warning

🛠

preset: recommended

Warns when a Future is returned from a try / catch block without an await.

Not awaiting a Future leads to an error not being catch by the catch block.

Example

❌ Bad:

Future<String> report(Iterable<String> records) async {
  try {
    return anotherAsyncMethod(); // LINT
  } catch(e) {
    print(e);
  }
}

✅ Good:

Future<String> another() async {
  try {
    return await anotherAsyncMethod();
  } catch(e) {
    print(e);
  }
}
