Do you see any output in the Debug Console like "Reloaded x of y libraries"? Can you capture a log by running the Dart: Capture Logs command from the command palette, then run your app and try a few edits/saves, then click Stop Logging on the log notification (which may have collapsed into the bell icon in the status) bar and attach the log?
This could happen if we didn't detect any Flutter projects in your folder. Is the Flutter project within the top 3 levels of folders in your workspace? It could also be caused if the extension fails to activate (though probably you'd notice a lot more broken if that's the case) - you can check that by opening the developer tools (Help -> Toggle Developer Tools) and checking the console.
Could you also confirm your version of the Dart extension and the Flutter extension? Thanks!

Attached log.

Yes, I am in the project folder because I can run the project by short-key (F5) in Mac.
Hot-Reload and Hot-Restart both can be trigger by the following buttons:
Dart and Flutter extensions are both at 3.2.0.
I have also checked for these

Thanks! It looks like the Hot Reload service (
reloadSources) is not being registered, and our hot-reload-on-save handler quits early if the service is not available.@bkonyi I would expect to be fixed by flutter/flutter#35765, but I can repro this on current
master. Any ideas?DanTup commentedon Jul 15, 2019
@pczn0327 as an immediate workaround, if you're able to switch to the Flutter
stablechannel, that shouldn't have this issue (and also shouldn't be too far behind since it was updated recently).PhilipChng commentedon Jul 15, 2019
Thanks for the help @DanTup! I look forward for v3.3.0!

Ok, I figured out what this is. The name of the stream changed in the VM but I haven't published an updated VS Code extension to handle it, so the current live version fails to subscribe, and therefore never sees the service registered.
It's fixed in latest code, so if you're desperate to use
master, you can install one of the preview builds of v3.3 like https://github.com/Dart-Code/Dart-Code/releases/tag/v3.3.0-alpha.2.logging.2.[-]Flutter Hot Reload and Hot Restart disappeared in VSCode[/-][+]Flutter Hot Reload and Hot Restart disappeared in VSCode on Flutter master branch[/+]DanTup commentedon Jul 16, 2019
I've published a patch as v3.2.1 that contains this fix.

My issue was that I had a release apk installed on the device, and was installing debug apk. So Hot Reload option was not being shown and vs code was stuck on assemble debug.
