flutter_test finders still references flutter/material Tooltip widget

Steps to reproduce

Ensure you are using Flutter 3.47 with the material_ui package
Create a widget that exposes a Tooltip widget from the material_ui package
Write a test to ensure the Tooltip is visible by using find.byTooltip

Expected results

Tests should pass

Actual results

Tests fail

Code sample

testWidgets("Custom tooltips in NavigationBarDestination",
      (WidgetTester tester) async {
    await tester.pumpWidget(
      MaterialApp(
        home: Scaffold(
          bottomNavigationBar: NavigationBar(
            destinations: const <NavigationDestination>[
              NavigationDestination(
                label: "A",
                tooltip: "A tooltip",
                icon: Icon(Icons.ac_unit),
              ),
              NavigationDestination(
                label: "B",
                icon: Icon(Icons.battery_alert),
              ),
              NavigationDestination(
                label: "C",
                icon: Icon(Icons.cake),
                tooltip: "",
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );

    expect(find.text("A"), findsOneWidget);
    await tester.longPress(find.text("A"));
    expect(find.byTooltip("A tooltip"), findsOneWidget);

    expect(find.text("B"), findsOneWidget);
    await tester.longPress(find.text("B"));
    expect(find.byTooltip("B"), findsOneWidget);

    expect(find.text("C"), findsOneWidget);
    await tester.longPress(find.text("C"));
    expect(find.byTooltip("C"), findsNothing);

══╡ EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY FLUTTER TEST FRAMEWORK ╞════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The following TestFailure was thrown running a test:
Expected: exactly one matching candidate
  Actual: _WidgetPredicateWidgetFinder:<Found 0 widgets with widget matching predicate: []>
   Which: means none were found but one was expected

When the exception was thrown, this was the stack:

This was caught by the test expectation on the following line:
  file:///Users/hans/Projects/custom_adaptive_scaffold/test/framework_mirror/navigation_bar_test.dart line 549
The test description was:
  Custom tooltips in NavigationBarDestination
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Analysis

The bug appears to be in flutter_test/lib/src/finders.dart on line 13:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart' show Tooltip;

Rather than referencing the new material_ui package, it's expecting a Tooltip rom the old flutter/material.dart.

@hanskokx

@hanskokx Thanks for the report. I tried reproducing the issue using the provided test case on Flutter 3.47.0, but the test passes successfully with:

00:04 +1: All tests passed!

I have attached my test/tooltip_test.dart file for reference. Could you please provide a minimal reproducible project and including the pubspec.yaml.

@suryaKommana2662 Feel free to pull down my repo -> https://github.com/hanskokx/custom_adaptive_scaffold/tree/6.0.0-dev

@hanskokx

@hanskokx Thanks for providing the repository. I pulled the custom_adaptive_scaffold/tree/6.0.0-dev branch and was able to reproduce the issue locally on Flutter 3.47.0. I ran the specific test with:

flutter test test/framework_mirror/navigation_bar_test.dart \
  --name "Custom tooltips in NavigationBarDestination"

The test fails with:

Expected: exactly one matching candidate
Actual: _WidgetPredicateWidgetFinder:
Found 0 widgets with widget matching predicate: []

The failure occurs at navigation_bar_test.dart:575, matching the reported behavior. Routing to the team-framework for further investigation.

I've introduced the findByTooltip method directly in my test (see this commit), as it did not appear to be exported via the material_ui package. The test now passes, however I had expected the method to be exported from material_ui and it was a bit odd to me that it wasn't.

[material_ui] Migrate off of flutter_test's find.byTooltip and on to …
