ERROR: NoSuchMethodError: The method 'toDouble' was called on null. Receiver: null Tried calling: toDouble()

Question

I am trying to make fromJson function which parse the json file. But while running test I am getting this error saying.

ERROR: NoSuchMethodError: The method 'toDouble' was called on null. Receiver: null Tried calling: toDouble()

I am not sure what is wrong with this.

My code

weather_model_app_test.dart

group('fromJson', () {
    test('should return a valid model', () async {
      final Map<String, dynamic> jsonMap =
          json.decode(fixture('weather_app.json'));
      //act
      final result = WeatherAppModel.fromJson(jsonMap);
      //assert
      expect(result, tWeatherAppModel);
    });
  });

weather_app_model.dart

factory WeatherAppModel.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
    return WeatherAppModel(
      weatherMain: json['weather'][0]['main'],
      weatherDescription: json['weather'][0]['description'],
      temp: (json['main']['temp'] as double).toDouble(),
      minTemp: (json['main']['temp_min'] as double).toDouble(),
      maxTemp: (json['main']['temp_main'] as double).toDouble(),
      country: json['sys']['country'],
    );
  }

Answer 1

Shouldn't maxTemp: (json['main']['temp_main'] as double).toDouble(),

be [temp_max] instead of [temp_main] in your weather_app_model.dart file?
