New Flutter project templates shouldn't reference dependencies that aren't in the standard Flutter package

[strangedreamsNY]

The latest Flutter Project template in Android Studio contains a dependency reference to flutter_lint which isn't included as a part of the standard Flutter Installation. This can cause issues when attempting to start a new project while not connected to the internet since Android Studio doesn't support pub get in 'offline' mode and running flutter pub get --offline in Chipmunk builds isn't picked up by the IDE. This leaves you unable to use code inspection, build runners, or other dart lang features needed to work on your project. It would be helpful in the future to not include references to libraries or packages that aren't a part of the standard Flutter environment.

/fyi @devoncarew.

My thinking is, in general, we've converged on including lint references in project creation which does sort of require a pub get call. Is that right?

[devoncarew]

Yup, projects from both dart create and flutter create will require a pub get after initial creation. If working offline you could still create the projects, but would need to manually run a dart pub get --offline in order to finish setting them up.

Awesome. Thanks for confirming!

I get that this may not be ideal @strangedreamsNY but as it's WAI, I'll close this out.

After almost 3 years of no activity, I think it's safe to say this is pretty much what I expected. I still think it's a mistake and it, along with other unaddressed issues gives me pause for concern about the nature of Flutter's developer relations. I think I'm just used to other languages and platforms that don't require you to download additional packages and libraries just to compile a barebones project and this caught me by surprise with Flutter. But, if that's how you guys think it should work, well, c'est la vie!

I hear you. Sorry for the disappointment. Please bump any other unaddressed issues and we'll do our best to take a look!
