修复常见的类型问题
If you're having problems with type checks, this page can help. To learn more, read about Dart's type system, and see these other resources.
Troubleshooting
#Dart enforces a sound type system.
This means you can't write code where a
variable's value differs from its static type.
A variable with an int
type can't store a number with a decimal place.
Dart checks variable values against their types at
compile-time and runtime.
You can't get into a situation where the value stored in a variable is different from the variable's static type. Like most modern statically typed languages, Dart accomplishes this with a combination of static (compile-time) and dynamic (runtime) checking.
For example, the following type error is detected at compile-time:
List<int> numbers = [1, 2, 3];
List<String> string = numbers;
Since neither List<int>
nor List<String>
is a subtype of the other,
Dart rules this out statically.
You can see other examples of static analysis errors, as well as other error types, in the following sections.
No type errors
#If you're not seeing expected errors or warnings, make sure that you're using the latest version of Dart and you have properly configured your IDE or editor.
You can also run analysis on your program using the command line
with the dart analyze
command.
To verify that analysis is working as expected, try adding the following code to a Dart file.
bool b = [0][0];
If properly configured, the analyzer produces the following error:
error - A value of type 'int' can't be assigned to a variable of type 'bool'. Try changing the type of the variable, or casting the right-hand type to 'bool'. - invalid_assignment
Static errors and warnings
#This section shows how to fix some of the errors and warnings you might see from the analyzer or an IDE.
Static analysis can't catch all errors. For help fixing errors that appear only at runtime, see Runtime errors.
Undefined member
#error - The <member> '...' isn't defined for the type '...' - undefined_<member>
These errors can appear under the following conditions:
- A variable is statically known to be some supertype, but the code assumes a subtype.
- A generic class has a bounded type parameter, but an instance creation expression of the class omits the type argument.
Example 1: A variable is statically known to be some supertype, but the code assumes a subtype
#In the following code, the analyzer complains that context2D
is undefined:
var canvas = querySelector('canvas')!;
canvas.context2D.lineTo(x, y);
error - The getter 'context2D' isn't defined for the type 'Element'. Try importing the library that defines 'context2D', correcting the name to the name of an existing getter, or defining a getter or field named 'context2D'. - undefined_getter
Fix: Replace the definition of the member with an explicit type declaration or a downcast
#The return type of querySelector()
is Element?
(which the !
converts to Element
),
but the code assumes that it's the subtype CanvasElement
(which defines context2D
).
The canvas
field is declared as var
,
which allows Dart to infer canvas
to be an Element
.
You can fix this error with an explicit downcast:
var canvas = querySelector('canvas') as CanvasElement;
canvas.context2D.lineTo(x, y);
Otherwise, use dynamic
in situations where you cannot use a single type:
dynamic canvasOrImg = querySelector('canvas, img');
var width = canvasOrImg.width;
Example 2: Omitted type parameters default to their type bounds
#Consider the following generic class with a bounded type parameter
that extends Iterable
:
class C<T extends Iterable> {
final T collection;
C(this.collection);
}
The following code creates a new instance of this class
(omitting the type argument) and accesses its collection
member:
var c = C(Iterable.empty()).collection;
c.add(2);
error - The method 'add' isn't defined for the type 'Iterable'. Try correcting the name to the name of an existing method, or defining a method named 'add'. - undefined_method
While the List type has an add()
method, Iterable does not.
Fix: Specify type arguments or fix downstream errors
#When a generic class is instantiated without explicit type arguments,
each type parameter defaults to its type bound (Iterable
in this example) if
one is explicitly given, or dynamic
otherwise.
You need to approach fixing such errors on a case-by-case basis. It helps to have a good understanding of the original design intent.
Explicitly passing type arguments is an effective way to help identify type
errors. For example, if you change the code to specify List
as a type
argument, the analyzer can detect the type mismatch in the constructor argument.
Fix the error by providing a constructor argument of the appropriate type,
such as a list literal:
var c = C<List>([]).collection;
c.add(2);
Invalid method override
#error - '...' isn't a valid override of '...' - invalid_override
These errors typically occur when a subclass tightens up a method's parameter types by specifying a subclass of the original class.
Example
#In the following example, the parameters to the add()
method are of type int
,
a subtype of num
, which is the parameter type used in the parent class.
abstract class NumberAdder {
num add(num a, num b);
}
class MyAdder extends NumberAdder {
@override
num add(int a, int b) => a + b;
}
error - 'MyAdder.add' ('num Function(int, int)') isn't a valid override of 'NumberAdder.add' ('num Function(num, num)'). - invalid_override
Consider the following scenario where floating
point values are passed to an MyAdder
:
NumberAdder adder = MyAdder();
adder.add(1.2, 3.4);
If the override were allowed, the code would raise an error at runtime.
Fix: Widen the method's parameter types
#The subclass's method should accept every object that the superclass's method takes.
Fix the example by widening the types in the subclass:
abstract class NumberAdder {
num add(num a, num b);
}
class MyAdder extends NumberAdder {
@override
num add(num a, num b) => a + b;
}
For more information, see Use proper input parameter types when overriding methods.
Missing type arguments
#error - '...' isn't a valid override of '...' - invalid_override
Example
#In the following example, Subclass
extends Superclass<T>
but doesn't
specify a type argument. The analyzer infers Subclass<dynamic>
,
which results in an invalid override error on method(int)
.
class Superclass<T> {
void method(T param) { ... }
}
class Subclass extends Superclass {
@override
void method(int param) { ... }
}
error - 'Subclass.method' ('void Function(int)') isn't a valid override of 'Superclass.method' ('void Function(dynamic)'). - invalid_override
Fix: Specify type arguments for the generic subclass
#When a generic subclass neglects to specify a type argument,
the analyzer infers the dynamic
type. This is likely to cause
errors.
You can fix the example by specifying the type on the subclass:
class Superclass<T> {
void method(T param) { ... }
}
class Subclass extends Superclass<int> {
@override
void method(int param) { ... }
}
Consider using the analyzer in strict raw types mode,
which ensures that your code specifies generic type arguments.
Here's an example of enabling strict raw types in
your project's analysis_options.yaml
file:
analyzer:
language:
strict-raw-types: true
To learn more about customizing the analyzer's behavior, see Customizing static analysis.
Unexpected collection element type
#error - A value of type '...' can't be assigned to a variable of type '...' - invalid_assignment
This sometimes happens when you create a simple dynamic collection and the analyzer infers the type in a way you didn't expect. When you later add values of a different type, the analyzer reports an issue.
Example
#The following code initializes a map with several
(String
, int
) pairs. The analyzer infers that map to be of type <String, int>
but the code seems to assume either <String, dynamic>
or <String, num>
.
When the code adds a (String
, double
) pair, the analyzer complains:
// Inferred as Map<String, int>
var map = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3};
map['d'] = 1.5;
error - A value of type 'double' can't be assigned to a variable of type 'int'. Try changing the type of the variable, or casting the right-hand type to 'int'. - invalid_assignment
Fix: Specify the type explicitly
#The example can be fixed by explicitly defining
the map's type to be <String, num>
.
var map = <String, num>{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3};
map['d'] = 1.5;
Alternatively, if you want this map to accept any value,
specify the type as <String, dynamic>
.
Constructor initialization list super() call
#error - The superconstructor call must be last in an initializer list: '...'. - super_invocation_not_last
This error occurs when the super()
call is not last in a constructor's
initialization list.
Example
#HoneyBadger(Eats food, String name)
: super(food),
_name = name { ... }
error - The superconstructor call must be last in an initializer list: 'Animal'. - super_invocation_not_last
Fix: Put the super()
call last
#The compiler can generate simpler code if it relies on the
super()
call appearing last.
Fix this error by moving the super()
call:
HoneyBadger(Eats food, String name)
: _name = name,
super(food) { ... }
The argument type ... can't be assigned to the parameter type ...
#error - The argument type '...' can't be assigned to the parameter type '...'. - argument_type_not_assignable
In Dart 1.x dynamic
was both a top type (supertype of all types) and a
bottom type (subtype of all types)
depending on the context. This meant it was valid to assign, for example,
a function with a parameter of type String
to a place that expected a
function type with a parameter of dynamic
.
However, in Dart 2 using a parameter type other than dynamic
(or another top
type, such as Object?
) results in a compile-time error.
Example
#void filterValues(bool Function(dynamic) filter) {}
filterValues((String x) => x.contains('Hello'));
error - The argument type 'bool Function(String)' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'bool Function(dynamic)'. - argument_type_not_assignable
Fix: Add type parameters or cast from dynamic explicitly
#When possible, avoid this error by adding type parameters:
void filterValues<T>(bool Function(T) filter) {}
filterValues<String>((x) => x.contains('Hello'));
Otherwise use casting:
void filterValues(bool Function(dynamic) filter) {}
filterValues((x) => (x as String).contains('Hello'));
Incorrect type inference
#On rare occasions, Dart's type inference might infer the
wrong type for function literal arguments in a generic constructor invocation.
This primarily affects Iterable.fold
.
Example
#In the following code,
type inference will infer that a
has a type of Null
:
var ints = [1, 2, 3];
var maximumOrNull = ints.fold(null, (a, b) => a == null || a < b ? b : a);
Fix: Supply appropriate type as explicit type argument
#var ints = [1, 2, 3];
var maximumOrNull =
ints.fold<int?>(null, (a, b) => a == null || a < b ? b : a);
Conflicting Superinterfaces
#A class which implements
more than one superinterface must be able to
implement valid overrides for every member of every superinterface.
Each member with a given name requires compatible signatures across the
superinterfaces.
Superinterfaces must not include conflicting generics.
A class can't implement both C<A>
and C<B>
, including indirect
superinterfaces.
Example
#In the following code,
class C
has conflicting generic interfaces.
Definitions of valid overrides for some members would be impossible.
abstract class C implements List<int>, Iterable<num> {}
Fix: Use consistent generics or avoid repeating transitive interfaces
#abstract class C implements List<int> {}
Runtime errors
#The errors discussed in this section are reported at runtime.
Invalid casts
#To ensure type safety, Dart needs to insert runtime checks in some cases.
Consider the following assumeStrings
method:
void assumeStrings(dynamic objects) {
List<String> strings = objects; // Runtime downcast check
String string = strings[0]; // Expect a String value
}
The assignment to strings
is downcasting the dynamic
to List<String>
implicitly (as if you wrote as List<String>
), so if the value you pass in
objects
at runtime is a List<String>
, then the cast succeeds.
Otherwise, the cast will fail at runtime:
assumeStrings(<int>[1, 2, 3]);
Exception: type 'List<int>' is not a subtype of type 'List<String>'
Fix: Tighten or correct types
#Sometimes, lack of a type, especially with empty collections, means that
a <dynamic>
collection is created, instead of the typed one you intended.
Adding an explicit type argument can help:
var list = <String>[];
list.add('a string');
list.add('another');
assumeStrings(list);
You can also more precisely type the local variable, and let inference help:
List<String> list = [];
list.add('a string');
list.add('another');
assumeStrings(list);
In cases where you are working with a collection that you don't create, such
as from JSON or an external data source, you can use the cast() method
provided by Iterable
implementations, such as List
.
Here's an example of the preferred solution: tightening the object's type.
Map<String, dynamic> json = fetchFromExternalSource();
var names = json['names'] as List;
assumeStrings(names.cast<String>());
Appendix
#The covariant keyword
#Some (rarely used) coding patterns rely on tightening a type
by overriding a parameter's type with a subtype, which is invalid.
In this case, you can use the covariant
keyword to
tell the analyzer that you are doing this intentionally.
This removes the static error and instead checks for an invalid
argument type at runtime.
The following shows how you might use covariant
:
class Animal {
void chase(Animal x) { ... }
}
class Mouse extends Animal { ... }
class Cat extends Animal {
@override
void chase(covariant Mouse x) { ... }
}
