Does not work inside an IntrinsicHeight and row

[stargazing-dino]

Hi!

Steps to Reproduce
Create a listview and add an item that looks like the following code block from here https://stackoverflow.com/a/51157072/8213910

Here is a minimal example

class ExampleWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: ListView.builder(
        itemCount: 3,
        itemBuilder: (context, _) {
          return Card(
            child: IntrinsicHeight(
              child: Row(
                crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
                children: <Widget>[
                  Container(
                    height: 40,
                    width: 20.0,
                    color: Colors.amber,
                  ),
                  Expanded(
                    child: AutoSizeText('hello'),
                  ),
                ],
              ),
            ),
          );
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

It throws this:

The following assertion was thrown during performLayout():
LayoutBuilder does not support returning intrinsic dimensions.

Calculating the intrinsic dimensions would require running the layout callback speculatively, which might mutate the live render object tree.

Screenshots
I want to create a card with date text on the left that will scale and content on the right. I don't want to use a FittedBox solution as the text grows too much on landscape and looks ugly.

Is there any workaround / hack available?

Having the same issue. AutoSizeText in the widget tree under an InstrinsicHeight node gives the exception as reported in the original post above. I assume this isn't something that can be fixed, ie the issue is not with AutoSizeText but rather would happen with any use of LayoutBuilder underneath IntrinsicHeight.

[talski]

if you use the AutoSizeText widget with maxLines = 1, then you can wrap the widget inside a SizedBox and define the height
