Issue
We have an Azure DevOps build pipeline that setup to create and deploy a Flutter mobile cross-platform app to Microsoft AppCenter. We use the Flutter Driver test framework for UI Automation. We wanted to run the tests with AppCenter’s device sets. However, the build pipeline currently only allows us to select one of these test frameworks: Appium, Espresso, Calabash, Xamarin UI Test, XCUITest (and no one for Flutter Driver). Is it possible to setup one for Flutter Driver test? Is there any workaround, customized setup that can make it to work?
Solution
However, the build pipeline currently only allows us to select one of these test frameworks: Appium, Espresso, Calabash, Xamarin UI Test, XCUITest (and no one for Flutter Driver).
This limitation is not from Azure Pipelines, it’s from App Center.
The following test frameworks are currently supported on App Center (see here for more details).
- Appium
- Calabash
- Espresso
- Xamarin.UITest (iOS, Android)
- XCUITest
Flutter Driver test framework is not supported currently.
So, on the App Center Test task, only these supported test frameworks are available.
If your projects really need Flutter Driver test framework on App Center, I recommend that you can directly share a feature request on the repository for App Center to ask adding the Flutter Driver test framework on App Center.
