'Flutter SDK not available' when trying to run 'Flutter Intl: Initialize'

[NikolozMiruashvili]

I am able to use all the VsCode and terminal functions normally but when trying to run 'Flutter Intl: Initialize' .

Here is output of flutter doctor -v:

Tried to reproduce this issue on Windows with VS Code 1.78.2 and Flutter Intl 1.19.2, and it seems that everything works fine.

Could you check if reactivating the intl_utils package helps (this might solve some cache issue)?

1. Deactivate package with flutter pub global deactivate intl_utils
2. Run 'Flutter Intl: Initialize' command.

If reactivation of the intl_utils does not help, could you provide us a minimal reproducible sample, VS Code version, Flutter Intl version, so we can easier detect what is the issue.

running flutter pub global deactivate intl_utils gave result 'No active package intl_utils.' and 'Flutter Intl: Initialize' gave same result as before. I have intl version: v1.19.2 and vs code version: 1.78.2. The issue does not seem dependent on the project at all. It persists even when I try to activate it for the default template of flutter application.

I can confirm the same issue using Flutter 3.10.3 with VSCode 1.78.2 and the Flutter Intl 1.19.2 plugin on OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

General info

• Dart 3.0.3 (stable) (Wed May 31 15:35:05 2023 +0000) on "linux_x64"
• on linux / Linux 5.19.0-43-generic #44~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon May 22 13:39:36 UTC 2
• locale is en_AU.UTF-8

Packages: intl 0.18.0 intl_utils 2.8.3

flutter sdk-path /home/user/snap/flutter/common/flutter

Minimal way to reproduce:

Create a new Flutter project in Visual Studio

flutter create testapp
cd testapp
flutter pub add flutter_localizations --sdk=flutter
flutter pub add intl:any

CTRL+SHIFT+P --> Flutter Intl: Initialize

Flutter install, builds, and everything else works fine. Path variables areOK. All other Flutter commands are in the VSCode Command Palette.

I believe I've identified the source of the problem.

The issue seems to be related to the Flutter installation through snapd.

To fix this, I updated the system path:

1. Open the file named .bashrc located in your home directory ($HOME/.bashrc).
2. Append the following line: export PATH="$PATH:[PATH_OF_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY]/bin"
3. Restart VS Code and try to run Flutter Intl: Initialize

Could you please try these steps to see if it resolves your issue?

Thanks for the quick reply @lzoran

I can indeed confirm that adding:

"$HOME/snap/flutter/common/flutter/bin"

To the system path and restarting VSCode has fixed this problem. It's kind of strange that this only affects this plugin and everything else works.

Cheers from down under!

I'm glad to hear that the posted solution was of help!

You're right. I can't recall exactly, but it's likely that the installation documentation was updated at some point, and that I've missed to test the Flutter Intl extension when Flutter was installed using snapd.

I would like to examine if there's a way to solve this issue without system path modifications. So, I suggest keeping this issue open.

That sounds good. Thanks for your help again!

If you need me to test anything feel free to ping me.

for me adding path to .bashrc did not do the trick. What I did to solve the issue: 1) In VS Code go to File-Preferences-Settings. 2) Type "flutter SDK" in search. 3) Under "Dart: Flutter SDK Path" click "Edit in settings.json" 4) Add path to dart.flutterSdkPath like this: "dart.flutterSdkPath": "/home/YourUserNameHere/snap/flutter/common/flutter/bin"

For anyone wondering, I solved this problem with two approach:

1. Add flutter to the global PATH, this solved the issue with Flutter Intl: Initialize

2. if you want to generate the locales manually: Add intl_utils to the pubspec.yaml and run on the terminal: flutter pub run intl_utils:generate

NOTE: I tested on MacOs, Windows and Ubuntu, and it only happens on ubuntu
