How to fix this nullOk error when using the flutter_svg package?

Question

I connected the package, added it to main.dart, I try to compile the application, but I get this error. Help! What should I do about it?

error

Answer 1

Follow the steps below

1. add the following dependency

  flutter_svg: ^0.20.0-nullsafety.3

2. run flutter clean command
3. run flutter pub get command
4. run flutter run command or run the project

Answer 2

Everyone is right: putting flutter_svg: ^0.20.0-nullsafety.3 or flutter_svg: ^0.19.3 (in case you can't migrate to null safety yet) is the solution. I want to add a little thing: if you're using a package which depends on flutter_svg and you still get the error due to older versions usage, you can fix it in this way:

dependency_overrides:
  flutter_svg: ^0.19.3

I lost plenty of time because the flags: ^3.2.2 package was using flutter_svg: ^0.19.1 and it led to the same error.

Answer 3

The problem is that the version of Flutter with null-safety enabled (currently on the beta channel as of writing), the nullOk parameter was removed Localizations.localeOf, but you're using a package (in this case, flutter_svg) that is still using nullOk.

If you're using the null-safe version of Flutter, you should use null-safe versions of other packages too, if available. Alternatively you can stick with the latest version of Flutter without null-safety (version 1.22.x) until all of your dependent packages have been migrated for null-safety.

Answer 4

I have faced the same problem . After I finally got the solution. Here Simple:

At first you add Pre-Release the following dependency:

flutter_svg: ^0.20.0-nullsafety.3

Then run flutter pub get command

Now you can run your project . See that there is no error .

Answer 5

On line 57 of the locally cached file /lib/src/picture_provider.dart (see the full path from the error message)replace Localizations.localeOf(context, nullOk: true), with Localizations.maybeLocaleOf(context)

This is quick and dirty solution, but should hold until the package is fixed.

Answer 6

Note that if you want to fix this error for yourself or for a package that you are using, you can fix it the following way

In order to modify your code to use the new form of the APIs, convert all instances of calls that include nullOk = true as a parameter to use the maybe form of the API instead.

MediaQueryData? data = MediaQuery.of(context, nullOk: true);

becomes

MediaQueryData? data = MediaQuery.maybeOf(context);

More about how to migrate towards null-safety in the official documentation

Answer 7

Tried everything, in vain.

Finally, the updating a dependency worked for me.

This is what I updated in my pubspec.yaml file:

Removed

flutter_svg: ^0.18.0

and added

flutter_svg: ^0.20.0-nullsafety.3

Then, ran

flutter pub get

Answer 8

simply go into the file in .pub-cache and correct the argument from localeOf(context, nullOk: true) to localeOf(context)
