Unhandled Exception: Trigger event is only for private/presence channels in flutter

[omi-pjniones]

I followed the instructions from the docs but when pushing data, the connection has problem.

supposed "testsssd" would display on the Debug console but won't

[ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: FormatException: Unexpected end of input (at character 2785)

As per the error message, you can only trigger client events (events that originate on the client) when subscribed to a private or presence channel. If you subscribe to such a channel then this would work.

Note that to subscribe to private or presence channels you first need to authorise the client.

Further reading on these topics is available below:

Presence channels
Authorisation

Alternatively, if you are just looking to test the client behaviour when it receives an event then you could use the debug console to generate a test event. See https://pusher.com/docs/channels/getting_started/debugging/#sending-test-events-using-the-event-creator for info.
