Patrol Test throwing 'Error: target integration_test/patrol.dart is invalid'

[vishalshettyafero]

1. I have followed the steps to setup up Patrol using the link: https://patrol.leancode.co/getting-started
2. I have created a new test called 'patrol.dart' below under 'integration_test'. I wanted to test some native features.

patrol.dart code:

void main() {
IntegrationTestWidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
final fieldText = TextEditingController();
group(
'smoke test for the app',
() {
patrolTest(
'verify that user is about to create a group with no devices',nativeAutomation: true,
(PatrolTester $) async {
app.main();
await $.pumpAndSettle();
await Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 2));
final addbtn= find.byType(FloatingActionButton);
await $.tap(addbtn);
await $.pumpAndSettle();
await Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 2));
await $.native.pressBack();
await $.native.pressHome();
await Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 5));
},
);
}
);
}
4. Command to exectute the test : patrol test --target integration_test/patrol.dart --flavor development
5. It throws an 'Error: target integration_test/patrol.dart is invalid'
What could be the reason as I am able to execute the flutter tests successfully?

The test file must end with _test.dart.

Made the changes as suggested- we get the below error after running the "patrol test --target integration_test/patrol_test.dart --flavor development" command

This doesn't look like a problem with Patrol. Is your app building when you flutter build? Do what the message says.

try this --> patrol test --flavor development --target integration_test/patrol.dart
