I have a FutureBuilder which the future is this :
Future<Tutor> future(Object? args) async {
print("running future ...${args}");
String title = "";
String content = "";
final SharedPreferences prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
if (args != null) {
debugPrint("args is not null ");
title = (args as Tutor).title;
content = args.content;
await prefs.setString("title", title);
await prefs.setString("content", content);
} else {
debugPrint("reading from cache..");
title = prefs.getString("title") ?? "";
content = prefs.getString("content") ?? "";
}
return Tutor(title, content);
}
return FutureBuilder(
future: future(args),
builder: ((context, snapshot) {
WebViewController controller = WebViewController();
debugPrint("Future is done ...");
// the rest
But what I get is :
running future ...null
(2) Future is done ...
I don't get any of this prints:
debugPrint("args is not null "); // if
debugPrint("reading from cache.."); // else
It seems neither "if" nor "else" are executed.
Although this problem was solved auttomatically after one day but I should mention for next googlers that I also encountered this in another project and I figured that FutureBuilder has a inner error handler so it doesn't throw exceptions if something goes wrong with your "future" method. If you want to see what is what, you should always use try{}catch{} inside the future method or check snapshot.hasError to see if everything is OK.
