Use case

Hi thanks for Flutter! Currently, when executing integration tests, "tapping the screen" will output something like "Some possible finders for the widgets at Offset(165.7, 462.0)". However, I would appreciate it if the app could be interactive. In other words, users could tap buttons of the app and play with it, etc. It would be very help for debugging the tests!

The reason and context is that, with https://github.com/fzyzcjy/flutter_convenient_test (a package I just open sourced), users can already conveniently re-run a test very quickly and see various results. However, currently the users still cannot interact with the app, except for doing a full hot-restart.

Proposal

I have done a bit of hacking (if you are interested, the messy code is at fzyzcjy/flutter_convenient_test#147). But seems no clue to solve it.

I am willing to make a PR!

I haven't read through your project but how do developers write a test with you app? If you can ask them to use a special tester binding (or if you already have), then you can extend the binding and override handlePointerEventForSource or handlePointerEvent so that events that would be branched into source device are forced into source test.

@dkwingsmt Hi!

how do developers write a test with you app?

There is a video and intro in README: https://github.com/fzyzcjy/flutter_convenient_test

If you can ask them to use a special tester binding (or if you already have)

Yes I can.

so that events that would be branched into source device are forced into source test.

I have tried similar things but failed. I will try your suggestions later. Thanks!

I got here from google, having the same issue.

I found that #108430 adds a method to enable user input during integration testing. In my code, after calling IntegrationTestWidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized() I can allow users to interact with the app like so:

// Enable user interaction
IntegrationTestWidgetsFlutterBinding.instance.shouldPropagateDevicePointerEvents = true;
