Description

I am using wakelock_plus for one of my classes to keep player screen on. Test cases related to that file are failing. I was earlier using wakelock, recently updated to wakelock_plus. In the test case file I have a setupAll method where earlier for wakelock 'wakelock_macos' was used for MethodChannel name like below.

const channel = MethodChannel('wakelock_macos');
TestDefaultBinaryMessengerBinding.instance.defaultBinaryMessenger
        .setMockMethodCallHandler(channel, (MethodCall methodCall) async {
      return null;
    });

for this test cases were passed successfully.

After comparing the wakelock and wakelock_plus libraries, I attempted to utilise the MethodChannel named 'wakelock_plus_macos' for wakelock_plus in the same way that we used it for wakelock.
const channel = MethodChannel('wakelock_plus_macos');

But test cases are failing with below error:
PlatformException(channel-error, Unable to establish connection on channel: "dev.flutter.pigeon.wakelock_plus_platform_interface.WakelockPlusApi.toggle"., null, null)

Now if I use 'dev.flutter.pigeon.wakelock_plus_platform_interface.WakelockPlusApi.toggle' as the MethodChannel name like
const channel = MethodChannel('dev.flutter.pigeon.wakelock_plus_platform_interface.WakelockPlusApi.toggle');

I am getting another error:

What should be used for MethodChannel to run test cases successfully
