invalid_use_of_do_not_submit_member

Uses of '{0}' should not be submitted to source control.

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a member that is annotated with @doNotSubmit is referenced outside of a member declaration that is also annotated with @doNotSubmit.

Given a file a.dart containing the following declaration:

import 'package:meta/meta.dart';

@doNotSubmit
void emulateCrash() { /* ... */ }

The following code produces this diagnostic because the declaration is being referenced outside of a member that is also annotated with @doNotSubmit:

import 'a.dart';

void f() {
  emulateCrash();
}

Most commonly, when complete with local testing, the reference to the member should be removed.

If building additional functionality on top of the member, annotate the newly added member with @doNotSubmit as well:

import 'package:meta/meta.dart';

import 'a.dart';

@doNotSubmit
void emulateCrashWithOtherFunctionality() {
  emulateCrash();
  // do other things.
}
