[flutter_tools] Add flutter capture command with screenshot/recording subcommands - #190953

Tests are failing:

  - 'IOSDevice' is from 'package:flutter_tools/src/ios/devices.dart' ('flutter/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/ios/devices.dart').

@vashworth All fixed and tests passing locally:

1. fd588f8 — fixed _fileSystem and _processUtils compile errors
2. e1b935b — merged upstream/master, resolved conflicts in 3 files
3. b23160a — fixed post-merge test failures in macos_device_test.dart

All devices_test.dart (36 tests) and macos_device_test.dart (19 tests) pass.

@bkonyi Could you add the CICD label when you get a chance? The compile errors from the last round are fixed and tests are passing locally. Thanks!

Thanks for the thorough review @bkonyi! Pushed a rebase onto latest master with all inline comments addressed:

Compilation / CI fixes:

• capture_command_test.dart: added fileSystem: MemoryFileSystem.test() to _TestDeviceManager (required after [tool] Complete context runner elimination and migrate AppContext usages to ToolContext #190797).
• simulators_test.dart: added full constructor params (cocoaPods, templateRenderer, xcodeProjectInterpreter, etc.) and updated Xcode.test to use toolContext:.

Android pkill fix:

• Dropped the custom signalStop callback entirely. Now uses exec screenrecord so SIGHUP from adbd reaches the process directly. Added while pidof screenrecord > /dev/null; do sleep 0.1; done before adb pull to wait for MP4 finalization.
• Updated android_device_test to match (exec screenrecord, pidof wait, removed pkill expectations).

daemon_test.dart:

• Added supportsScreenRecording => true to FakeAndroidDevice and 'screenRecording': true to expected capabilities.

Simulator --duration test:

• Rewrote using fakeAsync — process hangs on a Completer, time is advanced past the duration to trigger the timeout path, then the completer resolves. Verifies done stays pending until after the timeout fires.

Other cleanup:

• core_devices.dart / devices.dart: removed single-field destructuring per nits.
• ios/devices.dart: on Exception → on ProcessException in takeScreenshot.
• core_devices_test.dart: removed dead takeScreenshotSuccess field.
• macos_device.dart: added comment about whole-screen capture limitation (screencapture doesn't support per-window recording by PID).

Test results:

dart analyze — no issues on all changed files.

Hi @bkonyi — all review comments from Nov 4 have been addressed and pushed. Could you add the CICD label when you get a chance so the full test suite runs? Thanks.

looks like the code is not formatted with dart format which causes other tests to not run

Thanks @reidbaker — good catch. Rebased onto latest master, resolved the merge conflicts, and ran dart format across all changed files. The formatting issue in devices.dart is fixed.

@bkonyi Could you add the CICD label when you get a chance? Ready for a full test run.

Addressed all 4 comments from the latest review:

1. Removed both toolContext! overrides — non-nullable on master now
2. Added supportsScreenRecording => false to FakeAndroidDevice in proxied_devices_test
3. Registered capture_command_test.dart in tool_test_durations.json
4. Removed extra blank line in macos_device.dart imports

Also caught RPCError in runSkia to fix #196119 (Impeller + SKP crash), with a regression test.

@bkonyi Could you add the CICD label when you get a chance? Thanks!

Manual test results — macOS and Android physical device (Redmi 8A Dual, API 29):

I don't think you have the correct permissions set. All of these captures are only showing system UI.

I've validated Android emulators + iOS simulators as well as macOS. Will validate physical Android and iOS devices today.

It also looks like there's some analysis failures that need to be resolved before we can rerun the CI checks.

Hi @GhagSagar23, it looks like your commit from Nov 7 wasn't pushed (HEAD is still at 466c757b56be), and there are merge conflicts with master now as well. Can you merge master, resolve the conflicts, and push?

Also, FYI I already have #196132 up for review for #196119, so no need to include the runSkia fix here.

@bkonyi Thanks for the heads up! Pushed the missing commit, merged master, and resolved conflicts. Also dropped the runSkia RPCError fix from this PR since your #196132 covers it. Should be good for another look.

@bkonyi Rebased onto master — the RPCError fix from #196132 is now upstream so the duplicate in this branch is gone. Conflicts resolved, CI should be green shortly.
