[BUG] user_error: Could not find action, lane or variable flutter_version: method_missing

[marcellodesales]

🐛 Describe the bug

• fastlane fails to get the version using the tutorial in our app...

bundle exec fastlane upload_to_play_store_internal --verbose

• The error is as follows:

from /usr/local/bundle/bin/bundle:23:in `<main>'
/usr/local/bundle/gems/fastlane-2.187.0/fastlane_core/lib/fastlane_core/ui/interface.rb:141:in 
`user_error!': Could not find action, lane or variable 'flutter_version'. Check out the documentation
 for more details: https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions (FastlaneCore::Interface::FastlaneError)
from /usr/local/bundle/gems/fastlane-2.187.0/fastlane_core/lib/fastlane_core/ui/ui.rb:17:in 
`method_missing'

🦺 To Reproduce

1. Installed the gem from Rubygems

gem install fastlane-plugin-flutter_version

• It shows the success message with the latest version

Successfully installed fastlane-plugin-flutter_version-1.1.12
1 gem installed

2. Available fastlane actions DOES NOT list the flutter version as an action

 bundle exec fastlane actions

❓ Questions

• Is there any workaround to this problem? I'm really interested in using your plugin
• Is there any info you need to debug the problem?

Thanks for opening your first issue here!

It seems that the action itself did not error out, or more specifically, the action was not properly installed.

What does your Gemfile look like after installing the package? I wonder if it's been installed to the correct location.

[tianhaoz95]

@marcellodesales friendly ping, is this still reproducible and blocking?
