invalid_visible_for_overriding_annotation
The annotation 'visibleForOverriding' can only be applied to a public instance member that can be overridden.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when anything other than a public instance member of a class is annotated with visibleForOverriding
. Because only public instance members can be overridden outside the defining library, there's no value to annotating any other declarations.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because the annotation is on a class, and classes can't be overridden:
import 'package:meta/meta.dart';
@visibleForOverriding
class C {}
Common fixes
#Remove the annotation:
class C {}
