I couldn't pub get a package from gitlab repository that contains two packages

[yukitaka13-1110]

version

Pub 2.11.0-174.0.dev

Steps to Reproduce

I forked a package published to dartpub.
DartPub
GitLab
This package contains twilio_programmable_video and twilio_programmable_video_platform_interface.
twilio_programmable_video depends on twilio_programmable_video_platform_interface in the repository by relative path.
Tree is like this.

packages
    ├ packageA
        └ pubspec.yaml
    └ packageB
        └ pubspec.yaml

I rewrite pubspec.yaml as the following.

dependency_overrides:
  twilio_programmable_video_platform_interface:
    git:
      url: ssh://git@gitlab.com/myname/programmable-video.git
      ref: master
      path: programmable_video_platform_interface
  twilio_programmable_video:
    git:
      url: ssh://git@gitlab.com/myname/programmable-video.git
      ref: master
      path: programmable_video

Then I tried to flutter pub get and failed with the following error.

Error on line 17, column 11: Invalid description in the "twilio_programmable_video" pubspec on the "twilio_programmable_video_platform_interface" dependency: "../programmable_video_platform_interface" is a relative path, but this isn't a local pubspec.
   ╷
17 │     path: ../programmable_video_platform_interface
   │           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   ╵
pub get failed (65;    ╵)

My pubspec.yaml is wrong?
Is there another way to write it correctly?

Expected results:
flutter pub get finish successfully.

Actual results:
An error occurred when flutter pub get.

Logs

$ flutter pub get

[sigurdm]

As the message says, it cannot solve relative paths in non-local pubspecs.

For your twilio_programmable_video fork I would change the pubspec.yaml to use an override instead of a path-dependency:

dependencies:
  programmable_video_platform_interface: any
  ...

dependency_overrides:
  programmable_video_platform_interface:
     path: ../programmable_video_platform_interface

Try if that works!

In other words, your packages stored in git cannot have path dependencies on each other, when consumed.

During development you can work around that with dependency_overrides.

Please reopen if I understood the issue incorrectly.
