Augmented code from macros not showing up in VSCode

[wolfenrain]

Describe the bug

I have been playing around with Dart's experimental support for macros and I have followed the steps described here but I have not been able to get the augmented code to show up.

To Reproduce

1. Follow the steps described in the documentation: https://dart.dev/language/macros#set-up-the-experiment
2. Clone https://github.com/felangel/struct for a simple reproducible example
3. Run dart pub get
4. Open the example/main.dart

Expected behavior

I expected the augmented code to work and show up correctly.

Screenshots This screenshot shows that the copyWith does not exist, even tho the macro adds it and I can run that code with dart run --enable-experiment=macros example/main.dart

Please complete the following information:

You can run the Dart: Collect Diagnostic Information command from the VS Code command palette (F1) to easily capture this information or provide it manually.

/cc @kevmoo as he asked me to open an issue and CC him on it 😏

fwiw I'm also seeing the same thing. I was able to see things work correctly once or twice (e.g I could see the "go to augmentation" shortcut in vscode and the analyzer wasn't complaining) but lately I'm also experiencing the same issues as @wolfenrain using the exact same Dart version.

You're hitting https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/55746 which has just been fixed. Currently the analysis server isn't running macros if they're imported from a file that exports them.

If you add src/ into your import in example/main.dart to import the file containing the macro directly then things will work:

import 'package:struct_annotation/src/struct_annotation.dart';
//                                ^^^^

Once you're on an SDK that includes https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/commit/73bdc86dd50e11cedb3bf976c597a02ad209bdb4 then you'll be able to import a file that exports them.
