main_ first_ positional_ parameter_ type
The type of the first positional parameter of the 'main' function must be a supertype of 'List
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the first positional parameter
of a function named main isn't a supertype of List<String>.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because List<int> isn't a
supertype of List<String>:
void main(List<int> args) {}
Common fixes
#
If the function is an entry point, then change the type of the first
positional parameter to be a supertype of List<String>:
void main(List<String> args) {}
If the function isn't an entry point, then change the name of the function:
void f(List<int> args) {}
