This change reverts the following previous change:
Currently when using a `CustomScrollView`, screen readers cannot list or
move focus to elements that are outside the current Viewport and cache
extent because we do not create semantic nodes for these elements.
This change introduces `SliverEnsureSemantics` which ensures its sliver
child is included in the semantics tree, whether or not it is currently
visible on the screen or within the cache extent. This way screen
readers are aware the elements are there and can navigate to them /
create accessibility traversal menus with this information.
* Under the hood a new flag has been added to `RenderSliver` called
`ensureSemantics`. `RenderViewportBase` uses this in its
`visitChildrenForSemantics` to ensure a sliver is visited when creating
the semantics tree. Previously a sliver was not visited if it was not
visible or within the cache extent. `RenderViewportBase` also uses this
in `describeSemanticsClip` and `describeApproximatePaintClip` to ensure
a sliver child that wants to "ensure semantics" is not clipped out if it
is not currently visible in the viewport or outside the cache extent.
* `RenderSliverMultiBoxAdaptor.semanticBounds` now leverages its first
child as an anchor for assistive technologies to be able to reach it if
the Sliver is a child of `SliverEnsureSemantics`. If not it will still
be dropped from the semantics tree.
* `RenderProxySliver` now considers child overrides of `semanticBounds`.
On the engine side we move from using a joystick method to scroll with
`SemanticsAction.scrollUp` and `SemanticsAction.scrollDown` to using
`SemanticsAction.scrollToOffset` completely letting the browser drive
the scrolling with its current dom scroll position "scrollTop" or
"scrollLeft". This is possible by calculating the total quantity of
content under the scrollable and sizing the scroll element based on
that.

Monorepo is:
With depot_tools installed and on your path, create a directory for your monorepo checkout and run these commands to create a gclient solution in that directory:
mkdir monorepo cd monorepo gclient config --unmanaged https://dart.googlesource.com/monorepo gclient sync -D
This gives you a checkout in the monorepo directory that contains:
monorepo/ DEPS - the DEPS used for this gclient checkout commits.json - the pinned commits for Dart, flutter/engine, and flutter/flutter tools/ - scripts used to create monorepo DEPS engine/src/ - the flutter/buildroot repo flutter/ - the flutter/engine repo out/ - the build directory, where Flutter engine builds are created third_party/ - Flutter dependencies checked out by DEPS dart/ - the Dart SDK checkout. third_party - Dart dependencies, also used by Flutter flutter/ - the flutter/flutter repo
Flutter's instructions for building the engine are at Compiling the engine
They can be followed closely, with a few changes:
goma_ctl ensure_start is sufficient.Example build commands that work on linux:
MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD if [[ ! $PATH =~ (^|:)$MONOREPO_PATH/flutter/bin(:|$) ]]; then PATH=$MONOREPO_PATH/flutter/bin:$PATH fi export GOMA_DIR=$(dirname $(command -v gclient))/.cipd_bin goma_ctl ensure_start pushd engine/src flutter/tools/gn --goma --no-prebuilt-dart-sdk --unoptimized --full-dart-sdk autoninja -C out/host_debug_unopt popd
The Flutter commands used to build and run apps will use the locally built Flutter engine and Dart SDK, instead of the one downloaded by the Flutter tool, if the --local-engine option is provided.
For example, to build and run the Flutter spinning square sample on the web platform,
MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD cd flutter/examples/layers flutter --local-engine=host_debug_unopt \ -d chrome run widgets/spinning_square.dart cd $MONOREPO_PATH
To build for desktop, specify the desktop platform device in flutter run as -d macos or -d linux or -d windows. You may also need to run the command
flutter create --platforms=windows,macos,linux
on existing apps, such as sample apps. New apps created with flutter create already include these support files. Details of desktop support are at Desktop Support for Flutter
Tests in the Flutter source tree can be run with the flutter test command, run in the directory of a package containing tests. For example:
MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD cd flutter/packages/flutter flutter test --local-engine=host_debug_unopt cd $MONOREPO_PATH
Please file an issue or email the dart-engprod team with any problems with or questions about using monorepo.
We will update this documentation to address them.
flutter commands may download the engine and Dart SDK files for the configured channel, even though they will be using the local engine and its SDK.gclient sync needs to be run in an administrator session, because some installed dependencies create symlinks.
