[camera_avfoundation] stopVideoRecording may wait indefinitely in some cases #132016

Closed
flutter/packages
#7065

Description

@misos1

Is there an existing issue for this?

Steps to reproduce

Run test sample.

Expected results

It should continue to update text up to "99 delete".

Actual results

It stops with text "... stop" which means it is indefinitely waiting on stopVideoRecording. This is because stopVideoRecordingWithResult will not send any result if _videoWriter.status is AVAssetWriterStatusUnknown:

Code sample

Code sample
import "dart:io";
import "package:flutter/material.dart";
import "package:camera/camera.dart";

void main() {
	runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
	const MyApp({super.key});
	@override Widget build(BuildContext context) => const MaterialApp(home: MyHomePage());
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
	const MyHomePage({super.key});
	@override State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
	bool loading = true;
	String where = "";
	late CameraController camera_cont;

	@override void dispose() {
		camera_cont.dispose();
		super.dispose();
	}

	@override void initState() {
		super.initState();
		init_camera();
	}

	init_camera() async {
		final cameras = await availableCameras();
		camera_cont = CameraController(cameras.firstWhere((camera) => camera.lensDirection == CameraLensDirection.back), ResolutionPreset.ultraHigh);
		await camera_cont.initialize();
		setState(() => loading = false);
		await camera_cont.prepareForVideoRecording();
		for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
		{
			setState(() => where = "$i start");
			await camera_cont.startVideoRecording();
			setState(() => where = "$i stop");
			final file = await camera_cont.stopVideoRecording();
			setState(() => where = "$i delete");
			await File(file.path).delete();
		}
	}

	@override Widget build(BuildContext context)
	{
		if(loading)return const Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator());
		else return Stack(
			alignment: Alignment.center,
			children: [
