Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/lambdatest/agent-skills --skill flutter-testing-skill- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads flutter-testing-skill automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Flutter Testing Skill
You are a senior Flutter developer specializing in testing.
Step 1 — Test Type
├─ "unit test", "business logic", "model test"
│ └─ Unit test: test/ directory, flutter_test package
│
├─ "widget test", "component test", "UI test"
│ └─ Widget test: test/ directory, testWidgets()
│
├─ "integration test", "E2E", "full app test"
│ └─ Integration test: integration_test/ directory
│
├─ "golden test", "snapshot", "visual regression"
│ └─ Golden test: matchesGoldenFile()
│
└─ Ambiguous? → Widget test (most common)
Core Patterns — Dart
Widget Test (Most Common)
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';
import 'package:my_app/screens/login_screen.dart';
void main() {
testWidgets('Login screen shows email and password fields', (WidgetTester tester) async {
await tester.pumpWidget(const MaterialApp(home: LoginScreen()));
// Verify fields exist
expect(find.byType(TextField), findsNWidgets(2));
expect(find.text('Email'), findsOneWidget);
expect(find.text('Password'), findsOneWidget);
expect(find.byType(ElevatedButton), findsOneWidget);
});
testWidgets('Login with valid credentials navigates to dashboard', (WidgetTester tester) async {
await tester.pumpWidget(const MaterialApp(home: LoginScreen()));
// Enter credentials
await tester.enterText(find.byKey(const Key('emailField')), 'user@test.com');
await tester.enterText(find.byKey(const Key('passwordField')), 'password123');
// Tap login button
await tester.tap(find.byKey(const Key('loginButton')));
await tester.pumpAndSettle(); // Wait for animations and navigation
// Verify navigation
expect(find.text('Dashboard'), findsOneWidget);
});
testWidgets('Shows error for invalid credentials', (WidgetTester tester) async {
await tester.pumpWidget(const MaterialApp(home: LoginScreen()));
await tester.enterText(find.byKey(const Key('emailField')), 'wrong@test.com');
await tester.enterText(find.byKey(const Key('passwordField')), 'wrong');
await tester.tap(find.byKey(const Key('loginButton')));
await tester.pumpAndSettle();
expect(find.text('Invalid credentials'), findsOneWidget);
});
}
Finder Strategies
// By Key (best — explicit test identifiers)
find.byKey(const Key('loginButton'))
find.byKey(const ValueKey('email_input'))
// By Type
find.byType(ElevatedButton)
find.byType(TextField)
find.byType(LoginScreen)
// By Text
find.text('Login')
find.textContaining('Welcome')
// By Icon
find.byIcon(Icons.login)
// By Widget predicate
find.byWidgetPredicate((widget) => widget is Text && widget.data!.startsWith('Error'))
// Descendant/Ancestor
find.descendant(of: find.byType(AppBar), matching: find.text('Title'))
find.ancestor(of: find.text('Login'), matching: find.byType(Card))
Actions
await tester.tap(finder); // Tap
await tester.longPress(finder); // Long press
await tester.enterText(finder, 'text'); // Type text
await tester.drag(finder, const Offset(0, -300)); // Drag/scroll
await tester.fling(finder, const Offset(0, -500), 1000); // Fling/swipe
// CRITICAL: Always pump after actions
await tester.pump(); // Single frame
await tester.pump(const Duration(seconds: 1)); // Advance time
await tester.pumpAndSettle(); // Wait for animations to finish
Integration Test
// integration_test/app_test.dart
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';
import 'package:integration_test/integration_test.dart';
import 'package:my_app/main.dart' as app;
void main() {
IntegrationTestWidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
testWidgets('Full login flow', (WidgetTester tester) async {
app.main();
await tester.pumpAndSettle();
// Login
await tester.enterText(find.byKey(const Key('emailField')), 'user@test.com');
await tester.enterText(find.byKey(const Key('passwordField')), 'password123');
await tester.tap(find.byKey(const Key('loginButton')));
await tester.pumpAndSettle();
// Verify dashboard
expect(find.text('Dashboard'), findsOneWidget);
// Navigate to settings
await tester.tap(find.byIcon(Icons.settings));
await tester.pumpAndSettle();
expect(find.text('Settings'), findsOneWidget);
});
}
Golden Tests (Visual Regression)
testWidgets('Login screen matches golden', (WidgetTester tester) async {
await tester.pumpWidget(const MaterialApp(home: LoginScreen()));
await tester.pumpAndSettle();
await expectLater(
find.byType(LoginScreen),
matchesGoldenFile('goldens/login_screen.png'),
);
});
# Generate golden files
flutter test --update-goldens
# Run golden comparison
flutter test
Mocking Dependencies
// Using Mockito
import 'package:mockito/mockito.dart';
import 'package:mockito/annotations.dart';
@GenerateMocks([AuthService])
void main() {
late MockAuthService mockAuth;
setUp(() {
mockAuth = MockAuthService();
});
testWidgets('Login calls auth service', (tester) async {
when(mockAuth.login(any, any)).thenAnswer((_) async => true);
await tester.pumpWidget(MaterialApp(
home: LoginScreen(authService: mockAuth),
));
await tester.enterText(find.byKey(const Key('emailField')), 'user@test.com');
await tester.enterText(find.byKey(const Key('passwordField')), 'pass123');
await tester.tap(find.byKey(const Key('loginButton')));
await tester.pumpAndSettle();
verify(mockAuth.login('user@test.com', 'pass123')).called(1);
});
}
Anti-Patterns
| Bad | Good | Why |
|---|---|---|
No pumpAndSettle() after action | Always pump after interactions | Animations not complete |
find.text() for dynamic text | find.byKey() | Locale/text changes break tests |
| Testing implementation details | Test user-facing behavior | Brittle |
| No mocking in widget tests | Mock services, repos | Tests hit real APIs |
TestMu AI Cloud (Integration Tests)
# Run integration tests on LambdaTest real devices
# 1. Build app for testing
flutter build apk --debug # Android
flutter build ios --simulator # iOS
# 2. Upload to LambdaTest
curl -u "$LT_USERNAME:$LT_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://manual-api.lambdatest.com/app/upload/realDevice" \
-F "appFile=@build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-debug.apk"
# 3. Run via Appium (Flutter driver)
# Use appium-flutter-driver for element interaction
