Web - TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toggle')

[alexagat]

Calling Wakelock.enable() within the main function throws a TypeError when running against web.

void main() {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  Wakelock.enable();
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

This was replicated in a new project with only the addition of the Wakelock package.

App Code That Replicates Issue

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:wakelock/wakelock.dart';

void main() {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  Wakelock.enable();
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(),
      home: const HomeScreen(),
    );
  }
}

class HomeScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  const HomeScreen({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const Scaffold(body: Center(child: Text('Home')));
  }
}

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter

  wakelock: 0.6.1+2

It seems to be a timing issue with the app and JS libraries being available , since a call to enable() after a 500ms+ delay does not cause the error.

void main() {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 1), () {
    Wakelock.enable();
  });

  runApp(const MyApp());
}

I'm also seeing this, thanks for the workaround @alexagat .

[kelvie]

I'm guessing it's related to #171

the same here, @alexagat thanks for the workaround!

I will soon discontinue this repository. Please use wakelock_plus: ^1.1.6 instead.
