Had this same issue on Flutter this morning.

Turns out my Flutter was on 2.4.0-5.0.pre (Dart 2.14.0) and downgrading it to 2.2.3 (that uses Dart 2.13.4) solved this issue.

The workaround for this is to upgrade analyzer if possible, and otherwise pin meta to an older version, I think <1.7.0.

See dart-lang/sdk#46687 also, I am going to close this as a duplicate of that as its a more general issue.
