could you post your Flutter unit test? The other details are not relevant for the issue. Do you have any error messages over your IDE? — Mariano Zorrilla

@MarianoZorrilla I have updated the question with the unit test. — Sagar Bahadur Tamang

The problem is that you're trying to use reflection (dart:mirror), which is not possible with Flutter because:

"Since reflection makes all code implicitly used by default, it interferes with tree shaking." Source

I believe it is related with the JSON serialization provided by the built_value_generator dart package.

It was working a couple of minutes ago. All the tests were passed, now its not working.

Let's see if we can find a solution. Something had to be changed since then. Did you add or update a package? Or maybe added another code not present in your question? The log you provided tell us that the reason is what I've said.

I haven't updated packages but I wrote some model and tests since last time it ran fine.

It seems I have imported a wrong library in one of my model class. Once I removed the library

import 'package:built_collection/built_collection.dart';

All the tests are passing.
