Someone (Discord conversation starts here) ran across this error from Dartdoc:
dartdoc:stdout: Generating docs for library services from package:flutter/services.dart...
dartdoc:stderr: error: unresolved doc reference [onSelectionChanged]
dartdoc:stderr: from services.TextSelectionDelegate.cutSelection: (file:///b/s/w/ir/x/w/flutter%20sdk/packages/flutter/lib/src/services/text_input.dart:874:8)
dartdoc:stderr: error: unresolved doc reference [onSelectionChanged]
dartdoc:stderr: from services.TextSelectionDelegate.pasteText: (file:///b/s/w/ir/x/w/flutter%20sdk/packages/flutter/lib/src/services/text_input.dart:904:16)

dartdoc:stderr: from services.TextSelectionDelegate.selectAll: (file:///b/s/w/ir/x/w/flutter%20sdk/packages/flutter/lib/src/services/text_input.dart:934:8)

dartdoc:stderr: from services.TextSelectionDelegate.copySelection: (file:///b/s/w/ir/x/w/flutter%20sdk/packages/flutter/lib/src/services/text_input.dart:956:8)
(from this build log, from this PR in this fork)
The error is on a line like the line below, that references a macro in a library that would be a layer violation if it referenced it in code, since the flutter.rendering.RenderEditable.cause
macro is defined in editable.dart
in the widgets library, and it is what contains the reference to the missing onSelectionChanged
symbol, which is also in the widgets library (in the same file as the macro). Dartdoc is expanding the macro, but then not finding the symbol. I imagine that Dartdoc knows nothing about Flutter's library layers, but I would have thought it could find the symbol.
/// Cut current selection to [Clipboard].
///
/// If and only if [cause] is [SelectionChangedCause.toolbar], the toolbar
/// will be hidden and the current selection will be scrolled into view.
///
/// {@macro flutter.rendering.RenderEditable.cause}
void cutSelection(SelectionChangedCause cause) {
