A beta containing v2.11.0 changes. Download the vsix file above and see instructions here for installing. Once v2.11.0 ships to the marketplace you will receive the update as normal.

New since Beta 1

• Restarting while debugging flutter test will no longer try to restart using flutter run
• Projects inside bin, cache or folders more than 3 levels deep will no longer be included in the "upgrade to Workspace Folders" prompt (you may still manually add these with File -> Add Folder to Workspace)
• Pressing F5 without a launch.json will now launch more scripts without configuration (scripts inside test, bin and tool)
• The SDK quick-picker will now longer show an error if configured folders contain symlinks to Dart binaries
• The extension should no longer crash if you press F5 in a non-Dart file

Changes also in Beta 1

Flutter Test

Basic support for flutter test has been added. If you launch a file (by pressing F5 with no launch config, or by setting program in your launch config) that is inside the test folder of a Flutter project, the script will be run using flutter run. Output will appear in the Debug Console pane. All debugging functionality (breakpoints, etc.) should work as normal.

Projects in Sub-Folders

When projects are found in sub-folders you will now be prompted to mark them as Workspace folders. This will allow Dart Code to better understand which folders are projects when detecting which debugger to run when pressing F5.

Note: VS Code will duplicate these workspace folders in the top level of explorer - please +1 this VS Code issue to allow this to be configurable.

Silent Extension Reloads

Many operations in Dart Code require re-initialising the extension. This was previously done by prompting the user to "Reload Window" which resulted in a visible disruption and all extensions re-initialising. In this version Dart Code silently re-initialises itself meaning no more prompts for actions such as changing SDKs. Since this operation still terminates and restarts the Dart analysis server it may take a few moments to re-analyze your project.

SDK Picker for Flutter

The Flutter version number now appears on the status bar and allows quickly switching SDKs by clicking onit (this functionality already existed for Dart). Set the dart.flutterSdkPaths setting to an array of SDK folders (or folders containing SDKs) to use this. Note: This does not change your Flutter channel but relies on having multiple versions of the SDK in different folders (you can do this without multiple clones by using git worktree as shown in our Travis script).

Other Changes

• dart.previewDart2 now explicitly sends --no-preview-dart-2 when set to false to allow opting-out of the Dart 2 preview once it becomes the default in Flutter Beta 2 (if undefined, neither flag will be sent)
• The setting dart.previewDart2 now works for Dart CLI apps in addition to Flutter (note: your Dart SDK must support it, which currently means you must be using a v2.0 dev release)
• Errors when launching Flutter projects (such as when you have not accepted Android licenses) will now appear in the Debug Console
• Flutter's Full Restart is now bound to Ctrl+F5 by default during a debugging session
• Flutter: New Project will now validate that you do not call your project flutter or flutter_test which would lead to confusing errors about depending on itself
• The flutter/flutter repository will once again be treated as a Flutter project rather than a Dart one, meaning it will use Flutter's version of the Dart SDK and start the flutter daemon
• The extension will no longer crash if you try to opened a Flutter project without a Flutter SDK but with a Dart SDK in your PATH
• The display of the workspace symbols has been updated to include file paths in addition to class names
• The document symbol list will no longer list constructor invocations within Flutter projects
• The document symbol list (Ctrl+Shift+O) now uses the same API as the workspace symbol list (as updated in the previous version) when your SDK supports it, resulting in more consistent rendering between document/workspace lists
• Running Pub: Get Packages, Pub: Upgrade Packages, Flutter: Get Packages or Flutter: Upgrade Packages directly from the command palette will now switch between flutter and pub based on the project type
• Commands like Pub: Get Packages will no longer fail if your Dart SDK is in a folder with parentheses in the name
• Code completion will no longer insert unwanted parentheses or colons that already exist ahead of the cursor when typing quickly
• Code completion for named arguments will no longer insert placeholders but instead automatically re-trigger code completion where the value should be provided
• Dart and Flutter version numbers will no longer show in the status bar when the active file is not a Dart file
• The SDK quick-picker will now include your current SDK even if it's not included via the dart.sdkPaths/dart.flutterSdkPaths settings
• A new option (dart.vmAdditionalArgs) has been added to pass custom arguments to the VM when launching Dart CLI apps

Preview Features available in this version

• dart.previewAnalyzeAngularTemplates - Enables analysis for AngularDart templates (requires the angular_analyzer_plugin)

Changes

• When the Dart or Flutter SDK could not be located, a "Locate SDK" button is shown to allow browsing to the SDK manually
• The Run Flutter Doctor command is now available outside of having a Flutter project open

• Exception tooltips will now show the toString() of the exception rather than just the type name
• Exception information will now show in the Variables debugger pane
• Searching for symbols across the workspace now uses a much faster API (this requires a very recent SDK build and will fall back to the slower method for older SDKs)
• The dependency tree explorer now shows file icons
• Refactorings from the lightbulb menu are now keybindable! See the readme for full details
• The Flutter SDK is now correctly detected from the .packages file of a project on Windows

Changes

• A new command (Flutter: New Project) has been created to simplify the process of creating and opening a new Flutter project (unlike others, this command is in the palette even without a project open)

  • As part of this, the type attribute on launch configurations in your launch.json will be automatically changed from dart-cli/flutter to dart upon opening the project
• Flutter projects no longer require a launch.json file if being launched with default arguments; if you hit F5 in a project without one it will just launch immediately
• If your packages are missing or out of date you will be prompted to run pub get/flutter packages get upon loading your project (this can be disabled with the new dart.promptToFetchPackages setting, which can be set at the folder level)
• Snippets have been added for Flutter widgets (stless, stful, stanim) and will show only inside Flutter projects
• Quick Fixes and other code actions that insert code now support tab stops and selections (for example the Wrap with new widget assist will now select the text widget for you to type over)
• Code completions will no longer insert parentheses/argument placeholders if they are already present
• Code completions will now longer insert named argument placeholders if a value is already present
• A spinner will be shown in the status bar during analysis
• A spinner will be shown in the status bar while Flutter/Pub commands are running
• Quick fixes will now be sorted in the lighbulb menu by the severity of the error that they fix

• SDKs will now be listed by version number in the SDK picker
• Snippets will no longer be prioritised over other completions in the completions list
• A workaround for a change in VS Code 1.20 that causes breakpoints to not be hit on Windows has been implemented
• Package restore commands will now be terminated and re-run if you invoke them again while they are already running (this includes if you change pubspec.yaml and save)
• Due to a number of issues with the implementation, external files (SDK, packages) will no longer open read-only (this behaviour may be restored in some form in future)
• Executing package restore commands in a workspace that has no pubspec.yaml on Windows will no longer get the extension stuck in a loop
• Saving pubspec.yaml in a Dart project will no longer run flutter packages get if you have a Flutter project in the same workspace
• Fetching flutter packages will no longer sometimes unexpectedly ask you for the workspace folder to run the command in
• Opening a Dart file outside of a folder will no longer show errors in the developer console
• A new setting (dart.previewDart2) has been added which allows you to opt-in to Dart 2 behaviour such as optional new/const (you must be using an SDK that supports this!)
