I'm encountering an issue in my Flutter project where the jsonEncode function is not being recognized, even though I have imported dart:convert. This problem suddenly appeared in both my current project and another one.
Steps Taken So Far:
Verified Import: Ensured that import 'dart:convert'; is present at the top of my Dart file.
Cleaned and Fetched Packages: Executed flutter clean followed by flutter pub get to clear any cached data and fetch the latest packages.
Checked for Conflicts: Reviewed recent commits to identify any package conflicts but found none.
Restarted System: Restarted my development machine to rule out any transient issues.
Cause of the Issue It turned out that I had accidentally deleted a section of code inside lib/convert/json.dart, which happened to contain the jsonEncode definition. (Lesson learned: stop coding when you're tired! 😅) Steps to Fix It Check if convert.dart or related core files were modified If you find any missing code, restore it manually or reset your changes. Repair the Flutter pub cache flutter pub cache repair Delete the Flutter cache manually Navigate to your Flutter installation folder and delete the cache: flutter doctor Restart your IDE and rebuild the project
