How to configure DDS and DevTools for special target device

[nguyenlkdn]

When attempting to connect to the VM service URI output by the Flutter engine in the context of a custom embedder, users may encounter the following error:

This VM does not have a registered Dart Development Service (DDS) instance and is not currently serving Dart DevTools.

Platform:

• IMX8QXP
• IMX-WAYLAND

Flutter elinux release 3.13.0

Flutter target devices:

flutter-elinux devices 4 connected devices:

Linux (desktop) • linux • linux-x64 • Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS 5.15.0-101-generic eLinux (desktop) • elinux-wayland • flutter-tester • Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS 5.15.0-101-generic eLinux (desktop) • elinux-x11 • flutter-tester • Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS 5.15.0-101-generic > eLinux (mobile) • gridania-pvt1 • flutter-tester • ion-imx-wayland

Step to Reproduce: 1) flutter-elinux create sample 2) cd sample 3) flutter-elinux pub get 4) flutter-elinux run -d gridania-pvt1 --profile -v

Regarding to your trial on Rpi, i just confused about why did your target board already installed "Dart DevTools" and it will be activated automatically while executing flutter app.

or after "💪 Running with sound null safety 💪"

It is being executed on Host???

[nguyenlkdn]

Practice done already, with below notes:

I need to attach "--debug-url" manually after application started

Target Device:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/share/flutter/3.19.3/profile/lib/ flutter-client --bundle=/usr/share/flutter/ion-hmi/3.19.3/profile/
flutter: The Dart VM service is listening on http://127.0.0.1:38867/LdVG8OhkIx8=/

Host PC:

1. Need to go into the project folder
2. Need to be sure PortForward already started before starting Host Dart Devtool

Ex: in my case is ssh -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -L 127.0.0.1:38867:127.0.0.1:38867 root@192.168.7.1

flutter-elinux attach --debug-url=http://127.0.0.1:38867/LdVG8OhkIx8=/

Practice on Flutter-eLinux release 3.9.13. Thank you!

@HidenoriMatsubayashi I am not sure why did my environment haven't started Devtools automatically as your practiced

I've confirmed that flutter-elinux with a remote-device works fine.

Ya i mean is we able to connect for debugging on target already after we attach debugger manuallly

flutter-elinux attach --debug-url=<Link to VM Service on target board>

I just concerned is why did it is not started automatically on our environment. Maybe it is environment issues, thank for your confirmed.

[HidenoriMatsubayashi]

Please try the followings to break down the issue.

1. Use the latest version of flutter-elinux
2. Use other devices such as Raspberry-Pi4/5

[HidenoriMatsubayashi]

I'll close this issue as there is no additional update/comment.

[HidenoriMatsubayashi]

Re-opening.

Pasting what i had in the other issue

Looked through a bit of the other issues but haven't been able to resolve what I am seeing.

The discovery uri never shows up in the regular log. But if i run with -v

Going to that url I get this.

This VM does not have a registered Dart Development Service (DDS) instance and is not currently serving Dart DevTools.

Other info, I am cross building from x64 to arm64 using custom sdk and yocto.

[WDoughty]

I used that url from the verbose log and did the same process with running the flutter-elinux attach from my development machine and I was able to get dev tools. Not sure why its not running the attachment by itself. Here is the forwardPort for this custom device.

"forwardPort": [
        "ssh", "-o", "ExitOnForwardFailure=yes",
        "-L", "127.0.0.1:${hostPort}:127.0.0.1:{$devicePort}", "ccs@<display IP>"
      ],
"forwardPortSuccessRegex": "Linux"

[HidenoriMatsubayashi]

"-L", "127.0.0.1:${hostPort}:127.0.0.1:{$devicePort}", "ccs@"

Typo: {$devicePort} => Correct one is ${devicePort}

[WDoughty]

Good catch, but that is also how i have it in my custom devices. Working between different devices
