MissingPluginException, Flutter 0.8.2 and up

[trillom]

I'm receiving the following error: MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method crypto_box_keypair on channel flutter_sodium)

I've tried reloads, restarts, starting a new project with JUST the offending code, deleting generated files and rebuilding, nothing works. Code below.

• Flutter 0.8.2 and 0.9.6
• Android Studio 3.2
  • Build #AI-181.5540.7.32.5014246, built on September 17, 2018
  • JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1136-b06 x86_64
  • JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
• macOS 10.14

Example class:

import 'package:flutter_sodium/flutter_sodium.dart';

class KeygenTest {
  KeygenTest();

  Future<String> generateKeys () async {
    KeyPair keys = await CryptoBox.generateKeyPair();
    print (keys.toString());
    return "generated";
  }
}

Unit test:

import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';
import 'keygen.dart';

void main() {
  group("keygen", () {
    test("generate key", () async {
      KeygenTest test = new KeygenTest();
      await test.generateKeys();
    });
  });
}

Full output:

Flutter plugins (including flutter_sodium) don't work in unit tests. Tests run completely headless, in a dart only environment. There's no Android or iOS runtime available.

You can mock a plugin, see https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/services/MethodChannel/setMockMethodCallHandler.html
