invalid_ annotation_ target
The annotation '{0}' can only be used on {1}.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when an annotation is applied to a kind of declaration that it doesn't support.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because the
optionalTypeArgs
annotation isn't defined to be valid for top-level variables:
import 'package:meta/meta.dart';
@optionalTypeArgs
int x = 0;
Common fixes
#Remove the annotation from the declaration.
