There isn’t a setter named 'selection' in class 'TextEditingController'-CodePudding

I'm try to keep the cursor on the right of the TextField input using the 'controller.selection' line with 'onChange' as shown below; but getting an error

onChanged: (text) {
_myController.text = text;
_myController.selection = TextSelection.fromPosition(TextPosition(offset: 
_myController.text.length));
},

the error:

There isn’t a setter named 'selection' in class 'TextEditingController'.
Try correcting the name to reference an existing setter, or declare the setter.

I have used this method before with no issues but for some reason getting this now.

CodePudding user response：

If you want to set both text and selection, you should set the value instead:

final selection = TextSelection.fromPosition(TextPosition(offset: text.length));

_myController.value = TextEditingValue(text, selection);

CodePudding user response：

It has bee solved by force upgrading the flutter sdk using 'flutter upgrade --force' - before that it was not upgrading for some reason.

Probably I modified some system file or library that I was not supposed to modify, but now everything seems to be fine back to normal.
