Error from the analysis server: Couldn't resolve the package 'custom_lint_builder'

[buchen]

Describe the bug

My projects is using riverpod and has a custom lint sub-package.
The issue started to occur after updating custom_lint_builder and custom_lint to version 0.6.0.

Running locally, dart analyze lib runs fine.
Running on codemagic CI, however, I get the following error message:

Error from the analysis server: Error: Couldn't resolve the package 'custom_lint_builder' in 'package:custom_lint_builder/src/channel.dart'.

• Remove the my custom lint package does not make a difference
• Clearing the pub cache locally does not reproduce the issue

I'd appreciate any hint in which direction to investigate

This is (part of) the verbose output. The ~5.5K output contains the resolution of the packages which all come up to

I can't help with the limited information given. I'd need a complete example

But it sounds to me like you're missing a pub get or have incorrectly installed your dependencies. The error is complaining about unresolved imports afterall

[buchen]

I'd need a complete example

@rrousselGit Fair. For what it's worth, here is the full error log: issue228_full_log.txt

It looks to me that the dependency resolution works, but somehow something is different in the environment on the build server and it does not get passed to the analysis server.

BTW, downgrading to this version shows the same issue:

• custom_lint = 0.5.11
• custom_lint_builder = 0.5.14

But downgrading these version fixes the issue:

• custom_lint = 0.5.8
• custom_lint_builder = 0.5.10

[buchen]

FYI, to narrow it down, I converted the pubspec dependencies to ones pointing to git commits - including some dependencyOverrides - in this style:

  custom_lint:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/invertase/dart_custom_lint.git
      ref: c5fccae54fa305d60302f453f8b192f7b51977ea
      path: packages/custom_lint

This commit still does work: c5fccae
With the next commit, it starts failing: 346824c
Which doesn't make any sense to me as (as a newbie to the dart/flutter ecosystem) as the last commit 'only' changes release versions.

I'm having the same problem with Github Actions.

My hack: Because I don't want to do without the Riverpod lints locally, I remove the custom_lint plugin on the build server.

[rrousselGit]

Could you share a small repository to reproduce the issue?

I assume your project, with all sources deleted, should be enough

[re-ckart]

@rrousselGit I have the same problem in my project. Here is a repository that showcases the issue. re-ckart/dart_custom_lint_gh_action_error#1

The Github Action fails in the PR with the following error

Error from the analysis server: Failed to start plugins

[rrousselGit]

@re-ckart You need to run flutter pub get. Your workflow never does it.

[re-ckart]

@rrousselGit
flutter analyze should run this by default or am I reading the help wrong?
$ flutter analyze -h

Usage: flutter analyze [arguments]
-h, --help                    Print this usage information.
    --[no-]current-package    Analyze the current project, if applicable.
                              (defaults to on)
    --watch                   Run analysis continuously, watching the filesystem for changes.
    --write=<file>            Also output the results to a file. This is useful with "--watch" if you want a file to always contain the latest results.      
    --[no-]suggestions        Show suggestions about the current flutter project.
    --[no-]pub                Whether to run "flutter pub get" before executing this command.
                              (defaults to on)

But nevertheless, I updated my workflow to run pub get before analyze and I still get the same error. (see last commit in the PR I linked before)

Hey @rrousselGit
I'm also getting the same thing and my current solution is to work around it the way @buchen mentioned. I'm posting this reply to give you some more context on the problem.

1. I only get this on CI (see the workflows I'm posting); it works fine locally on linux and macos
2. It happens with flutter analyze, but not dart analyze
3. For me it started on flutter 3.19, but it doesn't seem to be the case for the others?
4. There is a flutter doctor -v on the "Run Setup" step for more info, but it looks normal to me. CI is using flutter subosito action, maybe the problem is there?

[re-ckart]

@rrousselGit Are there any updates regarding this issue?

[S-ecki]

My hack: Because I don't want to do without the Riverpod lints locally, I remove the custom_lint plugin on the build server.

sed -i '' '/custom_lint/d' analysis_options.yaml
flutter analyze lib

As a note to this workaround: For my workflows using ubuntu-latest, I needed to slightly change it to:
sed -i '/custom_lint/d' analysis_options.yaml

Nevertheless, I am really thankful for the workaround! Having same issue as people above.
