Attach to custom embedder running

[provokateurin]

I'm writing a plugin for a custom embedder and I need the flutter plugin to attach to my running flutter app. I get the observatory URI and all necessary parameters to generate a command line attach (sdkFields.createFlutterSdkAttachCommand: /home/jld3103/flutter/bin/flutter --no-color attach --machine --device-id=flutter-tester --debug-uri=http://127.0.0.1:50300/ lib/main_desktop.dart).
That command works when I run it in the console.
In the plugin I use some code derived from this.
It gives me a dialog saying that no device was found.

So my question is how to attach the flutter plugin from another plugin to a flutter app running a custom embedder?

@devoncarew: any thoughts?

Supporting Why is the device-id flutter-tester? If you can make your device show up like a regular flutter desktop device that might be a better path to integration with the intellij plugin.

Sounds good, but is there a way to do it?

Flutter 2.0 has native desktop support.

This was a feature request for custom embedders and not the official ones. They obviously work, but there is (maybe was didn't check recently) no way to attach to a custom embedder...

We would be happy to review a PR if you find a solution that requires changing the Flutter plugin. Another possibility might be to check (or modify) the flutter_tools project in the Flutter repo.
