fix: hooks not working on Windows 10 but working on MacOS 14.6.1

[Kuroketsu]

Description

I have a brick from github that has pre_gen hooks that runs flutter pub add dio, but when I run mason make the terminal is just stuck and based on windows task manager the dart eats all of my PC's available ram.

Steps To Reproduce

1. mason new example --hooks
2. update hooks/pre_gen.dart to this:

   
   import 'dart:io';

import 'package:mason/mason.dart';

Future run(HookContext context) async { final progress = context.logger.progress('Installing Packages');

await Process.run( 'flutter', ['pub', 'add', 'dio'], runInShell: true, );

await Process.run( 'flutter', ['pub', 'get'], runInShell: true, );

progress.complete(); context.logger.success('Done instaling packages!'); }

3. use brick on a flutter project
4. See error

**Expected Behavior**

Generate the files and run pre_gen to add packages to pubspec.yaml

Hi @Kuroketsu 👋 Based on the error it looks like your windows machine is out of memory. Can you check to make sure your machine has enough memory to spawn a new isolated? Are you able to run other dart programs or flutter apps on the same machine?

[Kuroketsu]

Hello @felangel , thank you for the fast response.

My windows pc has 16gb ram and while running the mason make command the dart eats all my available memory (~10gb). It starts up low (~400mb) then it becomes bigger and bigger until it eats all my available memory. I know for sure that this is from the mason make command because when I cancel the command the occupied memory is released.

This should not be happening right?

[felangel]

@Kuroketsu yeah that should definitely not be happening. Are you able to provide detailed reproduction steps? I'd need to try to reproduce on a windows machine, thanks!

[Kuroketsu]

@felangel I tried to reproduce the issue again.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. run flutter create example_app
2. create mason folder
3. use mason_cli 0.1.0-dev.56 to send command mason new example_brick --hooks
4. update hooks/pre_gen.dart to this:

   
   import 'dart:io';

import 'package:mason/mason.dart';

Future run(HookContext context) async { final progress = context.logger.progress('Installing Packages');

await Process.run( 'flutter', ['pub', 'add', 'dio'], runInShell: true, );

await Process.run( 'flutter', ['pub', 'get'], runInShell: true, );

progress.complete(); context.logger.success('Done instaling packages!'); }

5. use brick on the flutter project

}

Thanks for the context. Can you elaborate on step 5? What command are you running to use the brick on the flutter project? Thanks!

[Kuroketsu]

I simply added the brick to the mason.yaml file, then run command mason get then mason make example_brick.
