Compile-time error in generated [for View] DataClass

[MichaelDark]

Data Class generated from a View using dart run drift_dev schema generate starts with $, therefore creating a compile-time error.

Simplest fix would be to wrap className with ${...}:

-   ..write("return (StringBuffer('$className(')");
+   ..write("return (StringBuffer('\${$className}(')");

// Assuming `class $ClassName extends DataClass implements Insertable<$ClassName>`
-   return (StringBuffer('$ClassName(') // ERROR: Undefined name 'ClassName'.
+   return (StringBuffer('${$ClassName}(')

Repro:

• create Dart-defined View
• dump schema
• generate schema

Reference:

drift/drift_dev/lib/src/writer/utils/override_toString.dart

Line 24 in 01bab07

..write("return (StringBuffer('$className(')");

@simolus3 View entityInfoName is prefixed with $, therefore this DataClass has $ prefix only in the schema dump.

Reference:

drift/drift_dev/lib/src/analysis/resolver/dart/view.dart

Line 35 in 01bab07

entityInfoName: '\$${discovered.dartElement.name}View',

Good catch, thanks for the report!

@simolus3 Thank you very much for a quick fix!
Is the next release already planned for a specific date/week, or it is still a "work in progress"?

I've just released drift_dev version 2.25.0 which contains this fix.
