Flutter: packages not added into flutter SDK

Question

We are working on Flutter v1.7.8+hotfix.4, using VS Code added a new package called english_words. the package is updated with all required files in the app but SDK, not updated flutter/packages, here we are unable to see the package folder.

Due to the above issues getting an error from main.dart file

Target of URI doesn't exist 'package:english_words/english_words.dart'.

pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter
  english_words: ^3.1.5

• run flutter packages get got response exit code 0
• run flutter pub get or pub get no error.
• reload/rebuild the app using flutter run but packages not updated.
• pubspec.yaml, pubspec.lock, .packages updated fine.
• tried from VS Code Tool click get Packages not solved.

Answer 1

Check if you have this in your pubsec.yaml file

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  english_words: ^3.1.5

In you code there is dev_dependencies. Replace this dependency
