Building API Dash on Ubuntu Fails #385

Closed AcousticDeveloper closed 2 months ago

AcousticDeveloper commented 2 months ago

Describe the bug/problem Trying to build apidash on a fresh install of Ubuntu fails.

Screenshot 2024-04-27 093128

This issue does not seem to be with my local flutter installation or any other components because a new flutter application runs without any error.

The issue can be due to mdk-sdk which has a build failure to the current master branch (though mentions in the commit that it is not released) which comes from fvp where version 0.16.0 mentions for preparing ffmpeg 7.0 (but currently listed version in pubspec.yaml is ^0.14.0), so that might be a reason for this issue.

I think the issue is due to mdk-sdk because flutter run downloads the nightly build of the software.

Running flutter run with -v flag outputs the following (please note this is not the complete output, rather the part where the build fails)

For testing purposes, I've tried to manually install ffmpeg using sudo snap install ffmpeg which installs version 4.3.1, but still the error remained.

Steps to Reproduce the bug/problem

  1. Install a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL2 on Windows 11.
  2. Install flutter using snap by running the following command sudo snap install flutter --classic.
  3. Setup SSH key for git with Ubuntu.
  4. Fork and clone apidash.
  5. Install linux compilation tools as mentioned in the documentation.
  6. Run flutter create --platforms=linux . to setup flutter for linux.
  7. Run flutter run.

Expected behavior It should build successfully, and a new window with apidash shall open.

I am able to solve this issue, seems like the version 0.14.0 of fvp was causing the problem. Bumping up the version to 0.17.0 using flutter pub upgrade --major-versions fvp resolved the issue.

After that, flutter run works perfectly fine.
