About
Patrol is a new testing framework for Flutter. It builds on top of Flutter's existing test tooling to let you do things which were previously impossible.
Patrol lets you access native features of the platform that the Flutter app is running on. Finally, you can interact with permission dialogs, notifications, WebViews, change device settings, toggle Wi-Fi, and much more – and you can code this very easily in plain Dart.
Patrol also provides a new custom finder system that extends Flutter's default finders, making them shorter and easier to understand. Patrol's custom finders, coupled with Hot Restart, make writing integration tests dramatically faster, easier and more fun!
Patrol is also a revamped, production-quality version of Flutter's built-in
integration_test plugin. It fixes its shortcomings and enables features such
as full isolation between tests and sharding.
Patrol is an open-source project which is being developed and maintained by us – LeanCode! We use it to test our clients' production-grade apps, and you can do the same!
