Ability to test Rust side without Dart

[shakhzodkudratov]

Hello! First of all, thank you very much for the library. It is really the best of both worlds. But working in a team in a different hardware leads to a long time waiting for a flutter restart. I am interested in running tests without running Flutter. Is it possible/planned to add feature like this?

Hi :)

Running tests without Flutter, using only Rust code would be easy using tokio::test.

If you need other information, please let me know!

Hello! Thanks for the response! Yes, if the logic is not tied to rinf signals directly it is great. But what I meant is the ability to test with rinf signals.

The example provided in https://github.com/cunarist/rinf/blob/main/flutter_package%2Fexample%2Fnative%2Fhub%2Fsrc%2Ftesting%2Fmod.rs#L15 is still waiting for dart to compile and send required signals to trigger the rust side.

If we have some kind of sending dart signals mechanism for the rust side only for testing purposes like in https://github.com/cunarist/rinf/blob/main/rust_crate%2Fsrc%2Flib.rs#L12, I think it would be great!

We're already using something like that for our CI:

• https://github.com/cunarist/rinf/blob/main/flutter_package/example/test/complex_signal_test.dart

I think this is the closest example you can get :)

Discovered that you actually can implement Handler instead of Notifiable to get resulting output.

I should have to read the docs carefully. Now library turned from good one to AWESOME!

#[tokio::test]
async fn test() {
    let mut actors = create_actors().await;
    let res: Response = actors
        .actor
        .send(Request {})
        .await
        .unwrap();

    println!("res: {res:?}");
    assert!(false);
}
