• Allow configuration by reading a config file (e.g. ~/.config/convenient_test.json), useful for using precompiled Manager #220
• Fix building Windows application... dart_vlc-0.1.9/lib/src/widgets/controls.dart(185,55): error G76A9B1F6: The method 'back' isn't defined for the class 'Player'. #217

1.1.0

Issues closed:

• create universal configuration, accept params from cmdargs, dart-define, etc #213
• allow Manager to load and display a Report without existence of worker #211
• GoldenDiffPage: set FilterQuality be none if zoom in (physical size much larger), and mid if zoom out #206
• GoldenDiffPage: allow pan/zoom an image, and other images should synchronously pan/zoom the same location #205
• GoldenDiffPage: compute pixelwise difference and show it #204
• GoldenDiffPage: allow arrow up/down key to navigate #203
• for updateGoldens, give a GUI to check golden files git diff #201
• macos + flutter 3.0, fail to compile #199
• migrate to flutter 3.0 #198
• add "root finder" to easily find the root widget #197
• Mark.repaintBoundary flag does not work when in combination with goldens #196
• when golden fails because "image sizes do not match", should still provide visual diff #195
• improve the "screenshot panel", especially when it is showing golden images #192
• when generateFailureOutput (i.e. one golden fails), currently it outputs one log, so (1) it will not remove log if with retry it succeed (2) tons of log exists #191
• create "super-run-id", and let Report and Video output to subfolders of a folder named by superRunId, such that different super-runs are naturally grouped #190
• gRPC error on M1 Macos #182
• configure macos Manager such that it can be compiled into release executables - currently can always use flutter run/flutter profile even without doing this #181
• manage golden failures, generate them onto convenient_test data dirs #180
• explicitly show which golden test fails, by marking them on LogEntry (or throwing exceptions at the locations expectLater fails) #179
• visualize golden test failures clearly in our Manager #178
• "match golden" errors if the match fails #177
• display icon name instead of the default hex number if using find.byIcon #176
• implement "append text to TextField" - current enterText will replace all text #175
• add sticky header for log panel, such that know which test is looking at - possibly show group names & test name; only visible if the topmost visible item is a log entry #174
• make route name matcher have better description #171
• make text of matchers like findsOneWidget more brief #170
• beautify "section" log entry UI, let users easily see this is section header #169
• add Mark.repaintBoundary parameter to easily add RepaintBoundary at test time for goldens #168
• implement two-finger gestures #167
• add various gesture detection tests #166
• in ci mode, when manager has started but worker has not yet started, should gracefully handle this case #165
• improve logging in ci mode: at least know which test is executing and how many remain #163
• add a hint text indicating "all tests finished" or "running some tests" #162
• maybe improve grammar: t.get(find.text('hi')).tap()/.should(...) -> find.text('hi').tap()/.should(...) #159
• make "logging reports to files" optional #157
• make write-file paths into sub-directories, currently all into the root temp dir making it messy #156
• further improve the top toolbar, since we are going to add more buttons and it will overflow #152
• Using outdated get_it version #150
• allow dynamically configure number of retries in panel #149
• when test name has special char like "+", regex fails #148
• exception when finished running tests in isolation mode #145
• for flaky tests, the "play video" button only plays the first video among all, instead of all videos #142
• do not show full error dialog, but collapse it by default and allow expand #141
• use hashcode+conflict-then-change to generate Test/Group id that is stable across hot-restarts #140
• add dart-code-metrics, especially check "access map operator[] with wrong key type", because things like #136 will easily have such problems #137
• avoid referencing Test/Group via id, because they do not preserve across hot-restarts - use names instead #136
• When tap to run a test, have NPE error for _GroupInfoSectionBuilder._buildHeader #135
• bug: after tapping "play video" button, no video is shown #134
• still use names to identify Test/Group instead of the newly proposed id; but throw error if there are duplicated names #133
• Test/Group id should stay stable across hot-restarts - because in "isolation mode" and with #130, we use id to identify tests across hot restarts #132
• protobuf should use int64 instead of int32 for (new) id, since we use snowflake which is 64bit #131
• generate and use unique ids to determine tests and groups, since currently used test names can be duplicate #130
• remove entryLocator, since test name is prefixed with group name, so no need to use group name to locate test name #129
• flutter test seems to allow duplicated names (even in same groups), but we rely on names to locate tests #128
• improve the "header panel" since too many items now #127
• remove the ManagerRpcService (abstraction layer above grpc to Manager), since will use new approach for CI mode #126
• let VideoDisplayStore/VideoPanel understand existence of multiple videos (currently only understand one) #125
• add a boot time config to specify whether to enable "hot-restart for every test" mode #124
• when in "hot-restart for every test" mode, also hot restart when a test is flaky and want to re-execute #123
• make the to-be-implemented "hot-restart for every test" an configurable optional feature #119
• refactor "ci mode" from pure-worker approach into the manager-aided approach #118
• extract pure-dart "manager_dart" from the "manager" package, such that it can run without gui; extract common_dart from common as well #117
• extensive golden support #116
• make generated id in worker be unique even across VM hot restart, by using a snowflake-like approach #115
• hot-restart every time a test is to be executed to improve isolation #113
• the intro video uploaded to youtube is blur #112

1.0.1+3

• Use high resolution intro video

1.0.1+2

• Use an image instead of video in pub.dev doc

1.0.1+1

• Further attempt to add preview video to pub.dev

1.0.1

• Update README with a video

1.0.0

• Initial release

Issues closed:

• add post-release CI (just like flutter_rust_bridge) to ensure in-git-tree code works well with pub-released versions #106
• after readme is updated, release a new pub package version to update doc there #105
• make CI pass #103
• when tap "play video" button, should auto change to video sub-panel #101
• nested group name should not have unnecessary prefix #98
• mimic flutter official "integration test" tutorials, and put it in our example, to show how the same thing can be more convenient #97
• improve the example package's main.dart and integration_test code #96
• doc: add enough screenshots and mini-videos(or gifs) to each feature, since a picture worth a thousand words #95
• build a "profiling" build and see whether it is smooth - if not, fix it #92
• for half-visible entries, should also jump (unless it has too large height) #90
• change ScrollPhysics of the command panel, otherwise when using ScrollablePositionedList's jump, will have unwanted spring effects #89
• create "hover mode" toggle, only if enabled, hovering an entry will have effects #86
• add a button, only play video of this specific test, and stop once finished, instead of playing the whole video of many tests #84
• let CommandInfoPanel be a (real) ListView, instead of lots of nested Columns, otherwise performance bad #83
• when highlighting a logentry, must scroll it to make it visible, if it is originally not visible #82
• implement VideoPlayerController for dart_vlc #81
• maybe add a banner in app, showing last log entry, to accurately see what is happening at that time #80
• maybe use external vlc player and communicate with it #79
• add "open externally" button for video #78
• create example page that displays a counter in order to test video functionality #76
• the "seek" of vlc video player seems bad #75
• add a fine-grained play position bar #74
• automatically detect vmservice is alive or not, before sending operations like restart #67
• add timestamps on log entry, and display it #66
• allow playing the video with extra speed / slower speed #65
• when playing the video, auto highlight corresponding test group & test entry & log entry #64
• when tapping a log entry, auto jump to that time of the video #63
• run tests selected by a provided customized regex #62
• run a whole group of tests (currently, only "all tests" or "one single test") #61
• take a video (not only screenshots) for the whole testing process, easing debugging, especially some transitioning problems #60
• for failed assertions, add a "just before fail" snapshot #58
• when calling and waiting "hot restart app", give some visual feedback #56
• add a "halt" button, which forcefully stop the running tests, while preserving all logs #55
• in manager, detect whether vmservice is disconnected and show corresponding errors #54
• add time information to raw logs #53
• when running in ci mode, should auto exit process when done #51
• generate prebuilt binaries for convenient_test_manager for releases #50
• bug: state status is not cleared across runs #48
• (low priority) slight optimization: use a "string pool", such that no need to repeat test/group name (Strings) over and over again, and only need to use integer (pool indices) #46
• check tests with same name (but different groups) - should not be buggy in such cases #45
• avoid hardcode managerHost in MyConvenientTestSlot example (otherwise cannot run on other computers) #44
• reportRunnerMessage has error for tearDownAll #43
• let Manager app runnable on Windows, MacOS and Linux (currently only MacOS) #40
• add icons to Manager app (macos/windows/linux/... platforms) #39
• demonstrate how to use plain-old code in integration_test (add a few tests inside example package) #38
• doc: further improve the example package #37
• switch app be in "normal" and "testing" mode (normal mode - just like a normal app where you can interact with it; test mode - like when you execute integration_test, you cannot interact with app) #34
• display nested TestGroups nicely #32
• ci mode: run tests (the app) without manager + generate an output file + manager can open this file for later analysis #31
• doc: smooth conversion from old integration_test based code - just change a few places and you are ready to use convenient_test #30
• improve UX of "section"s #29
• add more example scenarios in the default example #28
• enhance SelectableText: (1) copy-all button (2) ctrl-c to copy #25
• use monospace fonts to improve display #24
• improve situation when app firstly launch and manager launch later #22
• cannot compile manager (possibly due to refactor) #21
• doc: "get started" section - how to integrate this library into the user's project #20
