action blocks with parameter "Context" gives build error without showing error in flutterflow

[Axelhovde]

Can we access your project?

• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

When making an app state action block with the parameter "context" (string), the application does not complain, but it however fails when trying to build, because action blocks uses "buildContext context" as a parameter.

here is the parameter definitions of the action block I made that made the build fail:
Future<List?> goalGenerator(
BuildContext context, {
String? context,
})

Expected Behavior

Should be an error saying "context" is not a legal parameter name.

Steps to Reproduce

1. create app action block.
2. make a parameter called "context"
3. Build -> build will fail

Reproducible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

Hello!!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
context is a reserved keyword used internally by Flutter (BuildContext), which is why the build fails when an action block parameter uses the same name. The editor currently doesn’t prevent this, so the error only appears during the build process.

I’ll pass this along to the engineering team so we can block reserved words like this from being used as parameters.
In the meantime, please use a different parameter name to avoid the build error.

Thanks again for highlighting this!
