Invalid value: Not in inclusive range

[davidcz95]

Hello,

Is there anything we can do for this annoying problem when the encoder encodes string with backslashes etc and then dart can't read it correctly and I am still getting Invalid value: Not in inclusive range when decoding it

same as me, RangeError (index): Invalid value: Not in inclusive range 0..1155: 1156

Hi, I have found a solution for my use case so maybe it will help some1 too:

• if you have a backslash "\" in your string you need to use string.replaceAll(r'\', r'\\'); and this I knew but what I didnt know is that in my case I am sending encodedPolyline to my database through rest api and I was doing string.replaceAll(r'\', r'\\'); on the string that I got back from the database but the string in the database was already without the backslash so I has to use that method on the string that I was sending to db so instead of 'y{zvH{n{fBV^V\PTLR' i had 'y{zvH{n{fBV^V\\PTLR' and in the process of sending it to the db one backslash is removed and when I get it back it is all ready to decode.
• also the sign '^' is causing problems so also string.replaceAll('^', r'\^'); is needed.

I hope I explained it clear enough and I also hope that no other signs will cause trouble but I will wrap decoding method in try & catch just to be safe.
