Can't run 'Pub get' and can't build flutter project

Question

On Android Studio, I clone this flutter project. When prompted if I want to create a project for the sources downloaded, I click no. Then I click "open existing project", and select the project just downloaded.

Android Studio tells me that "Pub get has not been run". So I click "Get dependencies":

C:\src\flutter\flutter\bin\flutter.bat --no-color pub get
Running "flutter pub get" in dicee-flutter2...                      3,0s
Process finished with exit code 0

After this, the highlighting in the code is corrected, so I guess the project recognizes flutter now. But the "Pub get has not been run" prompt never disappears.

Then I run my project, in order to see it in the virtual device, but I get the following error:

Launching lib\main.dart on Android SDK built for x86 in debug mode...
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...
--output directory is required for assemble.

The output of flutter doctor is:

Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):
[√] Flutter (Channel master, 1.20.0-3.0.pre.78, on Microsoft Windows [versão 10.0.18362.356], locale pt-BR)

How to fix that, so I can see the project on the virtual device and stop getting the "Pub get has not been run" prompt?

Answer 1

There is a setting in AS to set the output directory. From memory it's in the file | project settings menu.

This is possibly a separate issue to the pub get problem.

You can just run flutter pub get from the cli in the projects root directory.
