flutter integration test with FlutterDrive how to do a long press

Question

I am trying to do a long-press with flutter drive integration test.

Answer 1

Update

The longPress method has been added to the WidgetTester class

FlutterDriver doesn't seem to have this method out of the box.

await driver.scroll(target, 0, 0, Duration(milliseconds: 400));

Answer 2

longPress
