Flutter setState 3 positional argument(s) expected, but 1 found error

Question

on Button click, I trying to call setState but VScode generates a bug like below. Its Stateful widget and VScode suggested that setState(mounted, setState, fn);

 Row(
     mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
     children: [
                    IconButton(
                      icon: Icon(
                        Icons.rounded_corner,
                      ),
                      onPressed: () {
                        setState(() {
                          selectedStock--;
                        });
                      },
                    ),
                    Text(selectedStock.toString()),
                    IconButton(
                      icon: Icon(
                        Icons.rounded_corner,
                      ),
                      onPressed: () {
                        // setState(mounted, setState, fn);
                        setState(() {
                          selectedStock++;
                        });
                      },
                    ),
                  ],
                ),

I don't know, when I used to write setState then click enter setState((){}) appears. Now setState(mounted, setState, fn); i restarted but result is same — dokind, Jul 25 '21 at 04:00
it might be some sort of issue with either of the vs code extension — OMi Shah, Jul 25 '21 at 04:02

I had the same issue. It turned out that the problem was this import:

import 'package:html_editor_enhanced/utils/utils.dart';

It defines the following method:

void setState(
    bool mounted, void Function(Function()) setState, void Function() fn) {
  if (mounted) {
    setState.call(fn);
  }
}

which conflicts with the one defined in Flutter framework file.

In my case it turned out I didn't even need that import so I just deleted it. If you do need this import you can give it a prefix:

import 'package:html_editor_enhanced/utils/utils.dart' as utils;

This way you will call it's methods through the prefix and call Flutters setState() directly.

This worked for me: I deleted this import 'package:html_editor_enhanced/utils/utils.dart'; it worked after — blue492, Mar 01 '22 at 10:03
