Can I get the text, or other attributes of a widget, once I find it?

Question

I'm writing a unit or integration test for Flutter. Can I get the text, or other attributes of a widget, once I find it?

Answer 1

Yes, WidgetTester provides multiple methods for probing into the UI tree (widgets, states, elements, render objects). Here's an example of how you can use it to read out the text out of a Text widget:

tester.widget(find.byType(Text)).data;
