This section of the Flutter repository contains the command line developer tools
|
|
|
|
for building Flutter applications.

Be sure to follow the instructions on [CONTRIBUTING.md](../../CONTRIBUTING.md)
|
2020-02-04 16:19:59 +00:00
|
|
|
to set up your development environment. Further, familiarize yourself with the
|
|
|
|
[style guide](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Style-guide-for-Flutter-repo),
|
|
|
|
which we follow.

### Setting up
|
2019-07-23 16:47:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, ensure that the Dart SDK and other necessary artifacts are available by
|
|
|
|
invoking the Flutter Tools wrapper script. In this directory run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
$ ../../bin/flutter --version
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-04 16:19:59 +00:00
|
|
|
### Running the Tool
|
2019-07-23 16:47:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run Flutter Tools from source, in this directory run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
$ ../../bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin/dart bin/flutter_tools.dart
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
followed by command line arguments, as usual.

### Running the analyzer
|
2019-07-23 16:47:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run the analyzer on Flutter Tools, in this directory run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
$ ../../bin/flutter analyze
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-04 16:19:59 +00:00
|
|
|
### Writing tests
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As with other parts of the Flutter repository, all changes in behavior [must be
|
|
|
|
tested](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Style-guide-for-Flutter-repo#write-test-find-bug).
|
|
|
|
Tests live under the `test/` subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
- Hermetic unit tests of tool internals go under `test/general.shard`.
|
|
|
|
- Tests of tool commands go under `test/commands.shard`. Hermetic tests go under
|
|
|
|
its `hermetic/` subdirectory. Non-hermetic tests go under its `permeable`
|
|
|
|
sub-directory.
|
|
|
|
- Integration tests (e.g. tests that run the tool in a subprocess) go under
|
|
|
|
`test/integration.shard`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In general, the tests for the code in a file called `file.dart` should go in a
|
|
|
|
file called `file_test.dart` in the subdirectory that matches the behavior of
|
|
|
|
the test.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We measure [test coverage](https://codecov.io/gh/flutter/flutter) post-submit.
|
|
|
|
A change that deletes code might decrease test coverage, however most changes
|
|
|
|
that add new code should aim to increase coverage. In particular the coverage
|
|
|
|
of the diff should be close to the average coverage, and should ideally be
|
|
|
|
better.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Running the tests
|
2019-07-23 16:47:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run the tests in the `test/` directory, first ensure that there are no
|
|
|
|
connected devices. Then, in this directory run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
$ ../../bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin/pub run test
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tests in `test/integration.shard` are slower to run than the tests in
|
|
|
|
`test/general.shard`. To run only the tests in `test/general.shard`, in this
|
|
|
|
directory run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
$ ../../bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin/pub run test test/general.shard
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run the tests in a specific file, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
$ ../../bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin/pub run test test/general.shard/utils_test.dart
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When running all of the tests, it is a bit faster to use `build_runner`. First,
|
|
|
|
set `FLUTTER_ROOT` to the root of your Flutter checkout. Then, in this directory
|
|
|
|
run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
$ ../../bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin/pub run build_runner test
|
|
|
|
```
|
2019-10-11 18:23:12 +00:00
|
|
|
This is what we do in the continuous integration bots.

### Forcing snapshot regeneration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To force the Flutter Tools snapshot to be regenerated, delete the following
|
|
|
|
files:
|
2017-02-14 05:31:53 +00:00
|
|
|
```shell
|
2019-07-23 16:47:06 +00:00
|
|
|
$ rm ../../bin/cache/flutter_tools.stamp ../../bin/cache/flutter_tools.snapshot
|
2017-02-14 05:31:53 +00:00
|
|
|
```
