unnecessary_overrides

Don’t override a method to do a super method invocation with the same parameters.

This rule is available as of Dart 2.0.0.

This rule has a quick fix available.

Details

DON’T override a method to do a super method invocation with same parameters.

BAD:

class A extends B {
  @override
  void foo() {
    super.foo();
  }
}

GOOD:

class A extends B {
  @override
  void foo() {
    doSomethingElse();
  }
}

It’s valid to override a member in the following cases:

if a type (return type or a parameter type) is not the exactly the same as the super member,
if the covariant keyword is added to one of the parameters,
if documentation comments are present on the member,
if the member has annotations other than @override,
if the member is not annotated with @protected, and the super member is.

noSuchMethod is a special method and is not checked by this rule.
