Error adding key to `const Text`. Regression in flutter.gradle?-CodePudding

I'm getting an inconsistency on Android Studio Chipmunk (2021.2.1 Patch 1) and the Flutter compiler (3.0.5). The issue is the compiler fails with an error when I try to add a const Key to a const Text.

To repro, I created a new flutter project flutter create test and then added the key like this:

        const Text(
          key: Key('someKeyName'),    // <- I added this key
          'You have pushed the button this many times:',
        ),

The error generated is:

Launching lib/main.dart on sdk gphone64 arm64 in debug mode...
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...
lib/main.dart:50:19: Error: Constant evaluation error:
        const Text(

          key: Key('someKeyName'),    // <- Added this key
               ^

I believe my change should work because the Key is also const. When I remove the const from const Text the compiler is happy but intellisense is not:

Is this a regression or am I missing something?

EDIT

@pma07pg's answer of putting the positional param first fixed the compile the error but as shown below, the second Text widget compiles fine and the positional param isn't first? So, it seems like positional params have to go first for const declarations? (As described here positional arguments don't have to go first anymore. This is a recent Dart change.)

const Text(
  key: Key('someKeyName'),    // <- Generates the error above
  'You have pushed the button this many times:',
),
Text(
  key: const Key('anotherKeyName'),    // <- This key works fine
  '$_counter',
  style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4,
),

CodePudding user response：

You need to reorder the arguments. Non-named arguments go first:

    const Text(
      'You have pushed the button this many times:',
      key: Key('someKeyName'),
    );

Seems like the compile error isn't correct.
