InputDecoration -> suffix Semantics.identifier not showing in Maestro.dev when building with Flutter 3.32.0 #169499
Description
Steps to reproduce
Hello Flutter team,
Yesterday we ran and passed our Maestro.dev tests, then decided to update Flutter from 3.29 to 3.32.
After that, some tests started failing. It turns out that Maestro.dev couldn't find some elements with specific identifiers.
To add a visible identifier for Maestro, we were using the Semantics widget with 'container:true' - see code sample.
While this Widget created a visible identifier for Maestro.dev to find on Flutter 3.29, it seems to no longer be the case with 3.32.
- Create the default project with 'flutter create'
- Replace the main.dart file by the code below.
- Run the app on Android
- Launch Maestro.dev
- Focus the TextInput and select the Container with Semantics
Expected results
The input decoration with the semantics 'myId' was visible by Maestro.dev in Flutter <= 3.29.
Actual results
The input decoration with the semantics 'myId' is not seen by Maestro.dev.
Our automated tests cannot find the element to click on, and fail:
Code sample
Code sample
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Input TextField ',
theme: ThemeData(colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(seedColor: Colors.deepPurple)),
home: const MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
const MyHomePage({super.key, required this.title});
final String title;
@override
State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
backgroundColor: Theme.of(context).colorScheme.inversePrimary,
title: Text(widget.title),
),
body: Center(
child: TextField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
suffix: Semantics(
identifier: 'myId',
container: true,
child: Container(width: 50, height: 50, color: Colors.amber),
),
),
),
),
);
}
}
