Is there a way to test an AppLifecycleState change in a Flutter unit test?


My app writes user preferences to a local file when the app is moved to the background (AppLifecycleState.paused) and I'd like to write a test for this behavior.

Is there a way to mimic this in a unit test? Or is this something that would need to be done as an integration test?


Solution

  • You can call binding.handleAppLifecycleStateChanged to fake the app going in and out of the foreground in a unit test.
