Description

@DanTup

This has come up a few times now (for ex. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65344281/initializing-flutter-this-may-take-a-few-minutes-takes-forever-on-vscode). We should handle this better, such as showing the current output after a while, and/or offering some more help.

    How is it solved?

    The issue here was usually that the Flutter process was getting stuck and there was text explaining why that was not shown to the user. Now, the output should show in an Output pane, so if this happens, the reason/message should be visible. If you're seeing it getting stuck with no visible output, please file a new issue with a screenshot of exactly what you're seeing so we can dig into it. Thanks!

    @SANKETV4E can you open a new issue about this, and include the full output of running flutter doctor -v in a terminal in addition to the screenshot above? Thanks!

    @joji33888 this issue was resolved a long time ago. If you're having problems, please open a new issue and include a clear description of the behaviour you're seeing (screenshots and/or screen recording can be very helpful). Thanks!
