Error: HiveError: Box not found. Did you forget to call Hive.openBox()

[divyesh5Gen]

I am getting the following error when I try to open the box tableDeviceShadow in my code:

Error: HiveError: Box not found. Did you forget to call Hive.openBox()

I have already added the await keyword before the Hive.openBox() function, but the error is still occurring.

I have tried the following things to fix the issue:

• I have updated the Hive library to the latest version.
• I have restarted my computer.
• I have cleared the cache and data for the app.

None of these things have worked.

I am attaching a screenshot of the error message.

I would appreciate any help you can provide in resolving this issue.

Thank you.

Where are you calling the openBox in your app?

[divyesh5Gen]

@milindgoel15 On Crud operation in DB

like: add, update, and get data from db.

You have to call openBox because the app runs, in the main() function before runApp. And after that you can do crud operation anywhere in the app by creating an instance of created box using Hive.box(boxname)

You mean I should open it only once when the app initializes?

yes, it should only be initialised once in the main function.
