BlocProvider.of() called with a context that does not contain a Bloc of type OfflineBloc

Question

I'm trying to understand multiBloc with offline database from already created project. I have created demo project same as already created project. but getting exception and unable to understand why it is happening.

actually I'm fetching data from api with bloc pattern and trying to save these data in local database for offline use.

and data is being fetched & you can see my email id in console.But after fetching data i'm trying to hit GetOfflineQueueData() event but getting below bloc exception.

Note: I'm using multi BLOc.

class _MainHomePageState extends State<MainHomePage> {
  var resultDate ;
  LandingBloc _landingBloc;
  OfflineBloc _offlineBloc;
 // Completer<void> _refreshCompleter;

  @override
  void initState() { 
    resultDate = DateTime.now();
    _landingBloc = BlocProvider.of<LandingBloc>(context);
    // _offlineBloc = BlocProvider.of<OfflineBloc>(context);
    super.initState();
    if(AppConfig().isUserLoggedInFirstTime){
      _landingBloc.setDate(DateTime.now());
    }


  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    // print("userProfileEmail_______________________________________________________${widget.userProfile?.emailAddress}");
    return Scaffold(
     backgroundColor: Colors.white,
      appBar: AppBar(
        elevation: 1.0,
        backgroundColor: Colors.white,
        title: Padding(
          padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
          child: Image.asset('assets/images/logo.png', width: 200, height: 50),
        ),
        iconTheme: new IconThemeData(color: Colors.black),
        actions: <Widget>[
        IconButton(
            icon: Icon(Icons.search),
            onPressed: () {
              Navigator.of(context).push(MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context)=> SearchPage()));
            },
          ) 
        ],
        centerTitle: true,
      ),
      body: BlocBuilder(
        bloc: _landingBloc,
        builder: (BuildContext context, LandingState state) {

          if(state is UserProfileFetched){
            return buildBodyWidget();
          }
          return showSpinner();  
        }),


       drawer: buildDrawer(),

    );
  }



Widget buildDrawer(){ 
    Widget getDrawer;
    if (   AppConfig().isOnline!= null && AppConfig().userProfile != null ) {
      getDrawer = BlocBuilder(
        bloc: _landingBloc,
        builder: (BuildContext context, LandingState state){
          if(state is UserProfileFetched){
            print("object UserProfileFetched _if:$state ");
            print("state.userProfileeeeeeeeeeeeee Email:${state.userProfile.emailAddress}");
            BlocProvider<OfflineBloc>.value(
              value: BlocProvider.of<OfflineBloc>(context),
              child: DrawerWidget(state.userProfile),
            );  
          }
          print("object state else :$state ");
          return BlocProvider<OfflineBloc>.value(
            value: BlocProvider.of<OfflineBloc>(context)..dispatch(GetOfflineQueueData()),
            child: DrawerWidget(AppConfig().userProfile),
          ); 
        }
      );
      // getDrawer = DrawerWidget(AppConfig().userProfile);
    }
    else if (AppConfig().isOnline != null && AppConfig().userProfile != null) {
       getDrawer = BlocProvider<OfflineBloc>.value(
        value: BlocProvider.of<OfflineBloc>(context)..dispatch(GetOfflineQueueData()),
        child: DrawerWidget(AppConfig().userProfile),
      );
    } 
    else{
     getDrawer = null;
    }
    return getDrawer;  
  }

Offline bloc

lass OfflineBloc extends Bloc<OfflineEvent, OfflineState> {
  OfflineApi _offlineApi = OfflineApi();
  // OrdersApi _ordersApi = OrdersApi();

  int queueCount = 0;
  List<SyncQueueDBModel> queueData;

  @override
  OfflineState get initialState => InitialOfflineState();

  @override
  Stream<OfflineState> mapEventToState(OfflineEvent event,) async* {

   if (event is GetOfflineQueueData) {
      List<SyncQueueDBModel> queue = await _offlineApi.getQueue();
      queueData = queue;
      print("Sync Queue from offline bloc");
      print(queue);
      queueCount = queue.length;

      yield OfflineQueueDataFetched(count: queue.length);
    }

  }

The following assertion was thrown building BlocBuilder<LandingBloc, LandingState>(dirty, state: _BlocBuilderBaseState<LandingBloc, LandingState>#ca0e2):

        No ancestor could be found starting from the context that was passed to BlocProvider.of<OfflineBloc>().

        This can happen if:
        1. The context you used comes from a widget above the BlocProvider.
        2. You used MultiBlocProvider and didn't explicity provide the BlocProvider types.

        Good: BlocProvider<OfflineBloc>(builder: (context) => OfflineBloc())
        Bad: BlocProvider(builder: (context) => OfflineBloc()).

        The context used was: BlocBuilder<LandingBloc, LandingState>(dirty, state: _BlocBuilderBaseState<LandingBloc, LandingState>#ca0e2)

Answer 1

Step 1:

You should not call BlocProvider.of(context) inside initState method. Instead move your call to didChangeDependencies method.

This method is also called immediately after initState. It is safe to call BuildContext.dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType from this method.

Example:

@override
void didChangeDependencies() {

//fetch your bloc here.
//...


super.didChangeDependencies();
}

Step 2:

You should ensure your desired Bloc is available for the given context. If not, you should add BlocProvider to your current scaffold tree.

Answer 2

The culprit here is that you are using BlocProvider.of(context)inside buildDrawer() method which has no reference to the OfflineBloc. simply pass the OfflineBloc inside this method or just wrap the Scaffold with BlocProvider. Check your initState that you have commented this:

// _offlineBloc = BlocProvider.of<OfflineBloc>(context);

or if your want to create your Bloc in this page then use create to create new instance of the OfflineBloc.

 BlocProvider<OfflineBloc>(
          create: (context) => _offlineBloc,
   child:Scaffold(
    body:...........
    BlocBuilder(
    bloc: _landingBloc,
     builder: (BuildContext context, LandingState state) {

      if(state is UserProfileFetched){
        return buildBodyWidget();
      }
      return showSpinner();  
    }),


   drawer: buildDrawer(),

);
