unnecessary_late
Unnecessary 'late' modifier.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a top-level variable or static field with an initializer is marked as late
. Top-level variables and static fields are implicitly late, so they don't need to be explicitly marked.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because the static field c
has the modifier late
even though it has an initializer:
class C {
static late String c = '';
}
Common fixes
#Remove the keyword late
:
class C {
static String c = '';
}
