not sure being sure if writing a test for this keyword

• would be meaningful
• how to write such a test

I'd like to exclude the line from coverage until my doubts are cleared

question

how do I ignore a line in dart-lang/coverage

Answer 1

I see this. Not perfect, but a solution

// coverage:ignore-line to ignore one line.
// coverage:ignore-start and // coverage:ignore-end to ignore range of lines inclusive.
// coverage:ignore-file to ignore the whole file.

Answer 2

This might help meanwhile:

// coverage:ignore-start
}) : super(
begin: begin,
end: end,
);
// coverage:ignore-end

Answer 3

In documentation for widget_tester.dart

testWidgets('MyWidget asserts invalid bounds', (WidgetTester tester) async {
  await tester.pumpWidget(MyWidget(-1));
  expect(tester.takeException(), isAssertionError); // or isNull, as appropriate.
});
