web: Question (or possible bug) about duplicated assets prefix on audio_cache.dart

Shouldn't this line be just:

return Uri.parse('$prefix$fileName');

Thanks.

good question, but I don't think so. I agree with you this will outcome to assets/assets/... but that is required on web for some reason. see how it makes the request on web:

I don't know why, but if you do a single "assets" it fails. basically all the flutter files are inside the first "assets" folder, all the compiled js, etc, in the same structure as the src code. which means there is an "assets" folder inside that, and that is where you assets are. for your understanding, the main.dart file would be found at assets/lib/main.js or something. so you can see where two assets come from. it is, indeed very weird but it's how flutter web works.

great question though!

All the source code of a flutter app is in a folder called assets which is not the same as the assets directory of the developer resources themselves. So they are by design nested.
See: https://github.com/flutter/engine/blob/2d39e672c95efc6c539d9b48b2cccc65df290cc4/lib/web_ui/lib/ui_web/src/ui_web/asset_manager.dart#L80C42-L80C42
