Flutter Container BoxShadow doesn't show

Question

Here it's my code in this moment:

ClipRRect(
  borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(11),
  child: Container(
    decoration: BoxDecoration(
      gradient: LinearGradient(
        begin: FractionalOffset.bottomLeft,
        end: FractionalOffset.topRight,
        colors: <Color>[Colors.purple, AppBaseColors.orange],
      ),
      boxShadow: [BoxShadow(color: Colors.yellow)]
    ),
    child: Material(
      child: InkWell(
        onTap: () {
          print("tapped");
        },
        child: Container(
          width: ButtonTheme.of(context).minWidth,
          height: ButtonTheme.of(context).height,
          child: Center(
            child: Text(
              "log in",
              style: TextStyle(
                  color: Colors.white, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
      color: Colors.transparent,
    ),
  ),
),

WHAT HAVE I TRIED:

• Add the boxShadow in the first Container
• Add the boxShadow in the second Container
• Add another Container with boxShadow as a parent of ClipRRect
• Add the boxShadow in Material as shadowColor (ofc is not working because I don't have any kind of shadow)
• Adding also the spreadRadius and blurRadius in all of the cases from above, but nothing changed.

Any idea what I did wrong?

You need to do these changes:

• remove the ClipRRect widget.
• add borderRadius inside BoxDecoration.

• add an Offset to your BoxShadow.

  Container(
            decoration: BoxDecoration(
                color: Colors.blue,
                gradient: LinearGradient(
                  begin: FractionalOffset.bottomLeft,
                  end: FractionalOffset.topRight,
                  colors: <Color>[Colors.purple, Colors.orange],
                ),
                borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(11),
                boxShadow: [
                  BoxShadow(color: Colors.yellow, offset: Offset(5.0, 5.0))
                ]),
            child: Material(
              borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(11),
              clipBehavior: Clip.hardEdge,
              child: InkWell(
                onTap: () {
                  print("tapped");
                },
                child: Container(
                  width: ButtonTheme.of(context).minWidth,
                  height: ButtonTheme.of(context).height,
                  child: Center(
                    child: Text(
                      "log in",
                      style: TextStyle(
                          color: Colors.white, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
                    ),
                  ),
                ),
              ),
              color: Colors.transparent,
            ),
          ),
