main_ is_ not_ function
The declaration named 'main' must be a function.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a library contains a declaration of the name main
that isn't the declaration of a top-level function.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because the name main
is being used to declare a top-level variable:
dart
var main = 3;
Common fixes
#Use a different name for the declaration:
dart
var mainIndex = 3;
