The context:
I stumbled upon a minor crash while testing a ListView
of Dismissible
s in Flutter. When swiping a dismissible, a Dialog
is shown using the confirmDismiss
option, for confirmation. This all works well, however the UI crashes when testing an unlikely use case. On the page are several options to navigate to other (named) routes. When a dismissible is swiped, and during the animation an option to navigate to a new route is tapped, the crash happens.
How to replicate the crash:
- Dismiss the Dismissible
- During the animation that follows (the translation of the position of the dismissible), tap on an action that brings you to a new route. The timeframe to do this is minimal, I've extended it in the example.
- The new route loads and the UI freezes
For reference, this is the error message:
AnimationController.reverse() called after AnimationController.dispose()
The culprit is the animation that tries to reverse when it was already disposed:
Things I've tried:
Initially, I tried checking this.mounted
inside the showDialog builder
but quickly realised the problem is not situated there.
Another idea was to circumvent the problem by using CancelableOperation.fromFuture
and then cancelling it in the dispose()
method of the encompassing widget, but that was to no avail.
What can I do solve or at least circumvent this issue?
