This is having problems when you try to delete a character from any word that has an annotation. Im trying to solve it somehow

This is throwing an error around a null controller when I try and run it

you need to pass a controller param in - i suspect the docs were different when this was written.

@joselicht90 did you solve this?

Any idea how to test this? because it extends EditableText, the flutter test for enterText fails with no widget: apparantly it cannot find a TextInput or EditableText (because, by extending, it becomes that!).

For example:
final String dummyDesc = 'hellow world';
final Finder annoted = find.byType(AnnotatedEditableText);
await tester.enterText(annoted, dummyDesc);

this will show the error
Bad state: No element

You simply have to correct the buildTextSpan part. The error was raised when you delete a character because the Range could raise an exception. Here is my version that may fix your problem:

  @override
  TextSpan buildTextSpan() {
    final String text = textEditingValue.text;
    int textLength = text.length;
    if (widget.annotations != null && textLength > 0) {
      var items = getRanges();
      var children = <TextSpan>[];
      for (var item in items) {
        if (item.range.end < textLength) {
          children.add(
            TextSpan(style: item.style, text: item.range.textInside(text)),
          );
        } else if (item.range.start <= textLength) {
          children.add(
            TextSpan(
                style: item.style,
                text: TextRange(start: item.range.start, end: text.length)
                    .textInside(text)),
          );
        }
      }
      return new TextSpan(style: widget.style, children: children);
    }

    return new TextSpan(style: widget.style, text: text);
  }
}

When i try to write in it it gives me :

════════ Exception caught by widgets library ═══════════════════════════════════
The following StateError was thrown building Scrollable(axisDirection: right, physics: null, restorationId: null, dirty, dependencies: [ScrollConfiguration, _InheritedTheme, _LocalizationsScope-[GlobalKey#71eea], _EffectiveTickerMode, UnmanagedRestorationScope, MediaQuery], state: ScrollableState#af8e0(position: ScrollPositionWithSingleContext#d5829(offset: 0.0, range: 0.0..0.0, viewport: 200.0, ScrollableState, ClampingScrollPhysics -> RangeMaintainingScrollPhysics, IdleScrollActivity#a96de, ScrollDirection.idle), effective physics: ClampingScrollPhysics -> RangeMaintainingScrollPhysics)):

i run on chrome and i am on beta channel

EDIT: oups my fault, you need to refresh the annotions list at all changes, even if the list is empty or you don't use any for the moment

It is not supporting multiline , btw I am working on it ..to resolve this issue
