MDC-101 Flutter: Material Components Basics >>> 5. Add buttons

[UchqunovS]

In the codelab it is said 'After the text fields, add the OverflowBar to the ListView's children:' but the compiler is angry with this OverflowBar. maybe because of the latest updates

Can you share your version? I'm not having issues with flutter @ HEAD

I have what I think is the same problem. Just updated Flutter so convenient point to report. The issue appears to be the empty fields in the buttons. Copy of the class pasted at the end.

The current iteration also wants 'const' defined in different locations from colab text.

Hope to see this resolved.

Solved!
I'm new to Flutter and still having some difficulties. I am using VSCode and it often throws up warnings saying you need a 'const' which then causes problems later. It often suggests a 'const' before a widget while you are building the widget and if you follow this suggestion you end up locked with an error that is then not very easily understood from the hints given by the compiler errors.
Hint: for those looking for the problem here remove the 'const' from in front of the Widgets that are throwing the errors!
It might be helpful if these were suppressed until the all code compiles cleanly.
