Does anyone know if you can do reproducible builds in Flutter? There doesn't seem to be an option to install from the pubspec.lock file. I would of expected something like:
flutter pub get --from-lockfile
The problem is that the pubspec.lock is modified on every run of flutter pub get so I can't easily go back to the previous state of the dependencies at different points in the git history.
I would of expected it to behave like the yarn.lock or package-lock.json which allow you to create reproducible builds of the project.
As mentioned in the doc, pub get should fetch what's in pubspec.lock if the lockfile contains the solution for the dependency requirements and constraints configured in pubspec.yaml. Simply put, if pubspec.yaml and pubspec.lock isn't modified, and neither Dart nor Flutter SDK is upgraded, then pub get should fetch what's listed in pubspec.lock.
If you're still having issues and can be reproducible, you can file an issue here https://github.com/dart-lang/pub/issues - as jonasfj also mentioned in the Comments.
I'm currently developing flutter application with VSCode and want to add some packages. ex) dropdown_menu
I did flutter pub get / flutter packages get / clicking down arrow button in vscode(get Packages)
and this is all I get everytime
PS D:\VSCodeProjects\testt> flutter pub get
Running "flutter pub get" in testt... 0.4s
PS D:\VSCodeProjects\testt>
this is my code in pubspec.
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
cupertino_icons: ^0.1.3
dropdown_menu: ^1.1.0
I did turn on / off program( and computer) , restart,
and
flutter clean
flutter packages get
flutter packages upgrade
Does anybody know how to solve??
It's running, by default in vs code whenever you save your .yaml file it runs it under the hood. When you explicitly run it using the command, it takes very less time as the packages are already up to date.
If in doubt, try to use the new packages that you added and they should not give errors.
flutter pub get is meant to be quick especially when you don't have much libraries.
What you see is right there should not be any problem.
But if there is issues where you are going for a specific version and it is not working, this is because pubspec.yaml stores the settings of what version of library but pubspec.lock stores the actual version your app is using.
Judging from your comments of it not showing up. It might be related to this #31115
try the solution and see if it works.
Select the View > Command Palette menubar option
Type "flutter"
Click "flutter get packages"
you can use this in vscode
Pubspec Assist
After typing the package don't forget to save the yaml file or click ctrl + s.
When I run
flutter pub outdated
it gives me a list of all the packages I have in pubspec.yaml which are outdated. What if I have more than 100 packages in it, I'd like to know is there any command or way (except searching in terminal) to find out the information provided by above command but only for that package, something like:
flutter pub outdated xyz
where xyz is my package.
For Android Studio and IntelliJ, use Flutter pub version checker
For Visual Studio Code, use Pubspec assist
There is this plugin for Android Studio called Flutter enhancement suite which automatically detects outdated packages and suggests updates for you inside pubspec.yaml file
when I try to "serve" my flutter web app
I'm getting this error:
This version of webdev does not support the build_daemon protocol
used by your version of build_runner. A newer version of webdev is
available which supports your version of the build_daemon. Please
update.
how do I update webdev ?
"pub global" seems to offer only "activate"/ "deactivate"
and "pub upgrade" is only looking into the pubspec.yaml file
any idea?
Oh... I just run "pub global deactivate " and then "pub global activate ".
Anyway I opened an issue on github suggesting to add the feature "update".
I hope this easy solution might help you,
feel free to follow up the issue.
Adding build_daemon: ^1.0.0 in dev_dependencies: of .yaml file fix my error
Do not use a global version, but use a per-project version.
To ensure running webdev on your project always works, include the version of webdev it requires in the pubspec.yaml file:
dev_dependencies:
webdev: ^2.7.9
...
And run it using:
$ dart run webdev ...
This ensures the correct version of webdev is installed when dart pub get is run, and that particular version is used for the project.
This avoids having to update the global version when things change. Running dart pub global deactivate webdev and dart pub global activate webdev is unnecessary work.
Globals are bad. Using "dart pub global activate ..." installs only one version of webdev, which may become out-of-date with your project (as you've discovered). Or you might have multiple Dart projects, and they require different versions of webdev. The above approach uses a per-project version of webdev, ensuring it is always the correct version for the project.
I got the same problem now when I followed this tutorial https://medium.com/flutter-community/flutter-create-and-deploy-a-website-from-scratch-4a026ebd6c, but I didn't get pass the error by running flutter pub global activate.
Here is what i configured in my computer
run: pub get
run: webdev serve
dev_dependencies:
build_daemon: ^1.0.0
build_runner: ^1.4.0
build_web_compilers: ^2.0.0
Wish this will fix your issues.
I had to use the following command to update webdev
flutter pub global run webdev deactivate
and then
flutter pub global run webdev activate
I'm learning to use Flutter using Android Studio. I'm going through step by step doc provided by Flutter. At Step:2 Use an external package I'm getting issue importing the english_words package. I have properly added the package in pubspec.yaml and clicked Packages Get which added the dependency but at the time of importing the package in lib/main.dart it is saying
Target of URI doesn't exist
'package:english_words/english_words.dart'.
I have seen many questions on StackOverflow but none of them helped me. Please help!
For some packages, once you do all the process described by the other answers to this question, you have to close the Android project and open it again. As well as the emulator.
Some packages need the restart, others do not need it.
After adding the package in the pubspec.yaml file, you need to execute the command flutter packages get or click on "Packages Get" in the action ribbon at the top of pubspec.yaml file.
Then the dependency and any transitive dependency will be added to the .packages file.
Check this:
https://flutter.io/using-packages/
Solution (For VSCode):
Run flutter packages get in pubspec.yml
Restart VSCode
I had the same issue and went about it like listed below and it worked.
1. Add the package
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
# The following adds the Cupertino Icons font to your application.
# Use with the CupertinoIcons class for iOS style icons.
cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2
**english_words: ^3.1.5**
Save the pubspec.yaml file
go to your terminal and run 'flutter packages get'
4.Close your simulator and rebuild your cradle
Run the main.dart again and it should remove the error.
This is what worked for me, all the best.
Make sure that english_words is on the base-line with flutter:
Took me a lot of time, but in summary, just save the file pubspec.yaml will do. The command flutter pub get will be ran once u save it, then u can import the package.
There is no need to restart ur editor etc.
My solution was to add the "english_words: ^3.1.5" the version at the moment that I write this, under the "dependencies:" and before the "Flutter:" argument, without the "+" sign.
Hope that helps
I used this and it worked for me... without + sign and version in double quote ""..
english_words: "^3.1.5"
Make Sure that the alignment of english_words is correct inside your pubspec.yaml as it's "space sensitive" :
dependencies:
english_words: ^3.1.5 //two spaces
also never align it using tabs, I don't know why but it never works, and don't use + sign
There are so many methods to solve this issue, most of them will get solved on the second step,if not please try third method also it will work.
Run flutter packages get in pubsec.yaml file (if you are using VS Code it will be easier).
Restart your IDE.
Check it now, mostly it will work. If not try third step.
you have to repair pub caches
flutter packages pub cache repair
I hope it will work. if all methods are not working try to re install flutter.
my friend solution is so simple only add this code line in file pubspec.yaml
english_words: ^3.1.0
like this
dependencies:
# The following adds the Cupertino Icons font to your application.
# Use with the CupertinoIcons class for iOS style icons.
cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2
english_words: ^3.1.0
dev_dependencies:
flutter_test:
sdk: flutter
it would work perfectly:)
I faced the same issue but I managed to solve it using the steps below:
add the package as an example english_words: ^3.1.0" in 'pubspec.yaml file.
save file or press ctrl+s
//the Output Console will appear this message
[app name] flutter packages get.
Running "flutter pub get" in first_app..., 2.4s
exit code 0.).
3. check main.dart file, the error will be removed.
For me nothing worked. Things resolved only after
Flutter upgrade
in pubsec.yaml file
For those who are still experiencing this problem, it took me hours to figure out what was wrong. Basically, if all the other answers don't work:
Open the test/.packages file on whatever IDE you are using
Locate the package that is not working and go to that directory on your computer.
Delete the whole package. In my case it was the whole english_words package folder.
In the pubspec.lock and .packages file, delete all instances of that package.
run pub get
In the docs of https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/codelab there is the following code:
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
cupertino_icons: ^0.1.3
+ english_words: ^3.1.5
The thing which is causing the error is "+ sign". I just removed it and all worked fine for me.
Delete the plus sign "+" in front of english_words (if you have one)
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
cupertino_icons: ^1.0.2
english_words: ^3.1.5
I got the same issue.
It is observed only in version 4.0.0 .For lower versions there is no problem.
So here is what you can do to solve this:
Download code for the dependency from :
https://github.com/filiph/english_words
Unzip it Rename it to
english_words-4.0.0
Copy this folder.
Now go to flutter's SDK folder and navigate to
.pub-cache\hosted\pub.dartlang.org
and paste the folder english_words-4.0.0 here. Add dependency in pubspec.yaml file. Now run flutter pub get command.
You are good to go.
Note : How to find the path of Flutter SDK
All you need to do is to restart IDE(Android studio or VSCode)
Having this error message:
Error: Cannot run with sound null safety, because the following
dependencies don't support null safety:
package:english_words
I had to change this dependency english_words: ^3.1.5 to the latest version english_words: ^4.0.0 and make "pub get":
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
cupertino_icons: ^1.0.2
english_words: ^4.0.0
provider: ^6.0.0
in your pubspec.yaml file, instead of:
english_words: ^4.0.0
try:
english_words: '4.0.0'
it worked for me
