[BUG] `fitBounds` doesn't cause new tiles to load

[billyz313]

What is the bug?

When I use the .fitBounds method the map moves to the correct location, however the tiles which are supposed to be displayed on the map do not load. If I slightly pan or zoom the map the tiles show up. This happens in the web version when running thru the Chrome browser. It works fine in the android version. You can see it happening in the image below.

How can we reproduce it?

I removed the small bit of code from the search and hard coded the values so the code to reproduce can be as simple as

widget.controller.fitBounds(LatLngBounds(
                      LatLng(46.3471572, 0.0527585),
                      LatLng(48.9410263, 3.1286392)));

I work around it by programmatically moving the map directly after the fitBounds and it works, but I feel like it should be able to just fitBounds to show the tiles.

Do you have a potential solution?

Severity

Obtrusive: Prevents normal functioning but causes no errors in the console

Hi @billyz313,

Thanks for the report. This is strange that it only affects certain platforms.
Can you please confirm your flutter_map version?

If you have the spare time, please try depending on #1551, as that may or may not solve this issue. A pubspec.yaml snippet to do this is:

dependency_overrides:
    flutter_map:
        git:
            url: https://github.com/rorystephenson/flutter_map.git
            ref: flutter-map-state-refactor

My pleasure, I also found it strange.

In my pubspec i currently have flutter_map: ^4.0.0.

Unfortunately I can't use the flutter_map in the repo because I am using flutter_map_dragmarker and flutter_map_line_editor which throw a bunch of errors all seeming to lead back to stuff like "The getter 'FlutterMapState' isn't defined for the class 'DragMarkers'." So I assume those just are not ready for the new version...

Also, I did just update flutter_map: ^5.0.0. and removed the extra move to see if it works, but the same issues is present, so I added it back in for now.

line_editor and dragmarker are published for v5 already.

@ibrierley Thank you, I do have the updated ones for v5, however they seem to not work with the dependency_overrides suggestion from above

dependency_overrides:
    flutter_map:
        git:
            url: https://github.com/rorystephenson/flutter_map.git
            ref: flutter-map-state-refactor

I am facing the same issue on flutter web. Tiles are loaded at first, then after getting positions and fitBounds is called, tiles disappear.
flutter_map: 5.0.0
flutter : 3.10.6
Not sure what triggered this issue.

@ozkayas I have worked around the issue by adding a move after the fitBounds. The move actually does not move at all, I pass it the same lat, lon, and zoom, but it refreshes the tiles. This of course is not the fix for the bug, but it is a workaround until a fix is introduced. One caveat I guess is that I have both the bounding box and the center lat, lon. I reckon using widget.controller.center.latitude and widget.controller.center.longitude will also give the same results.
Here is my code:

widget.controller.fitBounds(bounds);
widget.controller.move(
    LatLng(double.parse(result["lat"]),
        double.parse(result['lon'])),
    widget.controller.zoom);

I have the same issue on Android/iOS versions of my app with flutter_map: ^5.0.0.

Although I have not yet gotten around to reproducing this, with the extra reports in this comments thread and the report at #1601, I'm marking this as P1 Important.

It appears as though this issue affects more platforms than just web, so it's unclear why OP could only reproduce on web.
