Flutter testing WillPopScope with back button

Question

On my Home widget, when user taps system back button, It shows by a WillPopScope a confirmation dialog widget. I want to test this dialog but I cant figure it out how to press the back button on a test file.

Answer 1

I had the same problem but i had no back button in my app. I wanted to test the android system back button. This is how I did it. Maybe it's helpful for people who run into the same problem as me.

testWidgets("test onWillPop",(WidgetTester tester) async {
    bool willPopCalled = false;
    await tester.pumpWidget(
      MaterialApp(
        home: Scaffold(
          body: WillPopScope(
            onWillPop: () async {
              willPopCalled = true;
              return false;
            },
            child: Container(),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );

    final dynamic widgetsAppState = tester.state(find.byType(WidgetsApp));
    await widgetsAppState.didPopRoute();
    await tester.pump();

    expect(willPopCalled, true);
});
