Flutter: Same object, same runtimeType but runtimeType== other.runtimeType is false

I encountered a strange issue during my tests. I'm trying to verify a function call - to my logger:

 verify(() => logger.i(WorkflowButtonClicked(value: true))).called(1);

The test runs, and there is a call:

    logger.i(new WorkflowButtonClicked(value: true));

WorkflowButtonClicked class extends Equatable, but for some reason, the verify is false. I checked the code on Equatable class and saw that:

 @override
  bool operator ==(Object other) =>
      identical(this, other) ||
      other is Equatable &&
          runtimeType == other.runtimeType &&
          equals(props, other.props);

and the problem is that runtimeType == other.runtimeType is false, and I can't understand why, because if the String representation of runtimeType is the same. I tried overriding the runttimeType:

  Type get runtimeType {
    return WorkflowButtonClicked;
  }

but the "==" was still false; Only if I override the runtimeType with return "int" it works for some strange reaseon. Don't know how to fix this.

Solution

  • Ok I found out what happened, the problem was the import:

    bad: import '../models/logger/log_types/workflow_button_clicked.dart';

    good: import 'package:APP/models/logger/log_types/workflow_button_clicked.dart';

    Not sure why, but it solved it.
