[pigeon] "decode" casts fail in sound null-safe mode. #76405
Description
Here's a Pigeon-generated class:
class PositionMessage {
int? textureId;
int? position;
Object encode() {
final Map<Object?, Object?> pigeonMap = <Object?, Object?>{};
pigeonMap['textureId'] = textureId;
pigeonMap['position'] = position;
return pigeonMap;
}
static PositionMessage decode(Object message) {
final Map<Object?, Object?> pigeonMap = message as Map<Object?, Object?>;
return PositionMessage()
..textureId = pigeonMap['textureId'] as int
..position = pigeonMap['position'] as int;
}
}
In sound null-safe mode, the decode method might have null values in textureId and position, so the cast as int fails:
type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'int' in type cast
package:video_player_platform_interface/messages.dart 121:44 PositionMessage.decode
package:video_player_platform_interface/messages.dart 339:30 VideoPlayerApi.position
Shouldn't the as casts match the type of the attribute they're casting to? if int? textureId, shouldn't the decode cast to: as int?
Steps to Reproduce
Attempt to run the video_player_platform_interface tests in null-safe mode (flutter channel master, for example):
- Clone this branch: https://github.com/ditman/plugins/tree/reversion-video_player_platform_interface-as-preview
cd YOUR_CLONE/packages/video_player/video_player_platform_interfaceflutter test
Expected results:
All tests pass.
Actual results:
Some tests fail with the error described in this issue.
