Passing providers between widgets in a sequence doesn't work

@gummz Thanks for the report.

For example, instead of:

Did you try the suggestion as mentioned in the log ? although it seems to be incomplete in your report.
Also check if this is applicable or resembles your case or not : #147008

Hi, I believe I have solved it. The MultiProvider needed to be set within the context callback in the navigator push:

Navigator.push(
        context,
        MaterialPageRoute(
          builder: (context) => MultiProvider(
            providers: providers
                .map((provider) =>
                    ChangeNotifierProvider.value(value: provider))
                .toList(),
            child: targetWidget,
          ),
        ),
      );

However, this feels counter-intuitive to me. Why can't the MultiProvider be defined outside of the navigator push? Correct me if I'm wrong but the context isn't used if the MultiProvider is defined without one. It's only when it's rendered that a context is used, for example in a navigator push.

You may file a proposal issue to make changes as suggested so that it can be tracked and address separately.
Will close this issue for now as you have resolved it. If you disagree, write in comments and I'll reopen it.
