[meta] meta version 1.7.0 seems incompatible with analyzer 0.40.6

[annagrin]

meta version 1.7.0 seems incompatible with analyzer 0.40.6 but does not have constraints preventing them from getting downloaded together by pub.

As a result, running pub upgrade with SDK 2.12.4 and using packages that depend on analyzer 0.40.6 (such as angular_test 3.0.0 and angular 6.0.1) causes build failures in user's code:

[jakemac53]

This is a known issue, cc @scheglov.

If lots of people are running into this, then probably the easiest fix would be to release an analyzer 0.40.7 which does work with the latest meta.

@jakemac53

easiest fix would be to release an analyzer 0.40.7

yes great idea, or maybe release an updated version of the "meta" 1.7.1 package that fixes it

[jakemac53]

We can't fix it on the meta side - the issue is that it introduced a new top level symbol (or extension?) that collided with something in analyzer. Removing that now would be a breaking change, which wouldn't solve this problem (analyzer 0.40.6 wouldn't allow that version).

[scheglov]

I could publish a modification of analyzer 0.40.6 as 0.40.7 and restrict to meta: '>=1.2.3 <1.4.0'.

[natebosch]

I could publish a modification of analyzer 0.40.6 as 0.40.7 and restrict to meta: '>=1.2.3 <1.4.0'.

That might work in some cases, but I don't know how often pub will choose the working combination - if it chooses the latest meta then this constraint blocks them from getting the right analyzer, instead of the constraint blocking them from getting the wrong meta.

If we could make 0.40.7 compatible with that meta then pub is very likely to choose the working combination on an upgrade.

[scheglov]

Thank you, @natebosch. Patching analyzer 0.40.6 to be compatible with newer meta sounds like a better idea.

[scheglov]

I published analyzer 0.40.7, tested that it works with meta 1.2.3 and meta 1.7.0.

[insinfo]

I can confirm that it is working, with AngularDart 6.0.1 and dart 2.13

[SimonErich]

I am still getting the same error. It seems I have analyzer 1.7.0. Is there a fix for this version as well?

I cannot downgrade to 0.40.7, because otherwise I have a conflict with the crypto 2.0 package.

[Fraa-124]

Same as previous comment Because analyzer >=0.39.5 <0.41.2 depends on crypto ^2.0.0 and next depends on crypto ^3.0.1, analyzer >=0.39.5 <0.41.2 is forbidden. So, because next depends on analyzer 0.40.7, version solving failed

This starts to get frustrating: /

[insinfo]

@SimonErich @Fraa-124 for all those who are still experiencing this problem, just overwrite the "meta" dependency.

just add these lines to pubspec.yaml

dependency_overrides:
meta: 1.6.0

[scheglov]

I think analyzer 1.7.2 was published as such compatible version. https://pub.dev/packages/analyzer/versions/1.7.2/changelog

[renatoathaydes]

I am having this issue with the current latest versions of:

• Dart (2.15.1)
• analyzer-0.41.2
• meta-1.7.0

My project has the following dependencies:

environment:
  sdk: '>=2.15.0 <3.0.0'

dependencies:

dev_dependencies:
  lints: ^1.0.1
  test: ^1.16.5

The problem started when I upgraded the Dart SDK version from sdk: '>=2.12.0 <3.0.0'.

If I add the line suggested by @insinfo to override the meta version, it works.

Alternatively, if I revert the update of the Dart SDK, it also seems to work.

Is the fix for this issue not released yet in the stable Dart SDK branch?

[renatoathaydes]

~Hm, something still doesn't work, actually.~

Here's the error I was having initially:

It now shows analyzer-3.0.0?!?

Finally, I had to remove the meta override to get it working again with Dart 2.15.1 :( . I think the problem is that the lock file must be deleted in order for the dependencies to get properly updated after this kind of change and I might have missed doing that?! Anyway, hope this helps others.

Deleting the lock file then flutter pub get solved it for me as well.

Fwiw this is functionally equivalent to running flutter pub upgrade. The get command never updates dependencies if there is a pubspec.lock, it just fetches those versions.

@RomanSoviak you've pinned build to a very old version (dependency_overrides: build: 1.6.3), which is holding back any dependency that also depends on build. Try running dart pub upgrade --major-versions to see what the stale deps are.
