cast_from_null_always_fails
This cast always throws an exception because the expression always evaluates to 'null'.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when an expression whose type is
Null
is being cast to a non-nullable type.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because n
is known to always
be null
, but it's being cast to a non-nullable type:
dart
void f(Null n) {
n as int;
}
Common fixes
#Remove the unnecessary cast:
dart
void f(Null n) {
n;
}
