flutterpi_tool installation problem

[quanggdungg0609]

when i used "flutter pub global activate flutterpi_tool" i received a message like this:

Note: file is pinned to version 7.0.0 by flutter_tools from the flutter SDK. See https://dart.dev/go/sdk-version-pinning for details.

Note: process is pinned to version 5.0.2 by flutter_tools from the flutter SDK.

See https://dart.dev/go/sdk-version-pinning for details.

Because flutterpi_tool <0.2.0 depends on file ^6.1.4 and every version of flutter_tools from sdk depends on file 7.0.0, flutterpi_tool <0.2.0 is incompatible with flutter_tools from sdk. And because every version of flutterpi_tool depends on flutter_tools from sdk and flutterpi_tool >=0.2.0 depends on process ^4.2.4, every version of flutterpi_tool requires process ^4.2.4. Because every version of flutterpi_tool depends on flutter_tools from sdk which depends on process 5.0.2, every version of flutterpi_tool requires process 5.0.2. Thus, flutterpi_tool is forbidden. So, because pub global activate depends on flutterpi_tool any, version solving failed.

Seems like you're on flutter beta? Or master? Flutter stable is still using file 6.1.4: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/stable/packages/flutter_tools/pubspec.yaml#L18

flutterpi_tool is only supported for flutter stable

[quanggdungg0609]

thank you for the help, i installed the flutterpi_tool but i have errors when following the README.md to build a exemple app. I have searched all topics in the Issues section but have not found an answer. Here is the error:

[ardera]

I saw your message on discord and replied to you there 😄 just adding it here for completeness:

Hey, currently linux arm64 is not supported as a host platform. Though, I see you're running parallels; you can try running on macos natively, macOS arm64 (apple silicon) is supported as a host platform

[quanggdungg0609]

Unfortunately when I do as you said, I get the message as shown in the picture but with flutterpi_gen_snapshot_macos_darwin64_generic_release 🥲. And when I run it again on the 2nd try I get this message ... and a series of errors after that but my terminal did not display all of them to capture them

[ardera]

Can you try running flutter pub global activate flutterpi_tool again, and then rerunning the build?

If the error remains, the complete commandline output would be great, either copy & paste the output, or redirect the output to a file and attach that, etc. Thanks!

I also encountered the same situation, how should I deal with it?

[ardera]

@IceIce1030 if you have a similar problem, please also post the complete output.

Having a similar issue here are some details: OS: Ubuntu 22.04 flutterpi_tool: Using latest commit on main branch Activated with dart pub global activate --source path ~/Development/flutterpi_tool (I tried with pub as well same problem)

I first ran flutterpi_tool precache, here is the full output:

Then when running flutterpi_tool build --arch=arm64 --release

flutterpi_tool build --arch=arm64 --release output

  $ flutterpi_tool build --arch=arm64 --release

I checked the flutter/bin/cache/artifacts/flutter-pi/ directory and the folders are present but the binaries are not, so I downloaded and extracted them manually which seems to fix the problem.

Here is my flutter doctor output.

@werner-scholtz fixed in af8b5f98ee6c23936b2907bf739f6fa1a738ba14 and 780bd021fb252cfbeb2c1b68a40416b5cdf53f6a

Can you try removing bin/cache/flutter-pi.stamp and bin/cache/artifacts/flutter-pi and try again?

[werner-scholtz]

Hi, seems to be working now with the latest release (0.5.0).
