This patch adds a default shader warm up process which moves shader compilation from the animation time to the startup time. This also provides an extension for `runApp` so developers can customize the warm up process.
This should reduce our worst_frame_rasterizer_time_millis from ~100ms to ~20-30ms for both flutter_gallery and complex_layout benchmarks. Besides, this should also have a significant improvement on 90th and 99th percentile time (50%-100% speedup in some cases, but I haven't tested them thoroughly; I'll let our device lab collect the data afterwards).
The tradeoff the is the startup time (time to first frame). Our `flutter run --profile --trace-startup` seems to be a little noisy and I see about 100ms-200ms increase in that measurement for complex_layout and flutter_gallery. Note that this only happens on the first run after install or data wipe. Later the Skia persistent cache will remove the overhead.
This also adds a cubic_bezier benchmark to test the custom shader warm up process.
This should fix https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/813 (either by `defaultShaderWarmUp`, or a `customShaderWarmUp`).
* Upgrade everything except matcher.
* Roll matcher (and test)
* Adjust tests that depend on flutter:test directly to depend on a shim
* Require use of package:test shim and remove other references to package:test
Fixes some tests that weren't aggressively catching exceptions.
Fixes some actual failures that were found because of this.
Tries to fix an intermittent failure with crash1_test.dart which could be a race condition.
* Introduce a Directionality inherited widget which sets the ambient LTR vs RTL mode (defaulting to null, which means you cannot use directionality-influenced values).
* Make it possible to configure Padding (including Container.padding and Container.margin) using a directionality-agnostic EdgeInsets variant.
* Provide textDirection and verticalDirection controls on Row and Column to make them RTL-aware.
* Introduce a variant of FractionalOffset based on the EdgeInsets variant. Not yet actually used.
* Fix all the tests that depended on Row defaulting to LTR.
* fix examples/layers/widgets/gestures.dart
* use a list of colors to avoid error prone in elseif
* address review comments
* add tests
* keep index to lower complexity
* address review comments
This yak shave went as follows:
Fix https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/8795 by adding stocks to
the examples README.
Notice the layers entry in that README isn't quite right either.
Update that.
Check the layers/README file is worth pointing at.
Update the layers/README.
Let's run some of the layer tests to see if they still work.
Oops, need to update them to gradle.
Ok let's try running them again.
Oops, sector is broken.
Add a test for sector.
Fix sector. Find you need to add an assert to a const constructor.
Notice we need to turn const asserts on for the analyzer.
Notice the analysis_options files are out of sync with each other and
with the full list of lints.
Turn on the lints that should be on.
Fix the bugs that finds.
...by adding tests to our examples that don't import flutter_test, which
pins the relevant dependencies.
Also, provide more information when complaining about leaked transient
callbacks in tests.
Also, make tests display full information when they have an exception,
by bypassing the throttling we have for Android logging in tests.
Also, make the word wrapping not wrap stack traces if they happen to
be included in exception output.
Also, fix a leaked transient callback in the checkbox code.
