empty_statements

Avoid empty statements.

AVOID empty statements.

Empty statements almost always indicate a bug.

For example,

BAD:

if (complicated.expression.foo());  bar(); 

Formatted with dart format the bug becomes obvious:

if (complicated.expression.foo()) ; bar(); 

Better to avoid the empty statement altogether.

GOOD:

if (complicated.expression.foo())  bar(); 

To enable the empty_statements rule, add empty_statements under linter > rules in your analysis_options.yaml file:

linter:  rules:  - empty_statements 

If you're instead using the YAML map syntax to configure linter rules, add empty_statements: true under linter > rules:

linter:  rules:  empty_statements: true
