error method Null safety

  1. @override
Never error(
  1. String message,
  2. {Match? match,
  3. int? position,
  4. int? length}
)
override

Throws a FormatException with message as well as a detailed description of the location of the error in the string.

match is the match information for the span of the string with which the error is associated. This should be a match returned by this scanner's lastMatch property. By default, the error is associated with the last match.

If position and/or length are passed, they are used as the error span instead. If only length is passed, position defaults to the current position; if only position is passed, length defaults to 0.

It's an error to pass match at the same time as position or length.

Implementation

@override
Never error(String message, {Match? match, int? position, int? length}) {
  validateErrorArgs(string, match, position, length);

  if (match == null && position == null && length == null) match = lastMatch;
  position ??= match == null ? this.position : match.start;
  length ??= match == null ? 0 : match.end - match.start;

  final span = _sourceFile.span(position, position + length);
  throw StringScannerException(message, span, string);
