I’m new to IDX and Flutter and wanted to learn by creating a simple app. I created a protobuf to represent the data and I can’t seem to compile it and get the generated classes. I tried installing the protobuf package and rebuilt the workspace. I’m running the protoc command in the terminal and get the following message:
protoc-gen-dart: program not found or is not executable
Please specify a program using absolute path or make sure the program is available in your PATH system variable
–dart_out: protoc-gen-dart: Plugin failed with status code 1.
Wondering if anyone has this working and could share the steps?
Thanks for the help. I don’t think it’s the same package so I want to install it using the recommendation. However, I removed the other package and extension manually in the dev.nix file and selected to rebuild the environment. I think my manual edits put the workspace in a broken state. Now I’m stuck on the “Building environment” screen and I don’t see any option how to revert the changes and get back into my project. Is there a way to get back into see my files and update them?
I started a new project to try out the commands suggested. It did not resolve the issue with the protobuf compilation.
It updated the pubspec.yaml to have this
dependencies:
protobuf: ^3.1.0
but when I run the protoc command I still get this error
protoc-gen-dart: program not found or is not executable
Please specify a program using absolute path or make sure the program is available in your PATH system variable
--dart_out: protoc-gen-dart: Plugin failed with status code 1.
