SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Testing AsyncRedux apps can be verbose and brittle. This Skill provides structured patterns and utilities to write reliable unit tests that exercise the Store, actions, and async flows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create test Stores with deterministic initial state for isolated tests.
  • Dispatch actions using dispatchAndWait and dispatchAndWaitAll and assert the resulting state.
  • Validate ActionStatus to detect success or failure and inspect errors.
  • Use MockStore to isolate tests by replacing or suppressing actions.
  • Use advanced wait utilities to coordinate complex async scenarios.

Quick Start

Create a test file with flutter_test and async_redux, build a simple Store, dispatch an action using dispatchAndWait, and assert the resulting state. For example:

import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart'; import 'package:async_redux/async_redux.dart';

void main() { test('increments counter', () async { var store = Store<AppState>(initialState: AppState(counter: 0)); await store.dispatchAndWait(IncrementAction()); expect(store.state.counter, 1); }); }

FAQPage Schema
How do I unit test async actions in a Flutter AsyncRedux store?

To unit test async actions in an AsyncRedux store, create a test Store with deterministic initial state, dispatch actions using dispatchAndWait, and assert the resulting state. The flutter_test and async_redux packages are required.

How do I set up a MockStore to isolate dependencies in AsyncRedux tests?

MockStore isolates AsyncRedux tests by replacing or suppressing actions to remove external dependencies. You configure the MockStore to intercept specific actions, ensuring test outcomes remain deterministic and independent of real store logic.

How do I validate ActionStatus to check for success or failure in AsyncRedux tests?

Validating ActionStatus in AsyncRedux tests involves dispatching an action with dispatchAndWait and then inspecting the action's status property. This detects whether the action completed successfully or failed, allowing you to inspect associated errors.

Can I dispatch multiple actions simultaneously in AsyncRedux unit tests?

Yes, you can dispatch multiple actions simultaneously in AsyncRedux unit tests using dispatchAndWaitAll. This coordinates complex asynchronous scenarios by waiting for all dispatched actions to finish before asserting the final store state.

What's the best way to test synchronous and asynchronous actions with the same AsyncRedux store?

The best way to test both synchronous and asynchronous actions is to use a dedicated test Store with initial state. You can dispatch either type of action using dispatchAndWait and verify the final state and ActionStatus uniformly.

Why do my AsyncRedux state assertions fail when testing asynchronous actions?

AsyncRedux state assertions fail when tests do not wait for asynchronous actions to complete. Using dispatchAndWait instead of dispatch ensures the test execution pauses until the action finishes and the state is fully updated before asserting.
