- For
- Flutter teams testing layouts across devices and locales
- Worth noticing
- Its example matrix spans English and Spanish, light and dark themes, three devices, and 1.0× and 2.0× text scales.
Field notes
The setup example puts supported locales and devices in flutter_test_config.dart, with light and dark themes enabled by default; individual tests can override an axis. The sample output lays goldens out by locale, theme, device, and test name, while failures include images in a failures directory. The page describes the package as built on flutter_test and shows it running with the usual flutter test command.
