Same here, I can reproduce locally on macOS Monterey 12.3.1

cc @annagrin @elliette, we need to publish a new version of webdev with support for dwds versions ^14.0.0 since webdev seems to be pulling in the most recent vm_service which has an incompatible signature for getSourceReport.

Yeah, I tried forking this project and activating webdev, but that doesn't work with --git-path, apparently: dart-lang/pub#3449

Just pasting that issue here so you don't have to visit the link:

$ dart pub global activate -sgit https://github.com/dart-lang/webdev.git --git-path webdev
Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in "/private/var/folders/rp/vr470v996xqfc8wr6qlgcz_00000gn/T/pub_PyEsOB".

Unfortunately this is a tricky one to work around since there hasn't been a change to webdev, just one of its dependencies, so we'd need to try a version that has a vm_service version <8.0.0. Let me see if I can find one that still works as a bandaid until someone comes into the office that can publish a new webdev with fixed constraints.

8.2.2 works, e.g. <8.3.0

[bkonyi]

A quick workaround is to just activate webdev version 2.7.7. I don't think anything significant has changed since that version was published, other than some bug fixes.

Just run this:

dart pub global activate webdev 2.7.7

Not sure I understand. Wouldn't you "just" update dependencies and release 2.7.9?

Yes, that's the fix, but I don't have the permissions to publish a new version, which makes it tricky to work around until someone with the right permissions comes online :-)

[bkonyi]

Shouldn't be more than a couple of hours, ideally.

Hopefully 2.7.7 works for now, thx for the workaround!
