Nested GestureDetector should take precedence over parent InkWell
Describe the bug
When theres a GestureDetector down the widget tree which has its onTap set, it takes precedence over the InkWell higher up the tree. But this is not the case when it comes to RumUserActionAnnotation 👇🏼
Reproduction steps
final class TestWidget extends StatelessWidget {
const TestWidget({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return RumUserActionAnnotation(
description: 'TestWidget',
attributes: {'placement': 'parent'},
child: InkWell(
onTap: () => 'parent tapped',
child: Container(
width: 100,
height: 100,
color: Colors.white,
alignment: Alignment.center,
child: Column(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: [
Text('parent'),
RumUserActionAnnotation(
description: 'TestWidget - Child',
attributes: {'placement': 'child'},
child: GestureDetector(
onTap: () => 'child tapped',
child: Text('child'),
),
),
],
),
),
),
);
}
}

👍 I'll look into this. I need to double check but I think InkWell actually has a GestureDetector built into it, which is why it's considered the "better" choice than a GestureDetector further down the tree.
You're right — InkWell does have a GestureDetector built into it, but when its child is also a GestureDetector, the onTap of the child is triggered instead. This means the child takes precedence over the parent in handling gestures.
Yes, this is more of an issue of how we detect what to put in the description. If there are no user specified GestureDetectors under the InkWell, than we need to scan the children of the InkWell to determine "what" you tapped, not its nested GestureDetector.
