Sorry for the bother. I've pushed a new release (v3.68.1 stable, v3.69.20230704 pre-release) that contains a fix for this. Please let me know if you continue to see issues. Thanks!

@DanTup
After updating to v3.68.1, I keep getting the "The SDK configured in dart.flutterSdkPath is not a valid SDK folder".
Also, the path in settings.json to be a non-existent folder and points to flutter windows beta!

VS Code 1.79.2
Flutter 2.10.5
Dart 2.16.2

@ykiran as far as I can see, that's expected behaviour. This warning is to tell you that you have an invalid path in your
dart.flutterSdkPathsetting (which you do, if it doesn't exist). The fix is to delete that setting, because it's not doing anything.ykiran commentedon Jul 5, 2023
Ok, but I just wanted to highlight that this started happening only after I updated to the latest version. The sdk path was also not present earlier IIRC.
Thanks anyways.

@ykiran gotcha. That's expected because this warning was added in the latest version (see https://dartcode.org/releases/#:~:text=A%20warning%20will%20now%20be%20shown%20if).
Some users had mistakenly put the path to the
flutterbinary in this setting (instead of the SDK folder) and it wasn't clear why their chosen SDK was not being used. This warning is to avoid that by encouraging people to remove any invalid SDK settings.If everything is working fine, the setting can just be deleted, because it's being ignored. The only time you need the setting is if we can't find the SDK via another means (such as looking in
PATH).dht-hedaihua commentedon Jul 23, 2023
I upgraded to v3.69.20230719 pre release and deleted the
dart.flutterSdkPathconfiguration item, but this warning will continue to pop up every time I open a new project. But the project is running well. This is really a not good experience. I didn't seem to have this warning before. Recently, I upgraded the version of Flutter usingflutter upgrade. Is this related to this operation?DanTup commentedon Jul 23, 2023
@dht-hedaihua let's continue in #4656
