avoid_ print
Don't invoke 'print' in production code.
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the function
print
is invoked
in production code.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because the function
print
can't be invoked in production:
void f(int x) {
print('x = $x');
}
Common fixes
#
If you're writing code that uses Flutter, then use the function
debugPrint
, guarded by a test
using
kDebugMode
:
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
void f(int x) {
if (kDebugMode) {
debugPrint('x = $x');
}
}
If you're writing code that doesn't use Flutter, then use a logging
service, such as
package:logging
, to write the
information.
