Simulate hover in flutter test

Question

I am working on a flutter web project and I have a widget I would like to write tests about. This widget is using a MouseRegion which does some actions when it is hovered or not by the user.

As an example:


class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyWidgetState createState() => _MyWidgetState();
}

class _MyWidgetState extends State<MyWidget> {
  bool isHovered = false;
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MouseRegion(
      onExit: (_) {
        setState(() {
          isHovered = false;
        });
      },
      onEnter: (_) {
        setState(() {
          isHovered = true;
        });
      },
      child: Container(
        color: isHovered ? Colors.blue : Colors.red,
        height: 50,
        width: 50,
      )
    );
  }
}

I can write a widget test to test my container is red:

testWidgets('MyWidget should be red by default', (WidgetTester tester) async {
  await tester.pumpWidget(
    MyWidget(),
  );
  expect(find.byWidgetPredicate((Widget widget) => widget is Container && widget.color == Colors.red), findsOneWidget);
  expect(find.byWidgetPredicate((Widget widget) => widget is Container && widget.color == Colors.blue), findsNothing);
});

But how can I simulate the hovering in a test widget (to check that the container is blue)?

I believe this comment can give you a direction. stackoverflow.com/a/64450668/10136855 — ToraCode

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried to add final offset = tester.getCenter(find.byType(MyWidget)); final testPointer = TestPointer(1, PointerDeviceKind.mouse)..hover(offset); await tester.pumpAndSettle(); with and without await tester.sendEventToBinding(testPointer.scroll(const Offset(0, 0))); and it unfortunately didn't work — Valentin Vignal

await tester.sendEventToBinding(testPointer.scroll(const Offset(0, 0))); is for scrolling. I thought the hover function is answer but not. Please try to look around this flutter test to find an answer github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter/test/… — ToraCode

Here is how I managed to do it

testWidgets('MyWidget should be red by default', (WidgetTester tester) async {
  await tester.pumpWidget(
    MyWidget(),
  );
  expect(find.byWidgetPredicate((Widget widget) => widget is Container && widget.color == Colors.red), findsOneWidget);
  expect(find.byWidgetPredicate((Widget widget) => widget is Container && widget.color == Colors.blue), findsNothing);

  final gesture = await tester.createGesture(kind: PointerDeviceKind.mouse);
  await gesture.addPointer(location: Offset.zero);
  addTearDown(gesture.removePointer);
  await tester.pump();
  await gesture.moveTo(tester.getCenter(find.byType(MyWidget)));
  await tester.pumpAndSettle();

  expect(find.byWidgetPredicate((Widget widget) => widget is Container && widget.color == Colors.red), findsNothing);
  expect(find.byWidgetPredicate((Widget widget) => widget is Container && widget.color == Colors.blue), findsOneWidget);
});
