One of the reasons why I think the Flutter Skeleton App is so sparse on best practices is that it’s a somewhat complicated thing to span two different testing environments with one distinct set of testing libraries. But, there are new libraries created that serve to allow us to span both unit testing and integrated, full-box testing.

One of the tools indirectly that makes this task easier is a small tool to help automate the flutter project workflow tasks. That tool is called Derry and let me show you how to set up and use Derry to automate the Flutter workflow automation tasks.

The sample code, and proof of it working in project reports in the reports folder can be found in the gtdd_seven_sven subfolder of the gtdd folder of this repo:

As a side note, I recently got burned by a small mistake and so you learn from my mess-up. In the analysis options YAML file to exclude files and directories from the Dart Analyzer tool scanning them, you have to enclose those entries in quotes.
