Description

I'm getting error reports from my production environment.
There seem to be two different but related reports

Image Image Image

Version (please complete the following information):

  • Flutter Version: 3.32.6
  • plugin: desktop_drop: 0.6.0

This is a flutter web application and the issues started happening after upgrading Flutter from 3.32.0 to 3.32.6 and Dart from 3.8.0 to 3.8.1.

I have not been able to replicate it locally so far.
I've tried on Firefox 140.0.4, Safari 18.5, Edge 138.0.3351.83 and Chrome 138.0.7204.101 on MacOS 15.5 (24F74) without luck.
Something tells me it's related to the initialization of the plugin and not to the drop functionality itself though.

Any ideas? Cheers.

Research direction

Start by testing the desktop_drop plugin in a Flutter web application across the reported Flutter 3.32.0–3.32.6 and Dart 3.8.0–3.8.1 versions. Inspect plugin initialization and drop handling for the null value behind the toString error. Done means the production error is reproduced or explained and no longer occurs under the affected versions.
