🐛 [firebase_core: ^2.15.0] Target of URI doesn't exist package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart'

[mrbinitie]

Bug report

I have successfully built a flutter app with Firebase. Today I opened VSCode and there were these errors in the firebase_options. dart Target of URI doesn't exist - package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart' and the code will no longer recompile. FlutterFire works and I have added the firebase_core plugin, nothing works. To check if it was something I did I created a new project connected to my Firebase project, the moment firebase_options.dart was generated by flutterfire configure the errors appeared in the new dart file

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. create a new Flutter project
2. run flutterfire configure
3. run fflutter pub add firebase_core
4. rerun flutterfire configure

Expected behavior

firebase_options.dart generated without errors referencing a missing firebase_core.dart file

Sample project

Providing a minimal example project which demonstrates the bug in isolation from your main App greatly enhances the chance of a timely fix. Please link to the public repository URL.

I also noticed something else, if you look in the dependences panel, firebase core is the only empty folder. the screenshot will show what I mean. How has this happened? I just did a release to the Play store a week ago and all was perfect

Hi @mrbinitie, this is likely an issue with your local setup. Have you made any recent changes to your flutter tooling or your project? I followed the steps you have outlined and it all worked just fine for me. The firebase_core package is also not empty in my dependencies. What version of the flutterfire_cli are you also using? Please also provide the output of flutter doctor -v. Thank you

[danagbemava-nc] thanks so much for the speedy response. The only thing I have done is to update flutter and dart, nothing else. I've totally rebuilt the project from scratch and still same result. It bugged me so much I couldn't sleep. flutterfire_cli 0.2.7. Here's my flutter doctor _v

I'd really appreciate your help here. I'm totally befuddled and out of ideas, it shouldn't happen in a brand new project

[danagbemava-nc]

Hi @mrbinitie, kindly walk me through the steps you use to setup your project. If you could share a screen recording, that would help.

Can you also try clearing your pub cache and try running the commands again to see if you still face this issue? You can clear your pub cache by running flutter pub cache clean.

PS: You will need to re-run flutter pub get for all your flutter projects.

Hi Daniel, I finally cracked it, it was a bit of a sledge hammer solution, I went to the C:\Users\purple\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache and deleted the cache folder. After that it was oo-jah-com-spif. Everythings is fine now after a flutter pub get
