unnecessary_null_check_pattern
The null-check pattern will have no effect because the matched type isn't nullable.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a null-check pattern is used to match a value that isn't nullable.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because the value x
isn't nullable:
dart
void f(int x) {
if (x case var a? when a > 0) {}
}
Common fixes
#Remove the null-check pattern:
dart
void f(int x) {
if (x case var a when a > 0) {}
}
