In my application I used Hive .After release application , Some user faced with gray screen after a few days working with my application. I finally catch the error :

HiveError: This should not happen. Please open an issue on GitHub.

In the main method I initialized hive :

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  try {
    await di.init();
    await DBModule.initDb();
  } on Exception catch (e) {
    await _write("test.text", e.toString());
  }

This is my DBModule:

class DBModule {
  static bool isLoginLess = false;

  DBModule() {
    initDb();
  }

  static initDb() async {
    await Hive.initFlutter();
    if (!Hive.isAdapterRegistered(0))
      Hive.registerAdapter<ContactModel>(ContactModelAdapter());
    if (!Hive.isAdapterRegistered(1))
      Hive.registerAdapter<ContactDetailModel>(ContactDetailModelAdapter());
    if (!Hive.isAdapterRegistered(2))
      Hive.registerAdapter<CardBeans>(CardBeansAdapter());
    if (!Hive.isAdapterRegistered(3))
      Hive.registerAdapter<GetUserSourceCardResponse>(
          GetUserSourceCardResponseAdapter());
    if (!Hive.isAdapterRegistered(4))
      Hive.registerAdapter<GetPushNotificationContentListResponse>(
          MessageModelAdapter());
    if (!Hive.isAdapterRegistered(5))
      Hive.registerAdapter<CardOtpModel>(CardOtpModelAdapter());
    if (!Hive.isAdapterRegistered(10))
      Hive.registerAdapter<TransactionReceiptModel>(
          TransactionReceiptModelAdapter());

    if (isLoginLess) {
      print('DBModule.initDb LoginLess');
      await _initBox<ContactModel>(contactsBoxNameLoginLess);
      await _initBox<ContactDetailModel>(contactDetailsBoxNameLoginLess);
      await _initBox<GetUserSourceCardResponse>(sourceCardsBoxNameLoginLess);
      await _initBox<TransactionReceiptModel>(transactionsBoxNameLoginLess);
      await _initBox<CardBeans>(pCardsBoxNameLoginLess);
    } else {
      print('DBModule.initDb LoginFull');
      await _initBox<ContactModel>(contactsBoxName);
      await _initBox<ContactDetailModel>(contactDetailsBoxName);
      await _initBox<GetUserSourceCardResponse>(sourceCardsBoxName);
      await _initBox<TransactionReceiptModel>(transactionsBoxName);
      await _initBox<CardBeans>(pCardsBoxName);
    }
    await _initBox<GetPushNotificationContentListResponse>(pushMessageBoxName);
    await _initBox<CardOtpModel>(cardOtpBoxName);

  }

  static Future<void> _initBox<T>(String boxName) async {
    if (!Hive.isBoxOpen(boxName)) await Hive.openBox<T>(boxName);
  }
}

In login page I called again

  DBModule.isLoginLess = loginLess;
  await DBModule.initDb();

to add some box according some user condition .

The application is working but why after a few days , Application is started with gray page and this error?

I got this exact same error, I use hive when starting my app and when receiving a new notification.

Here is the error when starting the app:

And here is the error when starting from new notifications:

Any update on this? Seems like a very critical bug since it basically turns the DB unusable.

[tazik561]

I found out , If you dispose page when hive storing data into box , The box is corrupted and this cause I got white screen.

[sezaru]

Hey @tazik561 thanks for the update, just to be sure I got it right, when you say dispose page, you mean closing a box? Or you mean removing some data from the DB or something else?

[tazik561]

Hey @tazik561 thanks for the update, just to be sure I got it right, when you say dispose page, you mean closing a box? Or you mean removing some data from the DB or something else?

Look, I save into db in initstate. Imagine I have 2 page A and B . In B initstate method I save data in hive.When I transmit from A to B, immediately I press back button to return into page A. Means I don't let to hive to persist data completely and I think data is corrupted.

[sezaru]

I'm trying to reproduce this in a consistent way but without success..

I will upload here the .hive file from my broken DB to see if this can help the devs find out the issue:
notification_queue.zip

I love this library, but for now, I will try to find an alternative, I cannot afford to have randomly a broken DB and lose all the data in it.

[EternalYouth29]

I'm facing this error along with couple of other issues when integrating FCM with Hive.

I tried to save message.data into Hive in _firebaseMessagingBackgroundHandler(), when the app is in the background, the code run successfully but failed to retrieve the latest data with the same key once I back into the app. The latest data only appears after I restart the app.

And after played around with the notification this error occurred and Hive stop working, I have to re-install the app.

@sezaru , have you found any alternative db like Hive to use? Any recommendation ?

[sezaru]

@EternalYouth29 Indeed I have, I'm using https://pub.dev/packages/objectbox as an alternative, didn't have any problem with it so far.

[EternalYouth29]

@sezaru thanks a lot for the info.

[tazik561]

does it support web ?

Closed with #914.

Please upgrade to hive v2.0.6.
