appFlavor is null when running flutter test with --flavor option in 3.32 #169160
Description
Update: looks like the --flavor option does not populate the appFlavor variable too.
Steps to reproduce
- Define
default-flavorinpubspec.yaml
# The following section is specific to Flutter packages.
flutter:
default-flavor: dev
- Run
flutter test - Check the
appFlavorvariable inside a test
OR
- Run
flutter test --flavor dev - Check the
appFlavorvariable inside a test
This prints dev in 3.29.3. and null in 3.32
Expected results
appFlavor variable contains the selected flavor.
Actual results
appFlavor is null
Code sample
Code sample
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';
void main() {
test('prints default-flavor', () async {
print(appFlavor);
});
