Failed assertion: line 551 pos 12: 'child.hasSize': is not true

Question

I'm new in Flutter, I'm working on an e-commerce website, I want to add a Grid in my welcome page showing recent products, I'm trying to use GridVeiw.builder, but I got an error

Failed assertion: line 551 pos 12: 'child.hasSize': is not true.

I don't understand why I'm seeing this error.

Try setting the shrinkWrap property of the GridView to true so it takes only the space needed based on it's items:

I added a demo using your code as an example:

 return GridView.builder(
    itemCount: products.length,
    shrinkWrap: true, // new line
    physics: NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(), // new line
    gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(
      crossAxisCount: 2,
    ),
    itemBuilder: (context, index) {
      return Product(
        name: products[index]['name'],
        image: products[index]['image'],
        oldPrice: products[index]['old_price'],
        finalPrice: products[index]['price'],
      );
    },
  );

EDIT: To prevent the GridView from scrolling separately in your ListView, set the physics of the GridView to NeverScrollablePhysics.
