Overriden providers are not passed to dialogs or modals

[tomasweigenast]

I have a problem when I want to override a provider and pass them to a bottom sheet.

Here the provider is overridden:

Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    final business = ref.watch(fetchBusinessProvider(businessCustomId, locationId: locationId));
    return switch (business) {
      AsyncError(:final error, :final stackTrace) => ErrorDisplay(error: error, stackTrace: stackTrace),
      AsyncData(:final value) => ProviderScope(
          // parent: ProviderScope.containerOf(context),
          overrides: [
            currentBusinessControllerProvider.overrideWith(() => CurrentBusinessController.override(value)),
          ],
          child: const _BusinessView(),
        ),
      _ => const LoadingIndicator(),
    };
  }

NOTE: I tried adding the parent property but it did not work

_BusinessView is just another widget so the override works.
I have a widget called _ItemsList, which renders inside _BusinessView, and in the build method of the _ItemsList widget I have:

print("Exists here: ${ProviderScope.containerOf(context).exists(currentBusinessControllerProvider)}");

Which prints:
Exists here: true

_ItemsList just contains a bunch of items, that, when clicked:

final parentContainer = ProviderScope.containerOf(context);
showModalBottomSheet(
                context: context,
                isScrollControlled: true,
                builder: (context) => ProviderScope(
                  // parent: parentContainer,
                  overrides: [
                       // this can safely be ignored, I don't think this causes any problem
                       currentBasketItemProvider.overrideWithValue(BasketItem.fromProduct(product)),
                  ],
                  child: const ProductSheet(),
                ),
              );

NOTE: Again, I tried passing the parent but no solution

And, inside ProductSheet:

@override
  Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    print("Exists in ProductSheet: ${ref.exists(currentBusinessControllerProvider)}");
    
    ...
}

Which prints: Exists in ProductSheet: false.

That's normal. Modals are in a different part of the widget tree. They don't have access to the same InehritedWidgets.

Try using parent (although it's flawed, as described in a different issue) or use OverlayPortal

I tried using parent as my notes say. I doesn't work @rrousselGit

[tomasweigenast]

Please re-open because using parent does not solve the issue

[rrousselGit]

You should specifically explain why parent doesn't work. Saying that it doesn't work isn't enough information.

Well, I don't know why parent doesn't work. Adding parent or removing it executes the same way. What do you need to know?
