Use case

As flutter's desktop app developer
I want to be able to mimic mouse interactions
So that I'm able to confidently test my application

Proposal

Support mouse interaction in tests utils.

Some public test utils do not expose the possibility of defining the PointerDeviceKind, eg.

We're missing a way to use mimic mouse wheel scroll, and the only scroll related method assumes that the device uses drag to scroll (see scrollUntilVisible).

It would make sense to add a pointer type argument to those methods, yeah.

I did a quick attempt at that, and I had to return the Pointer so that I could call .removePointer manually on my tests. Personally it felt like an unnecessary hurdle for the end-user (in this case a developer creating tests) and it would be nice to have done automatically by the framework.

Can you elaborate on that? Why do you need to call removePointer?

Another option would be to have a TestMouse object exposed as tester.mouse which has things like "moveTo", "click", "dragTo", "down", "up", etc.

The triaged-desktop label is irrelevant if there is no team-desktop label or fyi-desktop label.
