pub get fails to "package doesn't exist" in Windows

[kinex]

I have this git reference in my pubspec.yaml:

in_app_purchase:
  git:
    url: https://github.com/kinex/plugins
    ref: 0c9010bbc2a6537dc5089ce65c7c8ac092b62512
    path: packages/in_app_purchase

flutter pub get works without issue in Mac, but in Windows I get this error:

Package doesn't exist (the pubspec for in_app_purchase 0.3.5+1 from git has version 0.3.4+3).
pub get failed (server unavailable) -- attempting retry 1 in 1 second...
Package doesn't exist (the pubspec for in_app_purchase 0.3.5+1 from git has version 0.3.4+3).
pub get failed (server unavailable) -- attempting retry 2 in 2 seconds...
.
.

If I comment out the "ref:" line, pub get works also in Windows. The referenced commit is in a branch (not master).

Hmm - I cannot reproduce.

I get a resolution on windows with the following pubspec.yaml also using flutter 1.22.6 stable:

name: blah
environment:
  sdk: ">=2.3.0 <3.0.0"

dependencies:
  in_app_purchase:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/kinex/plugins
      ref: 0c9010bbc2a6537dc5089ce65c7c8ac092b62512
      path: packages/in_app_purchase

Maybe something got borked in your cache...

Try deleting everything in flutter/.pub-cache/git/ before doing another pub get.

Thanks, it helped.

Not sure if it was related, but I noticed I had also "Filename too long" issue described here. I got that error after clearing the cache and then tried running pub get again. Surprising that I have still been able to create and publish APKs.

Another possible reason for this issue was that my pub cache was under %APPDATA% which is a roaming folder and I have used Flutter in two Windows machines with the same account. I am not sure how well the roaming works, maybe it has messed the cache at some point. I found #2297 and now moved my cache under %LOCALAPPDATA%.
