Steps to reproduce
The documentation says that it is recommended to use SharedPreferencesWithCache or SharedPreferencesAsync, but all example tests, documentation, and API references do not provide information on how to use these APIs in tests. Tests do not pass by default, or with the old setup for SharedPreferences.
Expected results
Testing is documented or works out of the box.
Actual results
No testing documentation is available and UI tests fail with the following error:
Bad state: The SharedPreferencesAsyncPlatform instance must be set.
Code sample
Old test setup:
SharedPreferences.setMockInitialValues({});Screenshots or Videos
