Fixing `Error: Method not found: 'FallThroughError'. load_bundle_task_state.dart:17 throw FallThroughError();, Target kernel_snapshot failed: Exception`

This error came from ~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/cloud_firestore_platform_interface-5.9.1/lib/src/platform_interface/utils/load_bundle_task_state.dart. I tried a flutter clean. Then recompiled but it still threw the error. I have run flutter pub upgrade --major-versions, then flutter pub outdated to make

GPT-3 can really code

After struggling for hours to write a Firebase Function that would proxy GET requests to another server, and all the noise that GPT has been generating, I tried to make it come up with the same code. Results Amazingly, it was able to come up with nice initial versions. But

Enabling CORS in Firebase Functions

After struggling really hard to make a simple proxy in Firebase Functions (see my post), I realized I also needed to enable CORS.

Using fetch in Firebase Functions in TypeScript

Passing a threshold for screenshot tests in Flutter

Since this was much harder than expected, I figured I should document it for future reference, and also in order to refine the solution as I get used to it. The regular way to screenshot tests is to write: await expectLater(find.byType(MaterialApp), matchesGoldenFile('goldens/render_$description.png')); However

Testing a DropdownButton

It is quite difficult to write UI tests for a DropdownButton. Thanks to this StackOverflow post, I was able to extract a minimal test.

Track screen names in Flutter with Firebase Analytics

My starting point was this doc: https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/screenviews. It sounds promising because they say they will track page views automatically. And indeed it did. I didn't even have to call FirebaseAnalytics.instance. However, on the Google Analytics dashboard, I don't get any meaningful screen name:

Iterating two lists at the same time in Dart

It'd be nice to be able to run this kind of loop iterable.map((e) => ...) on two iterables at the same time. I really like the iterable.map syntax because most times, I only care about the actual element values, not the indices. What if I have two iterables of

Fixing `DVTPortalServiceErrorDomain: Your session has expired` in Flutter for iOS

These days my iOS app updates for Flutter keep randomly failing with the following error: DVTPortal: Error: Error Domain=DVTPortalServiceErrorDomain Code=1100 "Your session has expired.

Converting a List<int> to a String in Dart

I first tried using this: String.fromCharCodes But it mangled the UTF-8 encoding, even though the doc mentions something about UTF-16. For example, it mangled: 亜 Into: äº It turns out I should have used this instead: import 'dart:convert'; utf8.decode(list);
