Widget using Plural unable to be tested

[lockieRichter]

I am unable to run widget tests for a widget that uses the plural extension method.

The tests are failing with the following error

══╡ EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY WIDGETS LIBRARY ╞═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The following LateError was thrown building _OpenWorkCount(dirty):
LateInitializationError: Field '_locale@2908425997' has not been initialized.
...
When the exception was thrown, this was the stack:
#0      Localization._locale (package:easy_localization/src/localization.dart)
#1      Localization.plural (package:easy_localization/src/localization.dart:152:36)
#2      plural (package:easy_localization/src/public.dart:114:31)
#3      StringTranslateExtension.plural (package:easy_localization/src/public_ext.dart:104:10)
...

When I change the widget to use just a standard translation with the .tr extension method the tests pass.

Any help on how to set up my tests so that the locale gets initialised would be great.

Right now I am doing the following in my tests.

void main() async {
  testWidgets('Test', (tester) async {
    TestWidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
    SharedPreferences.setMockInitialValues({});
    EasyLocalization.logger.enableBuildModes = [];
    await EasyLocalization.ensureInitialized();
    await tester.pumpWidget(
      EasyLocalization(
        path: 'assets/translations',
        supportedLocales: const [
          Locale('en', 'US'),
        ],
        child: MaterialApp(
          home: WigetUnderTest(),
        ),
      ),
    );
  });
}
