Research direction

Start with flutter_cache_manager/example/test/widget_test.dart and compare it with the outdated recipe described in the issue. Check the README to identify where a widget-testing recipe should be linked; done means the example works with the current API and the README points readers to it.

Description

💬 Questions and Help

I was trying to follow on old medium article linked in a stack overflow question to figure out how to write a widget test for a component that relies on CacheManager.

Unfortunately, it seems like a new version significantly changed the API and the recipe provided there is all kinds of broken. I wonder if it would be possible for someone to link from the readme a recipe for how to write such a test (possibly by implementing https://github.com/Baseflow/flutter_cache_manager/blob/develop/flutter_cache_manager/example/test/widget_test.dart and linking to it?)
