Error 42601 using postgresql and dart - postgresql

Question

I get the error 42601 when using postgresql
I created the table using pgAdmin. The autogenerated code looks as follows.
-- Table: posts
-- DROP TABLE posts;
CREATE TABLE posts
(
post_id bigserial NOT NULL,
title character varying(150) NOT NULL,
description character varying(500),
posted_at timestamp with time zone,
last_edited timestamp with time zone,
"user" character varying(50) NOT NULL,
editor character varying(50),
up_votes integer NOT NULL,
down_votes integer NOT NULL,
flag character varying(7),
CONSTRAINT "PK_post_id" PRIMARY KEY (post_id),
CONSTRAINT "FK_user" FOREIGN KEY ("user")
REFERENCES users (login) MATCH SIMPLE
ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION
)
WITH (
OIDS=FALSE
);
ALTER TABLE posts
OWNER TO postgres;
I execute an insert operation with the following helper method.
addPost(Map values){
connect(uri)
.then((conn){
conn.execute('insert into posts values(#title, #description, now(), now(), #user, #editor, #upVotes, #downVotes, #flag', values)
.then((_) => conn.close())
.catchError((err){
print('Execute error in addPost: $err');
})
.whenComplete(() => conn.close());
})
.catchError((err) => print('Error in addPost: $err'));
}
where Map values has the form:
{'title': 'Sample title', 'description': 'This is a description for a sample post', 'user': 'dartUser', 'editor': 'dartUser', 'upVotes': 0, 'downVotes': 0, 'flag': 'healthy'}
I'm not a postgresql expert, so this might be something trivial I just don't see.

You can find the error codes for postgresql here. Error 42601 means a syntax error.
I suspect the cause is that you are missing a closing bracket on the 'values' clause, after #flag.
