dart code suggestions aren't working after v2.1.1 update

[waleedf112]

i didn't write any flutter/dart code for a long time, when i came back i had a really annoying problem and it is slowing me down.

the code completion/suggestions (when hitting ctrl+space) is working fine, except when i want to see suggestions for a property of a widget.

after trying for 6 hours and trying almost every version of dart and flutter, i figured out a the cause of the problem.

you have to download the latest version of Flutter SDK. and the dart SDK version 2.1.1 from (https://dart.dev/tools/sdk/archive)

and only take two files:

First file: dart-sdk\bin\dart.exe and copy it to Flutter\bin\cache\dart-sdk\bin

Second file: dart-sdk\bin\snapshots\analysis_server.dart.snapshot and copy it to Flutter\bin\cache\dart-sdk\bin\snapshots

it's not a great solution but at least it works for writing code, you will lose all the features that were introduced after the 2.1.1 update, and you can't build the app or run it or even make updates to the packages.

i've tried different PCs (4 of them, plus a VM machine) Windows and Mac, and different IDEs (Android Studio, Vscode, intellij), they all have the same problem.

Dart Code suggestions have been working for a while again. I suspect this can be closed.

it's still not working even with the latest flutter update.
the only workaround i found is this:
#38739

Ah, interesting, apologies.

I expect that this has been fixed by now as a result of having a tighter integration between the Dart SDK and Flutter SDK. If I'm wrong I'll be happy to re-open this issue.

not really, the only workaround is this:

and it only works on vscode with Flutter 1.20.4

Does code completion work correctly in Flutter 1.22.5?

unfortunately, it doesn't

I can't remember the latest version that works with the defaults. but for the workaround, the latest version that works is 1.20.4:

Thanks for testing it.
