Feature Request
Since widget and integration tests have the same API now, how do we make a directory of shared code? Seems like this would be a common request? Or maybe it's too simple, but still, documentation is so good..

@johnpryan, can you address this? Thx!

Hi @neiljaywarner, yes you can share code that uses package:flutter_test.

You could add a file somewhere in your package (e.g. lib/my_shared_test_code.dart) and write helper functions:

import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';

void checkForLocationString(WidgetTester tester) {
    await tester.pumpAndSettle();
    expect(find.text('Getting location...'), findsOneWidget);
}

Then you could import that file in your widget test file and integration test file using a import 'package:my_app/my_shared_test_code.dart'.

Hope this helps!

It kinda feels like you are modifying the SUT.
But I guess it works...

Does the release build process "just work" to keep it out of the final ipa and apk

[johnpryan]

Yes, any unused code will be tree shaken at build time. You could move the shared test code into different package if you prefer.
