SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing reliable end-to-end tests for Flutter apps is hard, especially when features involve native permission dialogs, notifications, or cross-platform behavior. This Skill guides the design, implementation, and execution of deterministic Patrol 4.x tests that avoid flaky timing hacks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Patrol Test Authoring: Structure tests with patrolTest(), key-based selectors, and explicit wait conditions instead of arbitrary delays. - Native Interaction Automation: Handle OS-level permission dialogs, notification shade interactions, and system UI via $.native APIs. - Cross-Platform Execution: Run tests on Android, iOS, and web (including headless Chrome for CI) with patrol test commands and tag filtering. - Use Case: A login flow needs E2E coverage. The Skill produces a patrol_test/login_test.dart file that enters credentials from environment variables, taps the login button, waits for the home screen, and asserts the welcome text, plus the exact patrol test command to verify it. ## Quick Start Write a Patrol E2E test for the login flow in my Flutter app and give me the command to run it.

Frequently Asked Questions about patrol-e2e-testing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an E2E test for a Flutter app with Patrol?▼

Use patrolTest() instead of testWidgets(), pump your app with $.pumpWidgetAndSettle(), and interact via selectors like $(#keyName).enterText() and .tap(). Place the file in patrol_test/ with a _test.dart suffix and run it with patrol test.

How to handle native permission dialogs in Flutter integration tests?▼

Patrol's $.native API automates OS-level dialogs that flutter_test cannot reach. Check $.native.isPermissionDialogVisible() and call $.native.grantPermission() or grantPermissionWhenInUse() to dismiss them during the test.

Can Patrol tests run on web and in CI?▼

Yes, Patrol supports web via patrol test --device chrome, and headless CI execution with --web-headless true. You can also filter runs by tags, such as patrol test --tags android, for platform-specific suites.

Why are my Patrol tests flaky and how do I fix them?▼

Flakiness usually comes from arbitrary Future.delayed calls used as synchronization. Replace them with explicit waits like $.waitUntilVisible() or $.pumpAndSettle(), and configure settleTimeout in PatrolTesterConfig for slow CI environments.

How do I pass credentials to Patrol tests without hardcoding secrets?▼

Load credentials with String.fromEnvironment, for example const email = String.fromEnvironment('E2E_EMAIL'), and supply values at runtime via dart-define flags. This keeps secrets out of source control while tests remain CI-ready.
