[CP-stable][ Widget Preview ] Fix crash when widget_preview_scaffold/.dart_tool doesn't exist - #179042
Conversation
…` doesn't exist (flutter#178662) If the `.dart_tool/widget_preview_scaffold/.dart_tool/` directory wasn't created during the initial run of `flutter widget-preview start` due to the command being interrupted or `pub` being disabled, `flutter widget-preview start` would crash due to the `package_config.json` logic walking up the directory structure looking for the nearest `package_config.json`. This would point to the parent project's `package_config.json`, which would not be compatible with the widget preview scaffold project. Fixes flutter#178660 and flutter#177655

Code Review
This pull request addresses a crash in the widget preview feature that occurs when the widget_preview_scaffold/.dart_tool directory is missing. The fix introduces a check for this directory's existence and, if absent, generates the necessary package configuration. This logic is encapsulated in a new, reusable method within PreviewPubspecBuilder. Additionally, a new integration test has been added to verify the fix and prevent future regressions. The changes are well-structured and effectively resolve the issue.
