# super_in_redirecting_constructor

> Details about the super_in_redirecting_constructor diagnostic produced by the Dart analyzer.



_The redirecting constructor can't have a 'super' initializer._

## Description

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a constructor that redirects to
another constructor also attempts to invoke a constructor from the
superclass. The superclass constructor will be invoked when the constructor
that the redirecting constructor is redirected to is invoked.

## Example

The following code produces this diagnostic because the constructor `C.a`
both redirects to `C.b` and invokes a constructor from the superclass:

```dart
class C {
  C.a() : this.b(), [!super()!];
  C.b();
}
```

## Common fixes

Remove the invocation of the `super` constructor:

```dart
class C {
  C.a() : this.b();
  C.b();
}
```
