Some APIs (such as the ones in package:test) assume you're running
in a child zone of the test zone by attempting to extract information
from the zone values. When we run runAsync() in the root zone, those
zone values are lost, and such API methods don't work.
The solution is to run in a child zone, but with a specification that
says to use the Root zone for task scheduling (both timers and
microtakss).
Various improvements (in particular a new painting fuzzer) to the text manual test.
Some additional documentation.
A fix to Stack to remove an LTR bias: make unpositioned children apply "alignment".
Some more debugging information on RichText and Text.
A fix to the flutter tool to not crash when an RPC call throws an exception.
* 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.
* Add find.descendant API to support find descendants of an element by passing the current element and the finder of descendant.
* Add find.descendant API to support find descendants of an element by passing the current element finder and the finder of descendant.

Add an option to provide a custom description to predicate
finders. Without a custom description we default to printing the
predicate function's signature, which is not all that useful.
Use this new option in the driver extension to print the text of the
sought after tooltip.
This requires all AnimationController objects to be given a
TickerProvider, a class that can create the Ticker.
It also provides some nice mixins for people who want to have their
State provide a TickerProvider. And a schedulerTickerProvider for those
cases where you just want to see your battery burn.
Also, we now enforce destruction order for elements.
This makes it possible to substitute 'flutter run' for 'flutter test'
and actually watch a test run on a device.
For any test that depends on flutter_test:
1. Remove any import of 'package:test/test.dart'.
2. Replace `testWidgets('...', (WidgetTester tester) {`
with `testWidgets('...', (WidgetTester tester) async {`
3. Add an "await" in front of calls to any of the following:
* tap()
* tapAt()
* fling()
* flingFrom()
* scroll()
* scrollAt()
* pump()
* pumpWidget()
4. Replace any calls to `tester.flushMicrotasks()` with calls to
`await tester.idle()`.
There's a guarding API that you can use, if you have particularly
complicated tests, to get better error messages. Search for
TestAsyncUtils.
* Refactor widget test framework
Instead of:
```dart
test("Card Collection smoke test", () {
testWidgets((WidgetTester tester) {
```
...you now say:
```dart
testWidgets("Card Collection smoke test", (WidgetTester tester) {
```
Instead of:
```dart
expect(tester, hasWidget(find.text('hello')));
```
...you now say:
```dart
expect(find.text('hello'), findsOneWidget);
```
Instead of the previous API (exists, widgets, widget, stateOf,
elementOf, etc), you now have the following comprehensive API. All these
are functions that take a Finder, except the all* properties.
* `any()` - true if anything matches, c.f. `Iterable.any`
* `allWidgets` - all the widgets in the tree
* `widget()` - the one and only widget that matches the finder
* `firstWidget()` - the first widget that matches the finder
* `allElements` - all the elements in the tree
* `element()` - the one and only element that matches the finder
* `firstElement()` - the first element that matches the finder
* `allStates` - all the `State`s in the tree
* `state()` - the one and only state that matches the finder
* `firstState()` - the first state that matches the finder
* `allRenderObjects` - all the render objects in the tree
* `renderObject()` - the one and only render object that matches the finder
* `firstRenderObject()` - the first render object that matches the finder
There's also `layers' which returns the list of current layers.
`tap`, `fling`, getCenter, getSize, etc, take Finders, like the APIs
above, and expect there to only be one matching widget.
The finders are:
* `find.text(String text)`
* `find.widgetWithText(Type widgetType, String text)`
* `find.byKey(Key key)`
* `find.byType(Type type)`
* `find.byElementType(Type type)`
* `find.byConfig(Widget config)`
* `find.byWidgetPredicate(WidgetPredicate predicate)`
* `find.byElementPredicate(ElementPredicate predicate)`
The matchers (for `expect`) are:
* `findsNothing`
* `findsWidgets`
* `findsOneWidget`
* `findsNWidgets(n)`
* `isOnStage`
* `isOffStage`
* `isInCard`
* `isNotInCard`
Benchmarks now use benchmarkWidgets instead of testWidgets.
Also, for those of you using mockers, `serviceMocker` now automatically
handles the binding initialization.
This patch also:
* changes how tests are run so that we can more easily swap the logic
out for a "real" mode instead of FakeAsync.
* introduces CachingIterable.
* changes how flutter_driver interacts with the widget tree to use the
aforementioned new API rather than ElementTreeTester, which is gone.
* removes ElementTreeTester.
* changes the semantics of a test for scrollables because we couldn't
convince ourselves that the old semantics made sense; it only worked
before because flushing the microtasks after every event was broken.
* fixes the flushing of microtasks after every event.
* Reindent the tests
* Fix review comments
