In this example, you’ve learned how to use Mockito to test functions or classes |
that depend on web services or databases. This is only a short introduction to |
the Mockito library and the concept of mocking. For more information, |
see the documentation provided by the Mockito package. |

<topic_start>An introduction to widget testing |
In the introduction to unit testing recipe, |
you learned how to test Dart classes using the test package. |
To test widget classes, you need a few additional tools provided by the |
flutter_test package, which ships with the Flutter SDK.The flutter_test package provides the following tools for |
testing widgets:If this sounds overwhelming, don’t worry. Learn how all of these pieces fit |
together throughout this recipe, which uses the following steps:<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
1. Add the flutter_test dependency |
Before writing tests, include the flutter_test |
dependency in the dev_dependencies section of the pubspec.yaml file. |
If creating a new Flutter project with the command line tools or |
a code editor, this dependency should already be in place.<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
2. Create a widget to test |
Next, create a widget for testing. For this recipe, |
create a widget that displays a title and message. |
<code_start>class MyWidget extends StatelessWidget { |
const MyWidget({ |
super.key, |
required this.title, |
required this.message, |
}); |
final String title; |
final String message; |
@override |
Widget build(BuildContext context) { |
return MaterialApp( |
title: 'Flutter Demo', |
home: Scaffold( |
appBar: AppBar( |
title: Text(title), |
), |
body: Center( |
child: Text(message), |
), |
), |
); |
} |
}<code_end> |
<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
3. Create a testWidgets test |
With a widget to test, begin by writing your first test. |
Use the testWidgets() function provided by the |
flutter_test package to define a test. |
The testWidgets function allows you to define a |
widget test and creates a WidgetTester to work with.This test verifies that MyWidget displays a given title and message. |
It is titled accordingly, and it will be populated in the next section. |
<code_start>void main() { |
// Define a test. The TestWidgets function also provides a WidgetTester |
// to work with. The WidgetTester allows you to build and interact |
// with widgets in the test environment. |
testWidgets('MyWidget has a title and message', (tester) async { |
// Test code goes here. |
}); |
}<code_end> |
<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
4. Build the widget using the WidgetTester |
Next, build MyWidget inside the test environment by using the |
pumpWidget() method provided by WidgetTester. |
The pumpWidget method builds and renders the provided widget.Create a MyWidget instance that displays “T” as the title |
and “M” as the message. |
<code_start>void main() { |
testWidgets('MyWidget has a title and message', (tester) async { |
// Create the widget by telling the tester to build it. |
await tester.pumpWidget(const MyWidget(title: 'T', message: 'M')); |
}); |
}<code_end> |
<topic_end> |
<topic_start>Notes about the pump() methods |
After the initial call to pumpWidget(), the WidgetTester provides |
additional ways to rebuild the same widget. This is useful if you’re |
working with a StatefulWidget or animations.For example, tapping a button calls setState(), but Flutter won’t |
automatically rebuild your widget in the test environment. |
Use one of the following methods to ask Flutter to rebuild the widget.info Note |
To kick off the animation, you need to call pump() |
once (with no duration specified) to start the ticker. |
Without it, the animation does not start.These methods provide fine-grained control over the build lifecycle, |
which is particularly useful while testing.<topic_end> |

5. Search for our widget using a Finder |
With a widget in the test environment, search |
through the widget tree for the title and message |
Text widgets using a Finder. This allows verification that |
the widgets are being displayed correctly.For this purpose, use the top-level find() |
method provided by the flutter_test package to create the Finders. |
Since you know you’re looking for Text widgets, use the |
find.text() method.For more information about Finder classes, see the |
Finding widgets in a widget test recipe. |
<code_start>void main() { |
testWidgets('MyWidget has a title and message', (tester) async { |
await tester.pumpWidget(const MyWidget(title: 'T', message: 'M')); |
// Create the Finders. |
