1. Target RawEditor using final editor = find.byType(RawEditor)
2. Tap on FleatherField using tester.tap(editor)
3. Enter text using tester.enterText("Hey there")

Logs

Nothing happens after tester.enterText is called and test is completed, no text in the FleatherField

It's not that convenient yet and I think we should provide some test utilities with Fleather. Right now you can use flutter_test_robots to make it a bit easier.

void main() {
  testWidgets('test', (tester) async {
    final controller = FleatherController();
    final app = MaterialApp(home: FleatherEditor(controller: controller));
    final editor = find.byType(RawEditor);
    await tester.pumpWidget(app);
    await tester.tap(editor);
    await tester.ime.typeText('My Text', finder: editor);
    expect(controller.document.toPlainText(), 'My Text\n');
    await tester.pumpAndSettle(throttleDuration);
  });
}

I'm closing it but feel free to reopen if it's not fixed. @niteshsh4rma

Thanks, @Amir-P for the workaround (& @niteshsh4rma for raising an issue). In my case, these lines were enough to make it work (w/o the "expect" from the initial post - it's failing on it probably because you need to trigger frame rendering firstly after action, and only after you can check the results of it):

final editor = find.byType(RawEditor);
await tester.tap(editor);
await tester.ime.typeText(commentText, finder: editor);
await tester.testTextInput.receiveAction(TextInputAction.done);
await tester.pumpAndSettle(throttleDuration);

Note (for others facing this issue & trying this approach): you need to install the "flutter_test_robots".
