Hey Jahmal, will this solution still work? As Flutter has deprecated the support for HTML renderer, this solution won't work right?

[ImashaIllangasinghe]

Thanks Jahmal for sharing this info. But we tried this way and still unable to generate unique ids for some elements which doesn't have labels. Having dynamic IDs are ok if you have any other way to capture it. But like text fields, radio buttons it is impossible to capture the elements unless they have a unique ID. Do you have a solution for this too?

Thank you so much for the tutorial; it was incredibly helpful! I also noticed the interesting animations. If you don’t mind sharing, were they custom-made, or did you use a specific library or package? If it’s a package, could you let me know which one? I’d love to try it out.

Thanks again!

Thanks! In which Flutter version did they introduce this? Because I followed the steps and still couldn't inspect every element

Will this still work even if you choose the Canvaskit renderer instead of the HTML?

It's really good! Thank you soo much for this video dude;

Yeah, it's a good solution, but the IDs or CSS selectors of the elements always change. For example, one button has an ID of 'flt-semantic-node-12', and when you click it and navigate back, it's 'flt-semantic-node-88' or something similar.
