Failed to precompile build_runner:build_runner: - flutter

I created a new project, added dependencies
when I launch it
flutter pub run build_runner build
I get:

I've read everything on stackoverflow, but I haven't found a solution.
Any idea?

Specify the analyzer version
analyzer: 1.5.0
Warning: do not up to the latest version, because it depends on meta package as is flutter_test - where you can't specify the version

flutter pub run build_runner build not working

when running flutter pub run build_runner build I get this error.

This issue is related to outdated dependencies most likely, I had a similar one just today.
Run flutter pub upgrade and it should work!
Those who are experiencing this problem, just overwrite the "meta" dependency.
just add these lines to pubspec.yaml
dependency_overrides:
meta: 1.6.0
This might solve your issue, and there is well discussed github discussion https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/46687

How to fix Flutter build_runner error: Failed to precompile build_runner:build_runner:

I'm working on two Flutter projects, one of them has already been migrated to null safety and uses Flutter 2.0.5. The second project, the one that causes the issues, is not yet migrated to null safety and uses Flutter 1.22.6. Switching projects is done by just renaming the Flutter SDK folder.
Now the problem is that build_runner only works for Flutter 2.0.5. When calling flutter pub run build_runner build from inside the Flutter 1.22.6 project, it fails
with the following error messages:

Oddly enough all of these errors are outside the project.
Calling flutter clean and flutter pub cache repair has no effect. So the question is, what needs to be done to get build_runner working on (the now obsolete) Flutter version 1.22.6?
Your advise is very much welcome, Thank you!
Because a required third party library prevented migrating to null safety, the only solution was to eliminate build_runner by switching from generated json to hand written one.
More a workaround than a solution, but it sufficed.

Exception: Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1
its seems missing character.dart and some gradle stuff, but i couldn't find exact problem and answer for now on google,
But if i make and run a new project it doesn't have any error, herewith my pubspec.yaml (i've compared old & new project pubspec.yaml there is no significant different exept for additional package):
It looks like you’re missing characters package in your pubspec.yaml.
Make sure it is there and your pubspec is formatted properly. And run flutter pub get again.
If this fails, you should run flutter pub cache repair
Had the same issue.
In pubspec.yaml just execute flutter pub get and flutter pub upgrade.
Then in the root directory terminal execute flutter clean and it will run without problems.
I have had similar issue on my flutter application after I updated the flutter SDK.
What solved my issue were to do the following.
Open a terminal (CMD) navigate to your flutter project, where the pubspec.yaml is. Run the following commands:
Solution
flutter pub get
flutter pub upgrade
After that if you still have issues you can run the flutter pub cache repair, however the
flutter clean
did the trick for me and fixed the issue.
I restarted both visual studio and the AVD virtual device, to be sure
to have a fresh restart.
What tools and software I use:
Visual Studio Code 1.47.3
Android Studio 4.0.1 (Android Virtual Device)
Flutter 1.20.1 (Release date 6.8.2020)
Dart 2.9.0
after refresh the flutter pub get, i've had error SVG problem and i update flutter_svg: ^0.17.4 to flutter_svg: ^0.18.0 it solved SVG problem,
I've ran into this issue a couple times after running flutter upgrade on a new flutter release. In my case, the solution had nothing to do with the error. Just outdated dependencies.
I first did flutter clean (IntelliJ/Android Studio from the tools>Flutter>Flutter clean.)
Updated my pubspec.yaml dependencies to their latest version and ran flutter pub upgrade
Finished! Now you should be able to build and run
try in terminal
$ flutter clean
after
$ flutter doctor
that should solve your issue
I faced the same issue, after deleting the .dart_tool directory/folder and running the application again, the problem solved
Yes! Many people are getting this as the kotlin version and build SDK versions are not in line with each other. just do as follow. one can clean this by only flutter pub upgrade after flutter pub cache repair but once for all I will suggest to follow as below.
flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter pub cache repair
flutter pub upgrade
done! Happy Coding.

After upgrading flutter version from v1.12.13+hotfix.8 to 1.17.0 getting such error

Reinstalled flutter resolved the issue. I think the problem was with the framework revision due to improper update of flutter.

flutter pub upgrade --major-versions
Use this Command in your terminal to solve this issue
