sdk_version_constructor_tearoffs
Tearing off a constructor requires the 'constructor-tearoffs' language feature.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a constructor tear-off is found in code that has an SDK constraint whose lower bound is less than 2.15. Constructor tear-offs weren't supported in earlier versions, so this code won't be able to run against earlier versions of the SDK.
Example
#Here's an example of a pubspec that defines an SDK constraint with a lower bound of less than 2.15:
environment:
sdk: '>=2.9.0 <2.15.0'
In the package that has that pubspec, code like the following produces this diagnostic:
var setConstructor = Set.identity;
Common fixes
#If you don't need to support older versions of the SDK, then you can increase the SDK constraint to allow the operator to be used:
environment:
sdk: '>=2.15.0 <2.16.0'
If you need to support older versions of the SDK, then rewrite the code to not use constructor tear-offs:
var setConstructor = () => Set.identity();
