Flutter Bloc Test : Null check operator used on a null value (null-safety)

Question

I am using flutter_bloc, bloc_test, and bloc_testing to implement testing. But even after I initialize Bloc in Setup the errors say Null check operator used on a null value.

import 'package:bloc_test/bloc_test.dart';
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';
import 'package:mockito/mockito.dart';
import 'package:orotask/logic/bloc/map_bloc/map_bloc.dart';
import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'package:orotask/logic/repository/addr_map_repository.dart';

class MockAddrRepository extends Mock implements MapAddrRepository {}

void main()async {

  late MapAddrRepository mapAddrRepository ;
  late MapBloc mapBloc;
  await Firebase.initializeApp();

  setUp(() {
     
    mapAddrRepository = MapAddrRepository();
    mapBloc = MapBloc();
  });

  tearDown(() {
    mapBloc.close();
  });

  blocTest<MapBloc, MapState>('Map Bloc Initial State Tests',
      build: () => mapBloc,
      expect: () => MapNotLoaded());
}

Error in flutter test --no-sound-null-safety (I have some dependencies which don't support null-safety)

Answer 1

the firbase app is not intalised as its future you need to wrap it in async

void main() async {
 await Firebase.initializeApp();}
