Improve multi-Module support #1904

Open pq opened 6 years ago

pq commented 6 years ago

As mentioned by @matejthetree in #1889, setting up projects with multiple modules currently requires some heroics. For example, see https://github.com/apptreesoftware/letsvote#intellj-multi-module-setup which has these directions.

IntellJ multi-module setup It is convenient to have a single project that contains each sub-project as a module.

open project settings (cmd+;) open "Modules" page remove the exisiting module click "+" and select letsvote_mobile.iml file click "+" and select letsvote_web.iml file click "+" and select letsvote_server.iml file After Step 3 Intellij will need the Flutter SDK to be set again. Go to Preferences (cmd+,) and re-select your flutter SDK path

We should make this better...

The 'stackoverflow community' don't seem to understand what I'm asking and put my question on hold: Add 'Modules' to a Flutter Project in Android Studio [on hold]

However, I found this issue posted a year ago, today. Please, I can't make heads or tails of it. Has this been resolved? If it has, I still can't figure out how to allow for 'multiple modules' in a Flutter project.

Regards,

Greg

This actually just came up in #3257 as well.

The short story is that it's still a very manual process. As @matejthetree describes, you need to manually add each module to the project's settings.

In a more ideal world, this could happen as part of project import.

Other than this issue, I would report that when multi module support is active, there are some strange behaviours with the VCS plugin (I'm using git).

Some of the problems reported are:

Changes are showed as file but not in line (colors at the left of the writing panel)
Files with changes, after changing tab, disappears from changes list

These issues go away after a VCS -> Refresh file status, but it is far from optimal.

I also find that syntax highlighting, autocomplete and dartfmt doesn’t always work with muti module project, and generally I see a lot of issues whenever I try to use them.

Here is a video of what I have been trying to fix for about 2 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGkT4_qZ5Yo
