The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a comment that appears to be an attempt to specify a language version override doesn't conform to the requirements for such a comment. For more information, see Per-library language version selection.

The following code produces this diagnostic because the word dart must be lowercase in such a comment and because there's no equal sign between the word dart and the version number:

// @Dart 2.13

If the comment is intended to be a language version override, then change the comment to follow the correct format:

// @dart = 2.13

Unless stated otherwise, the documentation on this site reflects Dart 3.8.1. Page last updated on 2025-05-08. View source or report an issue.
