Debugging tests is unnecessarily hard #163
Description
Wednesday Sep 16, 2015 at 19:49 GMT
Originally opened as https://github.com/flutter/engine/issues/1196
It would be great if there was a way to launch a single test in Observatory. Right now since there's no way to set breakpoints before you've loaded the code, the only way I can think to do it is to modify the code to call debugger(), then run the test, then attach the debugger (somewhere? it's not clear where to attach it, really). Really I want the equivalent of "start with gdb" but for observatory.

cc @devoncarew as we're exploring a debugger
Would make a ton of sense to right-click on a single test and run that, with the debugger, from Atom

@Hixie has a patch in progress which may address some of this?

It's not yet easy to debug a test under
flutter testin observatory. What I'm doing will make it possible to test underflutter run, but that's not really the same.sethladd commentedon Sep 20, 2016
Did we make progress on this?
I'd like to clarify this request is for making it easier to debug a test without using an IDE. We could open a separate request for a test runner (implied: debugging) in the IDE plugin, but I believe you are looking for a solution without the IDE?

What we need to resolve this is support for
flutter test --start-paused filename.dart.flutter test --start-paused (#7584)
Prepare for new clang version (flutter#163)
