FYI, here you should be doing skyNode.width = skyNode.parentNode.width. Without
that the width of the BlockLayout is always 0, so it looks like you don't paint
anything.

why wouldn't the parent set the width?

+    skyNode.getChildElements().forEach((child) {
+      child.width = skyNode.width;
+      child.setNeedsLayout(); // with this line, sky crashes. without it, nothing renders as a child of this LayoutContainer
+      child.layout();
+      child.x = 0.0;
+      child.y = y;
+      y += child.height;
+    });
+    skyNode.height = y;
+  }
+}
