TextFormField focus

[AndreiJCebotari]

Steps to reproduce

1. https://github.com/anormaly-io/patrol-integration-tests
2. branch test-input-focus
3. patrol develop -t integration_test/text_input_focus_test.dart

Actual results

1. I write in the text form 'input2' the value 'name 2'
2. I click on the button to change from read only the to editable the text form 'input1'
3. I write in the text form 'input1' the value 'input value 1'
4. The value it's not written in the text form 'input1'

For what I could undersand this way to use the focus doesn't allow to update the text form value.

FocusScope.of(context).requestFocus(_mainFocus);

Another observation it's that if I change the value of 'input1' instead of 'input2' than all works.

Not sure if the way I use focus it's wrong.

I am not quite sure, that i got your issue right: But i ran into a similar problem with entering text values into the same TextFormField. After doing some research, it was an underlying Flutter Test issue and it could be solved by just tapping onto the TextFormField every time before entering the value. No need for working with FocusScope in my case.

So i have created this little helper method:

/// Helper method to enter text into a widget as it has to be tapped first
/// if it has no focus
Future<void> enterText(PatrolFinder finder, String text) async {
  await finder.tap();
  await finder.enterText(text);
}

and instead of doing this:

await $(Key.myTextFormField).enterText('myNextTextValue')

i call my helper:

await enterText($(Key.myTextFormField), 'myNextTextValue')
