"CocoaPods not installed or not in valid state" when running an integration test on iOS for a Flutter app

[mregnauld]

In my workflow, following the documentation and doing some extra work, I try to run integration tests on iOS for my Flutter app, by running the following script:

- name: Integration tests iOS
  script: |
    cd ios
    pod cache clean --all
    rm -rf Podfile.lock
    rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods
    rm -rf Pods
    rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
    pod deintegrate
    pod install
    cd ..
    flutter clean
    flutter pub get
    flutter emulators --launch apple_ios_simulator
    flutter -d iPhone test --machine > test-results/flutter.json integration_test --flavor free
  test_report: test-results/flutter.json

But for some reason, I got the following error:

TestDeviceException(Unable to start the app on the device.)
package:flutter_tools/src/test/integration_test_device.dart 60:7 
IntegrationTestTestDevice.start

And here is the log, where we can see the error CocoaPods not installed or not in valid state:

Build failed :|
Step 5 script `Integration tests iOS` exited with status code 1

And here is the build ID: 63c6b59ba1721a4df02291fe

What did I do wrong?

Hi @mregnauld, Let me check, i will get back to you.

[mregnauld]

Not sure, but apparently, by running the following, it helps:

- name: Install pods
  script: |
    find . -name "Podfile" -execdir pod install \;

That being said, now I have another error, as explained here.

A similar issue is happening for my team when moving to M1 machines on Codemagic when running Flutter integration tests.
The above pod install workaround seems to resolve the issue.
