Flutter Error: Could not find the correct ScopedModel


I am trying to create a scopedmodel in my flutter project and I can't seem to figure out why I get the error. What is wrong in this scopedmodel implementation? I have a home page with bottom navigator. Inside the profile tab, I fetch the list of followers which I need in a widget deep in the tree so I am trying to use scopedmodel.

The model code is

class RelationshipsModel extends Model {
        List<Relationship> relations;
        RelationshipsModel(this.relations);
        void add(String name) {
            relations.add(new Relationship("", "", name, name));
            notifyListeners();
      }
    }

Profile page that creates the scopedmodel is below. Here I get the followers list from Firebase in the state and use it to create the model for the scopedmodel.

 class ProfileWidget extends StatefulWidget {
      @override
      _ProfileWidgetState createState() => _ProfileWidgetState();
    }

class _ProfileWidgetState extends State<ProfileWidget> {
@override
  initState() {
    super.initState();
    getCurrentUserDetails();
  }
getCurrentUserDetails() async {
_name = await CacheService.getCurrentUser();
var following = await service.getFollowingList(_name);
setState(() {
      this._following = following;
    });
  }

 @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    if (this._name == null) {
      return new Container(
        child: const CupertinoActivityIndicator(),
      );
    }

return  ScopedModel<RelationshipsModel>(
        model: RelationshipsModel(this._following),
        child: Scaffold(
       //more stuff

         background: new Stack(children: <Widget>[
                  new CarouselWidget(),
                  new Align(
                    alignment: FractionalOffset.topCenter,
                    heightFactor: 6.0,
                    child: new Column(
                      mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                      children: <Widget>[
                        //Here I am creating the a widget that shows the list of followers and following
                        new FollowerInfoWidget(followers: this._followers,
                            following: this._following),
                      ],
                    ),
                  ),
                ])),


     )
   );
  }
}

The FollowerInfoWidget is below which calls the ProfileWidget or UserWidget based on the clicked user from the list

 class _FollowerState extends State<FollowerWidget> {

  Widget buildListTile(BuildContext context, Relationship item) {
    return new MergeSemantics(
      child: new ListTile(

        title: new Text(item.followerId),
        onTap: () async {
          if (item.followerId == await CacheService.getCurrentUser()) {
            Navigator.push(
              context,
              MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ProfileWidget()),
            );
          }
          else {
            Navigator.push(
              context,
              MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) =>
                  UserWidget(name: item.followerId)),
            );
          }
        },
        trailing: new Icon(Icons.info, color: Theme.of(context).disabledColor),
      ),
    );
  }

The button which is FollowUnFollowWidget is part of the UserWidget

    class UserWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  UserWidget(
      {Key key})
      : super(key: key);
  @override
  _UserWidgetState createState() => _UserWidgetState();
}

class _UserWidgetState extends State<UserWidget> {
@override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
      body: DefaultTabController(
//more stuff
 new FollowerInfoWidget(
                              followers: this._followers,
                              following: this._following,
                            ),
                            new FollowUnFollowWidget ()

And the widget that has the ScopedModelDescendant is below

class FollowUnFollowWidget extends StatelessWidget {  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ScopedModelDescendant<RelationshipsModel>(
        builder: (context, child, model) =>
            FloatingActionButton(
            onPressed: () {}
           //more stuff
       )
    );
  }
}

Solution

  • This code here will push a view which is either a ProfileWidget or a UserWidget

    onTap: () async {
          if (item.followerId == await CacheService.getCurrentUser()) {
            Navigator.push(
              context,
              MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ProfileWidget()),
            );
          }
          else {
            Navigator.push(
              context,
              MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) =>
                  UserWidget(name: item.followerId)),
            );
          }
        },
    

    Since UserWidget has the FollowUnFollowWidget the use of ScopedModelDescendant would not work since there is no ScopedModel above it. This ScopedModel is only defined with the ProfileWidget

    Looks like you need to add the ScopedModel to either the top of the build method of UserWidget or as part of buildListTile
