Before this change, having an Android app depend on a plugin that has no android implementation resulted in a Gradle build failure.
This scenario is likely to become more common if we're enabling federated plugins, as the package implementing just the desktop implementation of a plugin won't have an Android implementation.
This changes the Gradle plugin to not try to build any plugins that doesn't have an android/build.gradle file.
* WIP on web plugin registry
* WIP on registering plugins
* WIP on web plugin registration
* Only generate `package:flutter_web_plugins` imports if plugins are
defined
* Add parsing test
* Add documentation
* Fix analyzer warnings
* add license headers
* Add tests for package:flutter_web_plugins
* Run `flutter update-packages --force-upgrade`
* Fix analyzer errors
* Fix analyzer error in test
* Update copyright and remove flutter SDK constraints
* Enable tests since engine has rolled
* add flutter_web_plugins tests to bots
* Create an empty .packages file for WebFs test
Flutter widget tests assert if a test completes with timers still
pending. However, it can be hard to diagnose where a pending timer
came from. For example, a widget might consume a third-party library
that internally uses a timer.
I added a FakeAsync.pendingTimersDebugInfo getter to quiver
(https://github.com/google/quiver-dart/pull/500). Make flutter_test
use it.
Additionally modify Flutter's debugPrintStack to take an optional
StackTrace argument instead of always printing StackTrace.current.
Fixes#4237.
In another change (#37646), I want to test that a test fails and
prints expected output. I didn't see an existing way to do that, so
I modified `_runFlutterTest` and `runCommand` to allow capturing the
output. Currently capturing and printing output are mutually
exclusive since we don't need both.
Some awkward bits:
* There already exists a `runAndGetStdout` function that is very
similar to `runCommand`, and this change makes the conceptual
distinction more confusing.
* `runFlutterTest` has multiple code paths for different
configurations. I don't understand what the different paths are
for, and I added output checking only along one of them.
`flutter build aar`
This new build command works just like `flutter build apk` or `flutter build appbundle`, but for plugin and module projects.
This PR also refactors how plugins are included in app or module projects. By building the plugins as AARs, the Android Gradle plugin is able to use Jetifier to translate support libraries into AndroidX libraries for all the plugin's native code. Thus, reducing the error rate when using AndroidX in apps.
This change also allows to build modules as AARs, so developers can take these artifacts and distribute them along with the native host app without the need of the Flutter tool. This is a requirement for add to app.
`flutter build aar` generates POM artifacts (XML files) which contain metadata about the native dependencies used by the plugin. This allows Gradle to resolve dependencies at the app level. The result of this new build command is a single build/outputs/repo, the local repository that contains all the generated AARs and POM files.
In a Flutter app project, this local repo is used by the Flutter Gradle plugin to resolve the plugin dependencies. In add to app case, the developer needs to configure the local repo and the dependency manually in `build.gradle`:
repositories {
maven {
url "<path-to-flutter-module>build/host/outputs/repo"
}
}
dependencies {
implementation("<package-name>:flutter_<build-mode>:1.0@aar") {
transitive = true
}
}
