only_throw_errors
Don't throw instances of classes that don't extend either 'Exception' or 'Error'.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the value being thrown isn't a subclass of either Exception
or Error
.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because the string 'f'
is being thrown:
dart
void f() => throw 'f';
Common fixes
#Replace the value with an instance of a subclass of either Exception
or Error
:
dart
void f() => throw ArgumentError('f');
