🐛 Can't run flutterfire configure

[arnab]

Bug report

Following the instructions at https://firebase.google.com/docs/flutter/setup, I am trying to install and use flutterfire.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install flutterfire
2. fvm dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
3. Run flutterfire configure

It throws an error:

Can't load Kernel binary: Invalid kernel binary format version.
Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in "/Users/arnab/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/flutterfire_cli-0.2.7".

Expected behavior

Not an error :)

---

Additional context

This has worked for me in the past with other apps. So perhaps a new problem?

1. Notice how the error complains about not finding the file in /Users/arnab/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/flutterfire_cli-0.2.7.
2. However that directory /Users/arnab/.pub-cache/ does not exist. Instead I have /Users/arnab/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org
3. And inside there, I do have flutterfire: ~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/flutterfire_cli-0.2.7.

[arnab]

I reinstalled flutter (with fvm) and then

• fvm flutter pub get
• fvm dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli

... and then flutterfire configure started working again.

I am curious to know what happened though...

@arnab
flutterfire configure related issues need to be reported in dedicated repo: https://github.com/invertase/flutterfire_cli/issues
I see a similar closed issue in it: invertase/flutterfire_cli#8. See if it helps in your case.

Closing from here.

[bastaware]

I fixed it by reinstalling flutterfire_cli:

dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
