Flutter IntelliJ plugin v16.0: Testing and app launching!

New testing support

We’ve added the ability to run individual Flutter tests via actions in the editor’s gutter:

And now support running Flutter’s widget tests; see https://flutter.io/testing/#widget-testing.

Project structure

We re-worked how we define Flutter project and module types in IntelliJ. This addresses a few outstanding issues and will let us more easily go into more IntelliJ based products in the future. The next time you open an existing project with the new version of the plugin, you’ll see a one-time ‘module type updated’ message:

Launching improvements

This release sports several improvements to app launching:

• Launch your app in profile and release modes (available via the ‘Run’ menu)
• Start Android emulators from the device dropdown; this requires the Android AVDs to have been already created in something like Android Studio
• Tweaks to when the run and reload buttons are enabled
