Describe the problem

Per this issue, we are now recommending users that running flutter test to only use the flutter_test dependency in their pubspec.yaml file. However, in this link, for unit tests, it gives the user the option to either use the test or flutter_test depedency.

Expected fix

We should only recommend to use the flutter_test dependency to ensure that we don't have any version solving issues for the flutter test command specifically.

Additional context

Because flutter_test depends on pinned versions of test_api, we can ensure that we won't have any version mismatches between the app pubspec and the flutter tool pubspec. More details can be found in the below issue:

• The flutter test command should require a flutter_test or test_api dependency (and check for it). flutter#91107

I also have a PR to ensure we check for this dependency in the app pubspec:

• Checking for flutter_test dev depedency for flutter test command flutter#139498

I would like to fix this problem.

• I will try and fix this problem on docs.flutter.dev.
