Patch release fixing false positives in two lint rules, adding a project-level allowlist for avoid_ignoring_return_values, and resolving unwanted reload behavior in the Config and Findings Dashboards when editing text fields. log
Added
avoid_ignoring_return_values now supports a project-level allowlist via analysis_options_custom.yaml — add method names under avoid_ignoring_return_values: safe_to_ignore: to exempt project-specific methods whose return values are safely ignored. No action required unless you have project-specific methods you want to allowlist.
Fixed
google_sign_in_auth_token_from_authenticate no longer flags .accessToken reads on already-migrated GoogleSignInClientAuthorization results or unrelated model classes with a same-named field. No action required.
avoid_public_members_in_states no longer flags WidgetsBindingObserver/RouteAware/AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin callback methods (e.g. didChangeAppLifecycleState, didPushNext, wantKeepAlive) on a State class that carries the interface via with or implements — their public spelling is mandated by the framework, so the rule's own suggested private-rename fix would have silently broken dispatch. No action required.
prefer_late_final no longer flags a late field whose assigning method is passed elsewhere as a bare tear-off (e.g. setState(_initFutures)) — the tear-off's runtime call count can't be bounded from the declaration site, so the field may genuinely be reassigned even though only one direct call site is visible in the AST. No action required.
avoid_ignoring_return_values no longer flags a project-local extension method whose name follows a mutate-verb convention (add*, append*, insert*, remove*, update*, set*) and returns bool — the same structural shape as allowlisted stdlib mutators like List.add, where the bool is a "did it happen" convenience the caller is not required to consult. No action required.
require_ios_accessibility_large_text no longer flags TextStyle(fontSize:) when the value comes from a non-const getter, method call, or property access — only bare numeric literals and const identifiers are flagged. Previously the rule pattern-matched source text for textScaleFactor/textScaler/MediaQuery substrings and missed any design-system token that applies Dynamic Type scaling through a helper. No action required.
Fixed (Extension)
- The Config Dashboard and Findings Dashboard no longer constantly reload while you type into a search box or text field — a background refresh (triggered by the analyzer's live diagnostics, config-file saves, or workspace tree updates) was rebuilding the whole panel on every tick regardless of whether you were mid-edit, which also made the Config Dashboard's "Matching rules" → "in
<package>" links appear dead since the panel they lived in kept getting torn down. Both dashboards now wait until you leave the field before redrawing. - The Config Dashboard's collapsible sections (packs, disabled rules, shed rules, style & opinions) now remember whether you left them open or closed, the same way the Findings Dashboard's sections already did.
