Screenshot taken with LiveTestWidgetsFlutterBinding is truncated

Internal: b/168776765

When using LiveTestWidgetsFlutterBinding, screenshots of top level widgets are truncated.

Context: We're trying to support screenshot testing in g3 with package:integration_test, where the widgets binding inherits from LiveTestWidgetsFlutterBinding. The following is a minimal repro with just flutter test.

Steps to Reproduce

Run flutter test with the following test file:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';

void main() {
  LiveTestWidgetsFlutterBinding();
  testWidgets('goldens', (tester) async {
    await tester.pumpWidget(buildTestApp());
    await expectLater(
        find.byType(MaterialApp), matchesGoldenFile('screenshot.png'));
  });
}

Widget buildTestApp() {
  final app = MaterialApp(
    title: 'Test',
    home: Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('Title'),
      ),
    ),
  );

  // screenshot is taken for _LiveTestRenderView#c6f40
  return app;

  // screenshot is taken for RenderRepaintBoundary#f72ed
  // return RepaintBoundary(child: app);
}

Expected behavior: Screenshot covers the full MaterialApp.

Similar to this image from AutomatedTestWidgetsFlutterBinding (with L5 commented out)

Actual Image (which looks truncated)

When I added some instrumentation to the renderObject used for taking a screenshot at

flutter/packages/flutter_test/lib/src/_matchers_io.dart

Line 32 in fa64633

return layer.toImage(renderObject.paintBounds);

The renderObject is a LiveTestRenderView: _LiveTestRenderView#c6f40.

Adding a RepaintBoundary around MaterialApp (the last second line of the snippet) fixes the issue.

LiveTestWidgetsFlutterBinding with RepaintBoundary Image

#12994 looks like it could be related. It is pretty unexpected that a RepaintBoundary is needed just for LiveTestWidgetsFlutterBinding, but not for the default AutomatedTestWidgetsFlutterBinding, so this could be a bug. With AutomatedTestWidgetsFlutterBinding, the renderObject used for the screenshot is RenderRepaintBoundary#1d14f.

Another thing I noticed is that if the following

flutter/packages/flutter_test/lib/src/binding.dart

Line 1674 in fa64633

: _paintMatrix = _getMatrix(size, window.devicePixelRatio, window),

is set to

_paintMatrix = _getMatrix(size, 1.0, window)

the correct bounds are used for the image, though this probably isn't the correct fix.

What if we just have the binding throw a repaint boundary around the whole view?

[integration_test] Wrap pumped widgets with a RepaintBoundary

That's a great idea for a workaround! Sending #70368

The problem here is that TestViewConfiguration does not override the setting of devicePixelRatio, so it gets set to 1.0 no matter what.

This thread has been automatically locked since there has not been any recent activity after it was closed. If you are still experiencing a similar issue, please open a new bug, including the output of flutter doctor -v and a minimal reproduction of the issue.

This is roughly what happened for reference:

Fix DPR in test view configuration #88609 is supposed to fix the issue and remove the workaround of adding a repaint boundary in flutter_test
Failure for the above pr detected b/197699775#comment3. I don't remember the complete details but cl/392929256 was suggested as the fix but it seemed like a deeper issue with the framework so it wasn't submitted
Fix DPR in test view configuration #88609 was reverted in Revert "Fix DPR in test view configuration" #88889
Sometime later Does not replace the root layer unnecessarily #101748 was submitted which contains Fix DPR in test view configuration #88609 partially, but does not include the removal of the repaint boundary workaround
Remove workaround since #66006 is fixed #106913 was sent to remove the workaround.
- This is causing an internal test documented in b/168776765 to have inconsistent screenshots.
- Note that the failure in step (2) does not appear now.

The next step would be for a Googler to debug this test and figure out why it the screenshots are inconsistent without the repaint boundary.

This issue is marked P1 but has had no recent status updates.

The P1 label indicates high-priority issues that are at the top of the work list. This is the highest priority level a bug can have if it isn't affecting a top-tier customer or breaking the build. Bugs marked P1 are generally actively being worked on unless the assignee is dealing with a P0 bug (or another P1 bug). Issues at this level should be resolved in a matter of months and should have monthly updates on GitHub.

Please consider where this bug really falls in our current priorities, and label it or assign it accordingly. This allows people to have a clearer picture of what work is actually planned. Thanks!

Remove `RepaintBoundary` that is no longer needed. (#159232)
