So I have a problem with my project regarding navigating/redirecting a user based on which collection he/she is present, either from Customers or Couriers. A user in a Customer collection can navigate to his/her respective dashboard, but if a user is from a Courier collection, I am stuck in a loading screen and it shows an error about the navigator.

Here is a snippet of the user type identification logic:

var a = await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('Customers').doc(user.uid).get();
if(a.exists){
    print('Customer exists');
    Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/dashboardLocation');
}
if(!a.exists){
    print('Customer does not exist, maybe courier');
}

var b = await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('Couriers').doc(user.uid).get();
if(b.exists){
    print('Courier exists');
    Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/courierDashboard');
}
if(!b.exists){
    print('Courier does not exist, maybe customer');
}

This is the error that I get:

E/flutter (19420): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(209)] Unhandled Exception: Null check operator used on a null value
E/flutter (19420): #0      StatefulElement.state (package:flutter/src/widgets/framework.dart:4789:44)
E/flutter (19420): #1      Navigator.of (package:flutter/src/widgets/navigator.dart:2730:47)
E/flutter (19420): #2      Navigator.pushNamed (package:flutter/src/widgets/navigator.dart:1742:22)

E/flutter (19420): <asynchronous suspension>
E/flutter (19420):

Thanks!

  • Are you sure the error arise from that part of code? Also have you checked [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64278595/null-check-operator-used-on-a-null-value) ? – Dharmaraj Aug 30 '21 at 10:05
  • Yes, the snippet that I shared is part of the login_screen.dart, which contains the stateful widget LoginScreen. The #3 error shows that, and when I click the "package:proxpress/UI/login_screen.dart:143:47", the cursor points to Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/courierDashboard'); – sleor Aug 30 '21 at 10:31
