The Flutter DevTools break my app in debug builds

[rekire]

Describe the bug
I have an app with a complex initialization which takes around 5 seconds. I am registration a couple of singeltons in getIt. Since the Android Studio plugin pulls the data too early everything breaks for me.

To Reproduce

MultiProvider(
  providers: [
    ChangeNotifierProvider<Example>(
      // normally this method gets invoked after App() is created
      create: (_) => getIt<Example>(), // this crashes and causes also a bug in flutter #166572
    ),
  ],
  child: FutureBuilder(
    future: longRunningInitFuture(),
    builder: (context, snapshot) {
      if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done && snapshot.data == true) {
        return const App();
      } else {
        return const SplashScreen();
      }
    },
  ),
)

When I try to consume the Example class like this:

Consumer<Example>(
  builder: (context, example, _) {
    // never called
  }
)

Then I get strange exceptions within the widget tree.

Expected behavior
I do not expect that the Flutter DevTools Extension collects the data without any interaction from me.

StackTrace
Here is the StackTrace I got in my App:

#0      throwIfNot (package:get_it/get_it_impl.dart:14:19)
#1      _GetItImplementation._findFactoryByNameAndType (package:get_it/get_it_impl.dart:578:5)
#2      _GetItImplementation.get (package:get_it/get_it_impl.dart:602:29)
#3      _GetItImplementation.call (package:get_it/get_it_impl.dart:675:12)
#4      AppProviders.build.<anonymous closure> (package:censored/src/app_providers.dart:85:33)

#6      ProviderNode.value (package:provider/src/devtool.dart:71:48)
#7      Eval ()

This causes also a bug in Flutter see: flutter/flutter#166572

I'm not sure what I can do here. I don't control what the devtool does

Thank you for your quick reply. The dev tools liked to your this repo so I assumed that the Provider related part would be maintained by you too. Do you know the right repo? Might be flutter/flutter-intellij?

For now I disabled the extension in the dev tools and at least that small part is now fixed. Is there a way to retry calling that create() method?

@kenzieschmoll it seems that you made the extensions on Provider related to my issue. Might be you can help out?
