zoechi · 2018-03-26T17:41:26Z

What Flutter version are you using?
flutter --version

sinadarvi · 2018-03-26T17:48:36Z

@zoechi i got clone of the flutter repo today for installing it and i wasn't able to install it...and when i tried to run flutter --version i got above error

zoechi · 2018-03-26T17:50:18Z

Sounds like a network issue
You don't have by any chance a space in the Flutter install directory path?

sinadarvi · 2018-03-26T17:53:34Z

yes, i just update my answer ... i got above error again trying to get version...
and i have enough space in install directory path for installation

sinadarvi · 2018-03-26T17:58:34Z

@zoechi even deleting pub cache wasn't helpful. any idea ?

zoechi · 2018-03-26T19:11:33Z

I wouldn't expect deleting pub cache to have effect

nex3 · 2018-03-26T20:01:46Z

This issue was moved to flutter/flutter#15948

zoechi · 2019-02-08T10:29:50Z

@nex3 @natebosch can this issue be reopened here? It looks like this error is caused by invalid pubspec.yaml and there should be a better error message from pub.

I saw an example where the first line had a few spaces before name: ... and flutter/flutter#15948 mentions examples with invalid path: ...

People run into this quite often.

natebosch · 2019-02-08T20:05:56Z

cc @mit-mit to triage

zoechi · 2019-02-14T11:10:47Z

There are actually 2 different cases (which I wasn't aware before)

Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml"

A few I found in a Google search. Some are older but I think they show that in many situations the error message is not helpful. Perhaps there is a way to get more information about the root cause.

Update Seems there is another source of this error
caused by Chinese Pub mirror server being down or not responding properly for some other reason

Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in "C:\flutter\bin\cache\dart-sdk\bin" #2076 (no valuable information but from the timing probably the same as
flutter create xxx #2078
Error when pub upgrade flutter tool #1812

This is another open Pub issue with the same error

pubspec.lock is different between Windows and Unix if path reference is used #950 (comment) (pubspec.lock is different between Windows and Unix if path reference is used)

and there is a similar error message

Error: No pubspec.yaml file found.

which looks like it comes from Flutter https://github.com/flutter/flutter/search?q=%22No+pubspec.yaml+file+found%22&unscoped_q=%22No+pubspec.yaml+file+found%22

I just put this here to gather more information and perhaps find a pattern.

mit-mit · 2019-02-19T19:47:47Z

@zoechi did you come across a simple repro for this?

zoechi · 2019-02-19T20:02:25Z

@mit-mit no, every attempt to reproduce failed so far.

There were 2 cases where fixing the content of pubspec.yaml seems to have solved it, but I wasn't able to reproduce that way.

Most other cases were broken ~/.pub-cache or where some radical actions like reinstalling Flutter seems to have fixed it.

AshrafulalamRasel · 2019-02-25T19:37:13Z

Simple write in terminal ,
cd your project name // for windows
flutter run // use for run your application .

zoechi · 2019-03-12T07:16:11Z

@mit-mit feel free to close. I won't have time to investigate further anytime soon.
We can reopen if new information emerges that would allow to track the cause down.

shinayser · 2019-05-02T20:49:13Z

I am having this problem right now. I've already tried deleting the whole flutter directory but nothing works.

I noted that the library folder is created inside the hosted folder (inside the .pub-cache), but it's empty.

Any idea what may be causing this?

Dhciolfi · 2019-05-04T00:51:18Z

I am having the same problem.

Remove .git work for me.

This is a pretty old, closed bug. If anyone is still experiencing issues, please file new issues (and kindly include as much information, repro steps, etc. as possible).

galyathee · 2020-02-02T09:38:54Z

I reproduced it simply.
I create a basic flutter application, I then copy the following
audio_service:
path: ../

directly from the page : https://github.com/ryanheise/audio_service/blob/master/example/pubspec.yaml

Adding audio_service does not create the issue. Adding then "path: ../" brings:

Running "flutter pub get" in singing_buttons...
Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in "...AndroidStudioProjects".
pub get failed (66; Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in ".../AndroidStudioProjects".)
Process finished with exit code 66_

jonasfj · 2020-02-10T12:05:51Z

I create a basic flutter application, I then copy the following

audio_service:
   path: ../

That's always wrong.. unless you're doing it from the audio_service/example folder, you can't path import..

Instead of

audio_service:
   path: ../

remove the "path:" and just use
audio_service:
or the given version that you need.

whoamisafal · 2021-08-30T11:21:53Z

I got the solution

First go to the \flutter.pub-cache\hosted\pub.dartlang.org
Delete all the package
Then Congrats your problem solved

The problem is due to the pubspec.yaml file missed in your package or plugins
This step work for me
