Questions about v2

[ziadsarour]

First of all, thank you for this awesome testing framework. It's a must have and IMHO it should be part of flutter native testing framework (especially for the native part).

I've seen that you are working on a v2 but I've not much informations about it, so here are some questions :

• any breaking changes ?
• do you have an estimated release date ?
• will the native part be improved and enhanced ? If yes, could we have some exemple of what is in the scope ?
• in my case, I can't see any print when I run tests on iOS with Patrol, is this a known issue and if yes are you planning to solve it ?

Thank again for what you've achieved for the Flutter community !

Hi, thanks for kind words :) And yes, we're going to publish v2 soon.

any breaking changes ?

Unfortunately yes - that's why it'll be v2 (we follow semver). But they'll not be huge – you'll have to replace a few boilerplate files in android or ios folders, but Dart test code (in integration_test) will mostly stay the same. There'll be a few new minor limitations (see this comment), but we'll likely resolve them in version 2.x.

We'll also have a migration guide.

do you have an estimated release date ?

June or July.

will the native part be improved and enhanced ? If yes, could we have some exemple of what is in the scope ?

The main new feature of v2 is test bundling. There's lots to it, but TL;DR - it's gonna be real nice.

in my case, I can't see any print when I run tests on iOS with Patrol, is this a known issue and if yes are you planning to solve it ?

I suspect it's one of the known issues related to logging (most likely #860). In general, you should use patrol develop while developing tests, and patrol test to run them.

I hope I answered your concerns :) Thanks for asking and expressing interest – really appreciate it!
