illegal_ async_ generator_ return_ type
Details about the 'illegal_async_generator_return_type' diagnostic produced by the Dart analyzer.
Functions marked 'async*' must have a return type that is a supertype of 'Stream
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the body of a function has the
async* modifier even though the return type of the function isn't either
Stream or a supertype of Stream.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because the body of the
function f has the 'async*' modifier even though the return type int
isn't a supertype of Stream:
int f() async* {}
Common fixes
#
If the function should be asynchronous, then change the return type to be
either Stream or a supertype of Stream:
Stream<int> f() async* {}
If the function should be synchronous, then remove the async* modifier:
int f() => 0;
