Simple yet powerful Flutter-first UI testing framework overcoming limitations of
`flutter_test`, `integration_test`, and `flutter_driver`. Created and supported
by [LeanCode](https://leancode.co).

## Patrol custom finders
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:
```dart
testWidgets('signs up', (WidgetTester tester) async {
await tester.pumpWidget(AwesomeApp());
await tester.pumpAndSettle();
await tester.enterText(
find.byKey(Key('emailTextField')),
'
[email protected]',
);
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:
```dart
patrolTest('signs up', (PatrolIntegrationTester $) async {
await $.pumpWidgetAndSettle(AwesomeApp());
await $(#emailTextField).enterText('
[email protected]');
await $(#nameTextField).enterText('Charlie');
await $(#passwordTextField).enterText('ny4ncat');
await $(#termsCheckbox).tap();
await $(#signUpButton).tap();
await $('Welcome, Charlie!').waitUntilVisible();
});
```

Patrol's custom finders are also available standalone in [the patrol_finders
package][patrol_finders_link].
## Patrol native automation
Flutter's default [integration_test] package can't interact with the OS your
Flutter app is running on. This makes it impossible to test many critical
business features, such as:
- granting runtime permissions
- signing into the app which through WebView or Google Services
- tapping on notifications
- [much more!](https://patrol.leancode.co/native/feature-parity)
Patrol's native automation feature solves these problems:
```dart
void main() {
patrolTest('showtime', (PatrolIntegrationTester $) async {
await $.pumpWidgetAndSettle(AwesomeApp());
// prepare network conditions
await $.native.enableCellular();
await $.native.disableWifi();
// toggle system theme
await $.native.enableDarkMode();
// handle native location permission request dialog
await $.native.selectFineLocation();
await $.native.grantPermissionWhenInUse();
// tap on the first notification
await $.native.openNotifications();
await $.native.tapOnNotificationByIndex(0);
});
}
```
## CLI
See [packages/patrol_cli][github_patrol_cli].
The CLI is needed to enable Patrol's native automation feature in integration
tests. It also makes development of integration tests much faster thanks to [Hot
Restart].
To run widget tests, you can continue to use `flutter test`.
## Package
See [packages/patrol][github_patrol].
## Patrol contracts generator
1. (Optionally) add new request type:
```dart
class OpenAppRequest {
late String appId;
}
```
2. Add new method to `NativeAutomator`:
```dart
abstract class NativeAutomator<IOSServer, AndroidServer, DartClient> {
...
void openApp(OpenAppRequest request);
...
}
```
3. Run `gen_from_schema` script, few files will be updated
## Develop patrol_cli
If you have previously activated patrol_cli run:
```bash
dart pub global deactivate patrol_cli
```
then
```bash
cd packages/patrol_cli
flutter pub global activate -s path .
```
