Http: NoSuchMethodError: The method 'openUrl' was called on null.

[ottomated]

Expected

http.Client() should make a request

Behavior

When making a request a minute or two after a client is opened, it errors with the following stacktrace:

My code is:

client.get("https://google.com").then((response) {
  print(response.body);
});

Environment

$ flutter --version Flutter 0.5.1 • channel beta • https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git Framework • revision c7ea3ca377 (3 months ago) • 2018-05-29 21:07:33 +0200 Engine • revision 1ed25ca7b7 Tools • Dart 2.0.0-dev.58.0.flutter-f981f09760

I can't replicate the issue with this minimal example:

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

main() {
  var client = new http.Client();
  client.get("https://google.com")
      .then((response) {
        print(response.body);
      });
}

However, I see you're working with Flutter, and one that seems a little old.
Have you tried updating the various packages to the latest version and checked if the issue persists?
With the recent launch of Dart 2.0 quite a lot of things have changed during the transition, so it's possible you've hit some bad combination of versions.

@rakeshlanjewarwork can you please provide more information.
As mentioned above there is no way to reproduce. Without reproduction there is no way to fix.

Having the same issue when i make http GET request call, how do you resolve it @ottomated ? thanks

[natebosch]

Are you calling .close() on the Client instance? That makes the client unusable for further requests...

[samsoft00]

Change the http library to dio, simple but powerful.
https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/dio/versions/2.1.0

I had the same issue, a full restart of the debugged app solved it.

Edit : it turns out it was my code, I disposed it and tried to use it again (quite difficult to find out)
