Hello and thank you for the library,
The function
createIconsFromArguments
exposed inmain.dart
returns a Future, so users expect that the task will be fully done when the Future completes, but it currently isn't the case.How to reproduce
I noticed this because I am using the plugin in a dart CLI application, as one of our build steps. I am calling
exit(0)
after the Future completes, which causes the plugin to not write images to disk.Cause
This bug is due to the fact that many Futures are currently not awaited, which is hard to spot because they are called from synchronous functions.
Fix
I have tried to spot all the Futures and to await them, but it could be that I forgot some.
I also added the unawaited_futures lint rule.
Tested
I have tested this change in our build process and it all works fine: images are written to disk when
createIconsFromArguments
completes.Caveat / Question
I wonder if this could affect the overall performance of the current implementation, since functions will be executed sequentially, while they are maybe executed concurrently in the current implementation?
