Process.run() on local machine during Flutter integration test - flutter

Question

I write some integration tests for my Flutter application and I need to execute some shell commands on my local machine during testing.
I know that I can execute these commands with Process.run(), but during the integration tests this command is executed on my android phone instead of my local machine.
Is there any way to run a command on my local machine during my integration test?

Somehow with flutter driver it works running processes on your test machine.
In my case it is opening a deep link while running flutter tests. then you get the context.
flutter drive \
--driver=test_driver/driver_tests/your_test.dart \
--target=test_driver/your_driver.dart
your_driver.dart:
import 'package:flutter_driver/driver_extension.dart';
import 'package:arriba/main.dart' as app;
void main() {
enableFlutterDriverExtension();
app.main();
}
your_test.dart:
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:flutter_driver/flutter_driver.dart';
import 'package:test/test.dart';
//!! DOES NOT RUN WITHOUT FLUTTER DRIVER MAIN !!
void main() {
late FlutterDriver driver;
const String shareLink = 'your_link.html';
setUpAll(() async {
driver = await FlutterDriver.connect();
});
tearDownAll(() async {
await driver.close();
});
test(
'starting deep link test',
() async {
driver.waitUntilFirstFrameRasterized();
await Process.run(
'adb',
[
'-d',
'shell',
'am',
'start',
'-a android.intent.action.VIEW',
'-c android.intent.category.BROWSABLE',
'-d $shareLink',
'YOUR PACKAGE NAME',
],
).then((result) {
stdout.write(result.stdout);
stderr.write(result.stderr);
});
},
timeout: const Timeout(Duration(seconds: 60)),
);
}
