Command

flutter run --machine --start-paused -d d9a94afe2b649fef56ba0bfeb052f0f2a7dae95e --devtools-server-address http://127.0.0.1:9103/ --target /Users/huynq/Desktop/demo/lib/main.dart

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Using Flutter master channel

    My current Flutter setup uses alias like this:

    # >>> Flutter  >>>
export PATH="/Users/huynq/Documents/GitHub/flutter/bin:$PATH"
alias flutterm='/Users/huynq/Documents/GitHub/flutter_master/bin/flutter'
alias flutterb='/Users/huynq/Documents/GitHub/flutter_beta/bin/flutter'
alias flutter3223='/Users/huynq/Documents/GitHub/flutter3.22.3/bin/flutter'

alias dartm='/Users/huynq/Documents/GitHub/flutter_master/bin/dart'

    I'm on 3.27.0-1.0.pre.442 currently and using flutterm to reproduce this issue. The issue didn't appear before with this setup.

  2. Create a new Flutter project, then run on iOS app target, the issue does not appear on Android app target

  3. You may encounter another error about Dart SDK like this:

    StateError: Bad state: dart pub deps --json failed
The current Dart SDK version is 3.5.4.

Because demo requires SDK version ^3.7.0-123.0.dev, version solving failed.

    Try to bypass this issue by update your pubspec.yaml file:

    From

    environment:
  sdk: ^3.7.0-123.0.dev

    To

    environment:
  sdk: '>=3.2.3 <4.0.0'

  4. Run on iOS app target again and see the crash

Analysis

  • Looking at the error message, it has fallen to:

flutter/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/compute_dev_dependencies.dart

Line 68 in 5fd650f

fail('Expected field "$name" to be a list, got "$value"');

This was created by #157462 which was merged recently (cc @matanlurey for thoughts)

    #158370, related to this, when using flutter commands outside of environment variables, you may encounter this issue. A temporary solution is to set the flutter channel you are using as an environment variable.

    @yiiim I see. Thanks for linking the PR. Looks like this is only reproduced on my setup with Flutter alias:

    # >>> Flutter  >>>
export PATH="/Users/huynq/Documents/GitHub/flutter/bin:$PATH"
alias flutterm='/Users/huynq/Documents/GitHub/flutter_master/bin/flutter'
alias flutterb='/Users/huynq/Documents/GitHub/flutter_beta/bin/flutter'
alias flutter3223='/Users/huynq/Documents/GitHub/flutter3.22.3/bin/flutter'

alias dartm='/Users/huynq/Documents/GitHub/flutter_master/bin/dart'

    The 1st step was incorrect as the issue will not appear if I upgrade Flutter like that, will update the steps.

    Getting this issue as well after using latest 3.27 beta channel and latest master, with fvm and was pointed here by a link in the crash. Interesting, seems like I cannot build anything now, investigating more.
