Could you provide more details on what program you are running (Android studio?) and what you were doing when you got this error?

In the doctor output it looks like you don't have the Dart and Flutter plugins installed, so that may be causing problems. Did you already follow the instructions for installing the plugins here? https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/editor?tab=androidstudio

[devoncarew]

@helin24 - for the issue w/ the plugins not looking like they're installed; IntelliJ changed where they install plugins, and the flutter cli tool hasn't yet been updated to check this location for 2020.1; https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/57753.

Ah thanks @devoncarew! I'm going to mark this as a bug as @jacob314 suggests we could be handling sentinel issues more gracefully. It may help to have some examples of when this occurs, do we know of any particular situations?
