImages(() async {
      /// Now we can pump NetworkImages without crashing our tests. Yay!
      await tester.pumpWidget(
        MaterialApp(
          home: Image.network('https://example.com/image.png'),
        ),
      );

      /// No crashes.
    });
  });
}
