[BUG] `flutter` still not same with `fvm flutter` (fvm 3.0.0)

[husainazkas]

Describe the bug I've read your release changelog for this version which at first point it says fvm will automatically configure VSCode to use the correct Flutter SDK version. So I just need to type flutter instead of fvm flutter. The problem is it's not like you describe.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open terminal and make sure you have at least 2 versions (this case uses stable and 3.13.9)
2. Set global version to stable (just to make sure)
3. Go to project directory which need to use 3.13.9 and run fvm use 3.13.9
4. Restart/reopen terminal on project directory
5. Run flutter --version, you will see Flutter SDK version from global
6. Run fvm flutter --version, you will see Flutter SDK version from current project

Expected behavior As you describe in changelog, I hope whatever version I use in different project will use correct SDK version, except has not configured with specific version

- FVM Version 3.0.0

[leoafarias]

@husainazkas, after you use the version the terminal should indicate that the PATH has changed. Like this video. Can you review and make sure that this is happening? https://github.com/leoafarias/fvm/assets/435833/d284b8f8-2bff-404e-bde6-34c8c7b7fc3c

[husainazkas]

Sorry there is a missing step on reproduce. Actually I always make myself to very clearly sure that any changes affected by reopen terminal & vscode directly, ofcourse when vscode reopened it will continue last terminal then I always kill & open new terminal. But no luck, it still read global version because of PATH on my .zshrc referred to ~/fvm/default/bin/flutter.

[husainazkas]

And also if you look at my fvm doctor you can see the flutter version and dart version is not match, I know I have to make another github issue but I'll do it later

[leoafarias]

@husainazkas interesting, there is a settings flag called addSdkToTerminalPath. Can you also confirm that this is set to true?

[husainazkas]

ofcourse it's set to true

[husainazkas]

any updates? @leoafarias

[leoafarias]

I was not able to replicate.

Can you do "which flutter" on the vscode terminal and send the output here?

[husainazkas]

I think I found possibility reason why this bug happened.

Previously, I have set below env to my .zshrc:

export PATH=$HOME/fvm/default/bin:$PATH

It means global version has been set on user-level env. So If I open vscode that use different flutter version and call flutter instead of fvm flutter it will refer to my .zshrc config and show wrong version, not as described in 3.0.0 release note.

But if that flutter global version is not set on .zshrc, I can call flutter in a flutter project with correct version sdk.

Ofcouse I cannot call flutter outside flutter project because zsh will not know that command. To fix this we can set aliases through .zshrc like this:

alias flutter="fvm flutter"
alias dart="fvm dart"

My analysis still not fix whole problem, it leaves one more problem. The problem is vscode extension still have weird env config (Idk why) when you call command palette Run flutter doctor, the output will have warning flutter path like this:

[husainazkas]

I was not able to replicate.

Can you do "which flutter" on the vscode terminal and send the output here?

After my fix above, it has succeed show correct output (not sure but at least correct version):

> which flutter
/Users/husainazkas/fvm/versions/3.13.9/bin//flutter

[leoafarias]

I would suggest against doing this. This is a bit weird as I believe dart code extension adds priority over the PATH. But will confirm.

One last questions do you have the env FLUTTER_ROOT configured anywhere?

[husainazkas]

nope

[wongcheehong]

I have encounter this issue also with FVM 3.1.4. Interestingly, I am able to setup one project without problem, but the second project I setup got this issue.

I got it fix by reinstall the VS Code's Flutter & Dart extension

[masreplay]

• Remove the old flutter version from the development folder or remove it with brew uninstall flutter
• Add to your RC file

  nano ~/.zshrc

Remove all flutter variables then add this (export all flutter versions to the path)

# FLUTTER
for dir in $HOME/fvm/versions/*; do
  if [ -d "$dir" ]; then
    export PATH="$dir/bin:$PATH"
  fi
done

export PATH="$HOME/fvm/default/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="$HOME/.pub-cache/bin:$PATH"

alias flutter="fvm flutter"
alias dart="fvm dart"

Kill the terminal, and Vscode then open them again

[JaviGaiax]

Same issue here. Sometimes I just simply change SDKs to another one or change to another project and then for no reason flutter doctor and fvm flutter doctor will stop giving the same output.

[leoafarias]

The vscode integration needs to happen within the vscode terminal for the behavior to be correct.

When running a project-configured flutter sdk outside of vscode, you still have to proxy or create an alias that points to the project symlink.

[JaviGaiax]

I'm doing everything through the vscode terminal and fvm though so no weird actions on my part there. edit: Did a whole flutter and fvm clean install and the problem persists.

[Peetee06]

I faced the same issue. I added fvm to the beginning of PATH like this export PATH=$HOME/fvm/default/bin:$PATH in my .zshrc. Changed it to be appended to the end like this: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/fvm/default/bin. And then it worked. I also needed to set "dart.addSdkToTerminalPath": true
