handlePointerEventRecord method
- List<
PointerEventRecord> records
override
A simulator of how the framework handles a series of PointerEvents received from the Flutter engine.
The PointerEventRecord.timeDelay is used as the time delay of the events injection relative to the starting point of the method call.
Returns a list of the difference between the real delay time when the PointerEventRecord.events are processed and PointerEventRecord.timeDelay.
- For AutomatedTestWidgetsFlutterBinding where the clock is fake, the return value should be exact zeros.
- For LiveTestWidgetsFlutterBinding, the values are typically small positives, meaning the event happens a little later than the set time, but a very small portion may have a tiny negative value for about tens of microseconds. This is due to the nature of Future.delayed.
The closer the return values are to zero the more faithful it is to the
records.
See PointerEventRecord.
Implementation
@override
Future<List<Duration>> handlePointerEventRecord(List<PointerEventRecord> records) {
assert(records.isNotEmpty);
return TestAsyncUtils.guard<List<Duration>>(() async {
final List<Duration> handleTimeStampDiff = <Duration>[];
DateTime? startTime;
for (final PointerEventRecord record in records) {
final DateTime now = clock.now();
startTime ??= now;
// So that the first event is promised to receive a zero timeDiff.
final Duration timeDiff = record.timeDelay - now.difference(startTime);
if (timeDiff.isNegative) {
// This happens when something (e.g. GC) takes a long time during the
// processing of the events.
// Flush all past events.
handleTimeStampDiff.add(-timeDiff);
record.events.forEach(binding.handlePointerEvent);
} else {
await Future<void>.delayed(timeDiff);
handleTimeStampDiff.add(
// Recalculating the time diff for getting exact time when the event
// packet is sent. For a perfect Future.delayed like the one in a
// fake async this new diff should be zero.
clock.now().difference(startTime) - record.timeDelay,
);
record.events.forEach(binding.handlePointerEvent);
}
}
return handleTimeStampDiff;
});
