The tests are absurdly slow #161
Description

Originally opened as https://github.com/flutter/engine/issues/1172
The tests take too long to run. I don't understand why; they should take mere milliseconds.

How long do they take to run on your machine?

43s wall-clock (1m18s user, presumably across two CPUs?).
For comparison, the analyzer takes 6 seconds (which is also too long), and telling the device to start the app takes around 2 seconds (which is also too long).

Sounds like the same issue @apwilson was having with the test harness crawling symlinks.

yeah, though i wasn't able to figure out which version of the test package it's using so i could change it. :-/

Oh hey I did a gclient sync and now it does pick up my hacked copy of test. Now it runs in 6 seconds!

Awesome!
Just for reference, the workaround is this: apwilson/test@368cf30

And for reasons why dart/test don't want to implement that fix, see: dart-lang/test#337
TLDR: This issue will fix itself in a few months when the dart packages link goes away.

@Hixie I think this is fixed now that
flutter testdoes it's own walk to find the files.github-actions commentedon Sep 7, 2021
