guardSync method Null safety

void guardSync()

Verifies that there are no guarded methods currently pending (see guard).

If a guarded method is currently pending, and this is not a call nested from inside that method's body (directly or indirectly), then this method will throw a detailed exception.

Implementation

static void guardSync() {
  if (_scopeStack.isEmpty) {
    // No scopes open, so we must be fine.
    return;
  }
  // Find the current TestAsyncUtils scope zone so we can see if it's the one we expect.
  final Zone? zone = _currentScopeZone;
  if (zone == _scopeStack.last.zone) {
    // We're still in the current scope zone. All good.
    return;
  }
  // If we get here, we know we've got a conflict on our hands.
  // We got an async barrier, but the current zone isn't the last scope that
  // we pushed on the stack.
  // Find which scope the conflict happened in, so that we know
  // which stack trace to report the conflict as starting from.
  //
  // For example, if we called an async method A, which ran its body in a
  // guarded block, and in its body it ran an async method B, which ran its
  // body in a guarded block, but we didn't await B, then in A's block we ran
  // an async method C, which ran its body in a guarded block, then we should
  // complain about the call to B then the call to C. BUT. If we called an async
  // method A, which ran its body in a guarded block, and in its body it ran
  // an async method B, which ran its body in a guarded block, but we didn't
  // await A, and then at the top level we called a method D, then we should
  // complain about the call to A then the call to D.
  //
  // In both examples, the scope stack would have two scopes. In the first
  // example, the current zone would be the zone of the _scopeStack[0] scope,
  // and we would want to show _scopeStack[1]'s creationStack. In the second
  // example, the current zone would not be in the _scopeStack, and we would
  // want to show _scopeStack[0]'s creationStack.
  int skipCount = 0;
  _AsyncScope candidateScope = _scopeStack.last;
  _AsyncScope scope;
  do {
    skipCount += 1;
    scope = candidateScope;
    if (skipCount >= _scopeStack.length) {
      if (zone == null) {
        break;
      }
      // Some people have reported reaching this point, but it's not clear
      // why. For now, just silently return.
      // TODO(ianh): If we ever get a test case that shows how we reach
      // this point, reduce it and report the error if there is one.
      return;
    }
