Finders

Overview

Flutter's finders are powerful, but not very intuitive to use.

We took them and made something awesome.

Thanks to Patrol's custom finders, you'll take your tests from this:

testWidgets('signs up', (WidgetTester tester) async {
  await tester.pumpWidget(AwesomeApp());
  await tester.pumpAndSettle();

  await tester.enterText(
    find.byKey(Key('emailTextField')),
    'charlie@root.me',
  );
  await tester.pumpAndSettle();

  await tester.enterText(
    find.byKey(Key('nameTextField')),
    'Charlie',
  );
  await tester.pumpAndSettle();

  await tester.enterText(
    find.byKey(Key('passwordTextField')),
    'ny4ncat',
  );
  await tester.pumpAndSettle();

  await tester.tap(find.byKey(Key('termsCheckbox')));
  await tester.pumpAndSettle();

  await tester.tap(find.byKey(Key('signUpButton')));
  await tester.pumpAndSettle();

  expect(find.text('Welcome, Charlie!'), findsOneWidget);
});

to this:

patrolWidgetTest('signs up', (PatrolTester $) async {
  await $.pumpWidgetAndSettle(AwesomeApp());

  await $(#emailTextField).enterText('charlie@root.me');
  await $(#nameTextField).enterText('Charlie');
  await $(#passwordTextField).enterText('ny4ncat');
  await $(#termsCheckbox).tap();
  await $(#signUpButton).tap();

  await $('Welcome, Charlie!').waitUntilVisible();
});
