For #61407 , we need to be able to find all widgets that of a given type. Previously I experimented with using the type name, but of course this does not handles subtypes. The actual check needs to be an is check. Since there is no way to convert a String to a Type at runtime for use in this check, we can instead evaluate an expression which assigns a closure to a field. The idea for this was inspired by how the dart devtools adds debug functionality to older versions of flutter. Since the reload feature is not complete yet, adds an integration test which simulates how it will eventually behave
Integration tests
These tests are not hermetic, and use the actual Flutter SDK. While
they don't require actual devices, they run flutter_tester to test
Dart VM and Flutter integration.
Use this command to run (from the flutter_tools directory):
../../bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin/pub run test test/integration.shard
These tests are expensive to run and do not give meaningful coverage information for the flutter tool (since they are black-box tests that run the tool as a subprocess, rather than being unit tests). For this reason, they are in a separate shard when running on continuous integration and are not run when calculating coverage.
