📦 Add TapTest

TapTest uses a smart two-package approach that keeps your production app lean while ensuring clean namespace separation and clear separation of concerns - no testing bloat in your release builds!

Add these dependencies to your pubspec.yaml:

pubspec.yaml
dependencies:
  ...
  taptest_runtime: # Lightweight runtime (production-safe)

dev_dependencies:
  ...
  taptest: # Full testing power (dev-only)

Run the command to install the packages:

flutter pub get

💡 Two-Package Strategy: The taptest_runtime provides minimal production code, while taptest contains the full testing framework - keeping your release builds clean and fast!

📁 Project Structure​

Create the proper folder structure for organizing your tests. In your project root, create both test and integration_test folders:

Your Flutter Project
 ┣ 📂 lib
 ┃ ┗ 📄 main.dart
 ┣ 📂 test
 ┗ 📂 integration_test

You can create these folders using your IDE or terminal:

mkdir test integration_test

💡 Folder Purpose: The test folder is for so-called widget tests (underrated), while integration_test is for tests that run on real devices or emulators.
