Flutter project no longer building for windows

Not sure what's caused it but for some reason my windows application no longer builds.

The error output is the following:

[  +60 ms] C:\Users\George\source\repos\ReactionTracking\src\ReactionTrackerClient\windows\runner\Runner.rc(125): error RC2135: file not found: + [C:\Users\George\source\repos\ReactionTracking\src\ReactionTrackerClient\build\windows\runner\reactions.vcxproj]
[   +1 ms] C:\Users\George\source\repos\ReactionTracking\src\ReactionTrackerClient\windows\runner\Runner.rc(129): error RC2135: file not found: + [C:\Users\George\source\repos\ReactionTracking\src\ReactionTrackerClient\build\windows\runner\reactions.vcxproj]

When I ctrl + click the path directly in VS Code terminal it opens the file fine, so I know the path is valid and the file exists.

Did some research and the closest to my issue I could find was an issue with spaces and special characters in the path, which I have removed as above.

I have deleted the pubspec.lock, tried moving the project into a different folder, running the build command in a terminal running as admin. It was working fine until recently. Wondering if anyone has had any similar issues recently and what they did to fix it?

EDIT

Here is my flutter doctor -v output

Solved by:

  • Removing windows folder.
  • Recreate it using flutter create . Repairs and adds the missing files.

If anyone stumbles onto this with the same issue. Still don't know the cause but removing and re-adding windows as a platform sorted it out.
