added in: 1.2.0
warning
Pro+

Warns when a pubspec file has the dependency_overrides section.

Using a dependency override involves some risk. For example, using an override to specify a version outside the range that the package claims to support, or using an override to specify a local copy of a package that has unexpected behaviors, may break your application.

Example​

❌ Bad:

pubspec.yaml
name: some_package
description: ...
version: 1.0.0

dependency_overrides: # LINT: Avoid overriding dependencies.

✅ Good:

pubspec.yaml
name: some_package
description: ...
version: 1.0.0
