testWidgets within a `group`

[brianegan]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a test file
2. Create a group declaration. e.g. group("MyGroupOfWidgetTests", () { /* Widget Tests here */ });
3. Put some widget tests within the group
4. Run the tests
5. PROBLEMS:
   - Tests are nested an extra level, making them a bit more difficult to read
   - One cannot run testWidgets tests individually within a group, only the group itself.

Workarounds

Remove the group and move tests to their own file. When tests are out of the group, they are displayed properly and can be run individually.

Thanks for this report. I have a good idea of what's happening and will take a look.

Any other feedback on the test integration would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the response!

Overall it's worked very well. I really prefer running tests from within my IDE for a fast red / green / refactor / debug loop, so these updates are a great addition :D

Good deal! Thanks for the follow-up and glad it's generally working well for you. I have a bead on what's up with the synthetic '-' test groups and hope to have a fix for the next release.

Cheers! 🍻

@pq I just discovered this problem working on Code -> dart-lang/test#836

I was going to open an issue questionning the - groups that are being added. Do you happen to know if there's a good reason for them? Am I better also working around this, or should we try to get flutter test changed in some way?
