Can I run multiple integration tests with one single config file in Flutter?


I am trying to write Flutter integration tests and to run them all with one config file instead of making config file for every single test. Is there any way to do that?

For now I have login.dart and login_test.dart and so on, for every single test. I know its convention that every config and test file must have the same name, but that's not what I need, more configurable things are welcomed. Thanks in advance.

This is my config file: login.dart

import 'package:flutter_driver/driver_extension.dart';
import 'package:seve/main.dart' as app;

void main() {
  enableFlutterDriverExtension();
  app.main();
}

And test: login_test.dart looks something like this

import ...

FlutterDriver driver;

void main() {
  setUpAll(() async {
    driver = await FlutterDriver.connect();
  });

  tearDownAll(() async {
    if (driver != null) {
      driver.close();
    }
  });

  test('T001loginAsDriverAndVerifyThatDriverIsLogedInTest', () async {
    some_code...
  });
}

Now I want to make new test file e.g login_warning.dart and be able to start both tests by calling single config file login.dart. Is that even possible?


Solution

  • Yes, running multiple "test" files with the same "config" is possible.

    In the flutter jargon, your config file is your target and your test file is your driver. Your target is always login.dart but you have the two drivers login_test.dart and login_warning.dart.

    With the flutter drive command, you can specify the target as well as the driver.

    So in order to run both drivers, simply execute the following commands

    flutter drive --target=test_driver/login.dart --driver=test_driver/login_test.dart
    flutter drive --target=test_driver/login.dart --driver=test_driver/login_warning.dart
    

    This executes first the login_test.dart and then the login_warning.dart driver.
