No active package dartdoc Flutter

Question

I am trying to generated the documentation of my flutter app and the dartdoc command is not working as expected.

I have tried :

flutter pub global deactivate dartdoc 
flutter pub global activate dartdoc 

The output is :

Installed executable dartdoc.
Warning: Executable "dartdoc" runs "bin/dartdoc.dart", which was not found in dartdoc.
Warning: Pub installs executables into $HOME/Desktop/flutter/.pub-cache/bin, which is not on your path.
You can fix that by adding this to your shell's config file (.bashrc, .bash_profile, etc.):

  export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/Desktop/flutter/.pub-cache/bin"

Activated dartdoc 4.1.0.

I have also added to my PATH the export suggested.

Now when i run the dartdoc command in my flutter app root directory , here is the output :

No active package dartdoc.

I have also tried to do a flutter pub cache repair but it didn't help.

What else can i do to make it work please ?

Note : It was working before i upgrade to flutter 2.8

I also experienced this problem. In my case, I managed to solve it running:

dart pub global activate dartdoc

Instead of:

flutter pub global activate dartdoc
