Issue
I am trying to learn how to implement a moor database in flutter and I got stuck getting this error:
I/flutter ( 5303): Moor: Sent SELECT * FROM tasks; with args []
E/flutter ( 5303): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(199)] Unhandled Exception: Unhandled error Null check operator used on a null value occurred in Instance of 'TodoBloc'.

I am getting this error after awaitng the future I’m getting from the moor database.
It doesn’t appear if I only get the Future object but only after awaiting the List<Task> object. It happens after awaiting the _database.getAllTasks() here in the todo_bloc.dart:
class TodoBloc extends Bloc<TodoEvent, TodoState> {
TodoBloc(this._database) : super(TodoInitial());
final Database _database;
@override
Stream<TodoState> mapEventToState(
TodoEvent event,
) async* {
if (event is LoadTasks) {
List<Task> tasks = await _database.getAllTasks();
yield TasksUpdated(tasks);
}
if (event is AddTask) {
_database.insertTask(event.task);
final tasks = state.tasks;
yield TasksUpdated([...tasks, event.task]);
}
if (event is RemoveTask) {
await _database.deleteTask(event.task);
}
}
}
database.dart:
@UseRowClass(Task)
class Tasks extends Table {
TextColumn get id => text()();
TextColumn get title => text()();
BoolColumn get isHighPriority => boolean()();
Set<Column> get primaryKey => {id};
}
@UseMoor(tables: [Tasks])
class Database extends _$Database {
Database()
: super(FlutterQueryExecutor.inDatabaseFolder(
path: 'db.sqlite', logStatements: true));
@override
int get schemaVersion => 1;
Future<List<Task>> getAllTasks() => select(tasks).get();
Future insertTask(Task task) => into(tasks).insert(task);
Future deleteTask(Task task) => delete(tasks).delete(task);
}
task.dart:
class Task implements Insertable<Task> {
Task({
required this.id,
required this.title,
this.isHighPriority = false,

Can anyone see where is the problem? I can provide more information if needed.
Solution
The problem
This was caused by a bug within moor_generator 4.3.0. It is now fixed as of version 4.3.1. It only occurred when custom classes were used for code generation.
The problem was in the database.g.dart file generated by the moor_generator.
Variable effectivePrefix had a value of null and because of that data['${effectivePrefix}id'] called .toString() method on null and returned a String with value of "null". So basically data['${effectivePrefix}id'] was trying to access the data['nullid'] which doesn’t exist and returns another null. Then StringType().mapFromDatabaseResponse(data['${effectivePrefix}title'])! tried to use a bang operator (!) on null which throws an error.
Original code that caused this problem is below:
@override
Set<GeneratedColumn> get $primaryKey => {id};
@override
Task map(Map<String, dynamic> data, {String? tablePrefix}) {
final effectivePrefix = tablePrefix != null ? '$tablePrefix.' : null;
return Task(
id: const StringType()
.mapFromDatabaseResponse(data['${effectivePrefix}id'])!,
title: const StringType()
.mapFromDatabaseResponse(data['${effectivePrefix}title'])!,
isHighPriority: const BoolType()
.mapFromDatabaseResponse(data['${effectivePrefix}is_high_priority'])!,
);
}
The solution
This problem can be fixed by removing ${effectivePrefix} from the key used in the data Map.
