Debug Flutter apps from code
This guide describes which debugging features you can enable in your code. For a full list of debugging and profiling tools, check out the Debugging page.
Add logging to your application
#The following list contains a few statements that you can use to log the behavior of your application. You can view your logs in DevTools' Logging view or in your system console.
print(): Prints astdout(standard output) message. Part of thedart:iolibrary.stderr.method_to_invoke(): Prints astderr(standard error) message. Replacemethod_to_invoke()with a method supported by thestderrproperty, such aswriteln()orwrite(). Often used in atry...catchblock. Part of thedart:iolibrary.dartstderr.writeln('print me');log(): Includes greater granularity and more information in the logging output. Part of thedart:developerlibrary.debugPrint(): If too much output results in discarded log lines, use this to keep those lines. Will print messages in release mode unless part of a debug mode check or an assert. Part of thefoundationslibrary.
Example 1
#import 'dart:developer' as developer;
void main() {
developer.log('log me', name: 'my.app.category');
developer.log('log me 1', name: 'my.other.category');
developer.log('log me 2', name: 'my.other.category');
}You can also pass app data to the log call. The convention for this is to use the error: named parameter on the log() call, JSON encode the object you want to send, and pass the encoded string to the error parameter.
Example 2
#import 'dart:convert';
import 'dart:developer' as developer;
void main() {
var myCustomObject = MyCustomObject();
developer.log(
'log me',
name: 'my.app.category',
error: jsonEncode(myCustomObject),
);
}DevTool's logging view interprets the JSON encoded error parameter as a data object. DevTool renders in the details view for that log entry.
Set breakpoints
#You can set breakpoints in DevTools' Debugger or in the built-in debugger of your IDE.
To set programmatic breakpoints:
Import the
dart:developerpackage into the relevant file.Insert programmatic breakpoints using the
debugger()statement. This statement takes an optionalwhenargument. This boolean argument sets a break when the given condition resolves to true.Example 3 illustrates this.
Example 3
#import 'dart:developer';
void someFunction(double offset) {
debugger(when: offset > 30);
// ...
}Debug app layers using flags
#Each layer of the Flutter framework provides a function to dump its current state or events to the console using the debugPrint property.
Print the widget tree
#To dump the state of the Widgets library, call the debugDumpApp() function.
- Open your source file.
- Import
package:flutter/rendering.dart. - Call the
debugDumpApp()function from within therunApp()function. You need your app in debug mode. You cannot call this function inside abuild()method when the app is building. - If you haven't started your app, debug it using your IDE.
- If you have started your app, save your source file. Hot reload re-renders your app.
Example 4: Call debugDumpApp()
#import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const MaterialApp(home: AppHome()));
}
class AppHome extends StatelessWidget {
const AppHome({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Material(
child: Center(
child: TextButton(
onPressed: () {
debugDumpApp();
},
child: const Text('Dump Widget Tree'),
),
),
);
}
}This function recursively calls the toStringDeep() method starting with the root of the widget tree. It returns a "flattened" tree.
Example 4 produces the following widget tree. It includes:
All the widgets projected through their various build functions.
Many widgets that don't appear in your app's source. The framework's widgets' build functions insert them during the build.
The following tree, for example, shows
_InkFeatures. That class implements part of theMaterialwidget. It doesn't appear anywhere in the code in Example 4.

flutter:When the button changes from being pressed to being released, this invokes the debugDumpApp() function. It also coincides with the TextButton object calling setState() and thus marking itself dirty. This explains why a Flutter marks a specific object as "dirty". When you review the widget tree, look for a line that resembles the following:
└TextButton(dirty, dependencies: [MediaQuery, _InheritedTheme, _LocalizationsScope-[GlobalKey#5880d]], state: _ButtonStyleState#ab76e)If you write your own widgets, override the debugFillProperties() method to add information. Add DiagnosticsProperty objects to the method's argument and call the superclass method. The toString method uses this function to fill in the widget's description.
Print the render tree
#When debugging a layout issue, the Widgets layer's tree might lack detail. The next level of debugging might require a render tree. To dump the render tree:
- Open your source file.
- Call the
debugDumpRenderTree()function. You can call this any time except during a layout or paint phase. Consider calling it from a frame callback or an event handler. - If you haven't started your app, debug it using your IDE.
- If you have started your app, save your source file. Hot reload re-renders your app.
Example 5: Call debugDumpRenderTree()
#import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const MaterialApp(home: AppHome()));
}
class AppHome extends StatelessWidget {
const AppHome({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Material(
child: Center(
child: TextButton(
onPressed: () {
debugDumpRenderTree();
},
child: const Text('Dump Render Tree'),
),
),
);
}
}When debugging layout issues, look at the size and constraints fields. The constraints flow down the tree and the sizes flow back up.Expand to view the render tree for Example 5

In the render tree for Example 5:
The
RenderView, or window size, limits all render objects up to and includingRenderPositionedBox#dc1dfrender object to the size of the screen. This example sets the size toSize(800.0, 600.0)The
constraintsproperty of each render object limits the size of each child. This property takes theBoxConstraintsrender object as a value. Starting with theRenderSemanticsAnnotations#fe6b5, the constraint equalsBoxConstraints(w=800.0, h=600.0).The
Centerwidget created theRenderPositionedBox#dc1dfrender object under theRenderSemanticsAnnotations#8187bsubtree.Each child under this render object has
BoxConstraintswith both minimum and maximum values. For example,RenderSemanticsAnnotations#a0a4busesBoxConstraints(0.0<=w<=800.0, 0.0<=h<=600.0).All children of the
RenderPhysicalShape#8e171render object useBoxConstraints(BoxConstraints(56.0<=w<=800.0, 28.0<=h<=600.0)).The child
RenderPadding#8455fsets apaddingvalue ofEdgeInsets(8.0, 0.0, 8.0, 0.0). This sets a left and right padding of 8 to all subsequent children of this render object. They now have new constraints:BoxConstraints(40.0<=w<=784.0, 28.0<=h<=600.0).
This object, which the creator field tells us is probably part of the TextButton's definition, sets a minimum width of 88 pixels on its contents and a specific height of 36.0. This is the TextButton class implementing the Material Design guidelines regarding button dimensions.
RenderPositionedBox#80b8d render object loosens the constraints again to center the text within the button. The RenderParagraph#59bc2 render object picks its size based on its contents. If you follow the sizes back up the tree, you see how the size of the text influences the width of all the boxes that form the button. All parents take their child's dimensions to size themselves.
Another way to notice this is by looking at the relayoutBoundary attribute of in the descriptions of each box. This tells you how many ancestors depend on this element's size.
For example, the innermost RenderPositionedBox line has a relayoutBoundary=up13. This means that when Flutter marks the RenderConstrainedBox as dirty, it also marks box's 13 ancestors as dirty because the new dimensions might affect those ancestors.
To add information to the dump if you write your own render objects, override debugFillProperties(). Add DiagnosticsProperty objects to the method's argument then call the superclass method.

Print the focus tree
#To debug a focus or shortcut issue, dump the focus tree using the debugDumpFocusTree() function.
The debugDumpFocusTree() method returns the focus tree for the app.
The focus tree labels nodes in the following way:
- The focused node is labeled
PRIMARY FOCUS. - Ancestors of the focus nodes are labeled
IN FOCUS PATH.
If your app uses the Focus widget, use the debugLabel property to simplify finding its focus node in the tree.
You can also use the debugFocusChanges boolean property to enable extensive logging when the focus changes.

Debug layout issues
#To debug a layout problem using a GUI, set debugPaintSizeEnabled to true. This flag can be found in the rendering library. You can enable it at any time and affects all painting while true. Consider adding it to the top of your void main() entry point.
Example 9
#See an example in the following code:
// Add import to the Flutter rendering library.
import 'package:flutter/rendering.dart';
void main() {
debugPaintSizeEnabled = true;
runApp(const MyApp());
}When enabled, Flutter displays the following changes to your app:
- Displays all boxes in a bright teal border.
- Displays all padding as a box with a faded blue fill and blue border around the child widget.
- Displays all alignment positioning with yellow arrows.
- Displays all spacers in gray, when they have no child.
The debugPaintBaselinesEnabled flag does something similar but for objects with baselines. The app displays the baseline for alphabetic characters in bright green and the baseline for ideographic characters in orange. Alphabetic characters "sit" on the alphabetic baseline, but that baseline "cuts" through the bottom of CJK characters. Flutter positions the ideographic baseline at the very bottom of the text line.
The debugPaintPointersEnabled flag turns on a special mode that highlights any objects that you tap in teal. This can help you determine if an object fails to hit test. This might happen if the object falls outside the bounds of its parent and thus not considered for hit testing in the first place.
If you're trying to debug compositor layers, consider using the following flags.
Use the
debugPaintLayerBordersEnabledflag to find the boundaries of each layer. This flag results in outlining each layer's bounds in orange.Use the
debugRepaintRainbowEnabledflag to display a repainted layer. Whenever a layer repaints, it overlays with a rotating set of colors.
Any function or method in the Flutter framework that starts with debug... only works in debug mode.
Debug animation issues
#Set the timeDilation variable (from the scheduler library) to a number greater than 1.0, for instance, 50.0. It's best to only set this once on app startup. If you change it on the fly, especially if you reduce it while animations are running, it's possible that the framework will observe time going backwards, which will probably result in asserts and generally interfere with your efforts.
Debug performance issues
#Flutter provides a wide variety of top-level properties and functions to help you debug your app at various points along the development cycle. To use these features, compile your app in debug mode.
The following list highlights some of flags and one function from the rendering library for debugging performance issues.
debugDumpRenderTree()To dump the rendering tree to the console, call this function when not in a layout or repaint phase.
To set these flags either:
- edit the framework code
- import the module, set the value in your
main()function, then hot restart.
debugPaintLayerBordersEnabled- To display the boundaries of each layer, set this property to
true. When set, each layer paints a box around its boundary. debugRepaintRainbowEnabled- To display a colored border around each widget, set this property to
true. These borders change color as the app user scrolls in the app. To set this flag, adddebugRepaintRainbowEnabled = true;as a top-level property in your app. If any static widgets rotate through colors after setting this flag, consider adding repaint boundaries to those areas. debugPrintMarkNeedsLayoutStacks- To determine if your app creates more layouts than expected, set this property to
true. This layout issue could happen on the timeline, on a profile, or from aprintstatement inside a layout method. When set, the framework outputs stack traces to the console to explain why your app marks each render object to be laid out. debugPrintMarkNeedsPaintStacks- To determine if your app paints more layouts than expected, set this property to
true.
You can generate stack traces on demand as well. To print your own stack traces, add the debugPrintStack() function to your app.
Trace Dart code performance
#To perform custom performance traces and measure wall or CPU time of arbitrary segments of Dart code, use dart:developer Timeline utilities.
Open your source code.
Wrap the code you want to measure in
Timelinemethods.dartimport 'dart:developer'; void main() { Timeline.startSync('interesting function'); // iWonderHowLongThisTakes(); Timeline.finishSync(); }While connected to your app, open DevTools' Timeline events tab.
Select the Dart recording option in the Performance settings.
Perform the function you want to measure.
To ensure that the runtime performance characteristics closely match that of your final product, run your app in profile mode.
Add performance overlay
#To enable the PerformanceOverlay widget in your code, set the showPerformanceOverlay property to true on the MaterialApp, CupertinoApp, or WidgetsApp constructor:
Example 10
#import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
showPerformanceOverlay: true,
title: 'My Awesome App',
theme: ThemeData(
colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(seedColor: Colors.deepPurple),
),
home: const MyHomePage(title: 'My Awesome App'),
);
}
}(If you're not using MaterialApp, CupertinoApp, or WidgetsApp, you can get the same effect by wrapping your application in a stack and putting a widget on your stack that was created by calling PerformanceOverlay.allEnabled().)
To learn how to interpret the graphs in the overlay, check out The performance overlay in Profiling Flutter performance.
Add widget alignment grid
#To add an overlay to a Material Design baseline grid on your app to help verify alignments, add the debugShowMaterialGrid argument in the MaterialApp constructor.
To add an overlay to non-Material applications, add a GridPaper widget.
