How to test a stream in Dart

Question

How to test a stream in dart? I have this code:

test('words are reading sequentially correct', () {
  WordTrackerInterface wordTracker = WordTracker.byContent('0 1 2');
  wordTracker.setWordsCountPerChunk(1);
  var stream = wordTracker.nextWordStringStream();

  expect(
      stream,
      emitsInOrder(List<Word>.generate(
          6, (i) => i > 2 ? Word('') : Word(i.toString()))));

  for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
    wordTracker.nextWord();
  }
});

I need to test that the member data Word::content which is a String is equal to that provided in the emitsInOrder.

Something like the following for stream:

expect(
    stream,
    emitsInOrder(List<Word>.generate(
        6, (i) => i > 2 ? Word('') : Word(i.toString()))),
    expect((Word actual, Word expected) {
  return actual.content == expected.content;
}));

Try using async/await and expectLater

test('words are reading sequentially correct', () async {
  WordTrackerInterface wordTracker = WordTracker.byContent('0 1 2');
  wordTracker.setWordsCountPerChunk(1);
  var stream = wordTracker.nextWordStringStream();

  await expectLater(
      stream,
      emitsInOrder(List<Word>.generate(
          6, (i) => i > 2 ? Word('') : Word(i.toString()))));

  for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
    wordTracker.nextWord();
  }
});
