No constructor 'Text.' with matching arguments declared in class 'Text'

Question

I'm using flutter module in my existing iOS app. While making changes I often use hot reload to see the output. It was working fine until yesterday, but when I use hot reload now, its giving me the exception:

The following NoSuchMethodError was thrown building PurchaseOrders(dirty, dependencies: [_InheritedTheme, _LocalizationsScope-[GlobalKey#4a83e]], state: _PurchaseOrdersState#a115b):
No constructor 'Text.' with matching arguments declared in class 'Text'.
Receiver: Text
Tried calling: new Text.()
Found: new Text.(String, {Key key, TextStyle style, StrutStyle strutStyle, TextAlign textAlign, TextDirection textDirection, Locale locale, bool softWrap, TextOverflow overflow, double textScaleFactor, int maxLines, String semanticsLabel, TextWidthBasis textWidthBasis, TextHeightBehavior textHeightBehavior}) => Text

Widget creation tracking is currently disabled. Enabling it enables improved error messages. It can be enabled by passing `--track-widget-creation` to `flutter run` or `flutter test`.

I've tried: File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart. But didn't help me out. I have to stop and run every time I make any small change. What could be the issue ?

Solution

I also faced a similar error, but it resolved when I hot restart the app instead of hot reload.

The error says you are calling Text() constructor without parameter but you should be calling Text("text"). Are you sure you did not remove the parameter by mistake?

No. Its working fine with normal run, but the issue is with hot reload.

Are you running your app in flutter beta? Can you please provide your flutter doctor -v with latest stable, your flutter attach --verbose and a complete reproducible minimal code sample? It seems that this GitHub post is related to your issue.
