Stale VERSION file inside the SDK shipped with Flutter

[DanTup]

Dart Code displays the contents of the VERSION file in the Dart SDK in the status bar. Sometime recently (possibly when Flutter switched to making its own SDK builds) it seems that this file became stale:

Dannys-MacBook:~ danny$ flutter --version
Flutter 0.1.6-pre.3 • channel master • https://github.com/DanTup/flutter.git
Framework • revision 7f03b9e41b (2 weeks ago) • 2018-02-23 12:49:57 -0800
Engine • revision ead227f118
Tools • Dart 2.0.0-dev.28.0.flutter-0b4f01f759
Dannys-MacBook:~ danny$ cat /Users/danny/Dev/Google/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/version
2.0.0-edge.0d5cf900b021bf5c9fa593ffa12b15bcd1cc5fe0

The Dart SDK revision is 0b4f01f759 (confirmed by running dart --version) so not sure why the file is bad.

Dart Code uses this files because it's faster (and less troublesome) than spawning a process.

https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/45921 with the potential fix.

These are different because https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/master/tools/make_version.py has different logic from https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/master/tools/write_version_file.py.

We should probably eliminate https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/master/tools/write_version_file.py, and instead use https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/master/tools/make_version.py to write the version file to make sure that they both say the same thing.

What's the status of this issue?

[DanTup]

Still an issue. This is latest master:

Dannys-MacBook:flutter danny$ flutter --version
Flutter 0.5.3-pre.18 • channel master • https://github.com/DanTup/flutter.git
Framework • revision 326caa5d22 (15 minutes ago) • 2018-06-09 03:39:27 -0400
Engine • revision 5d2f24aa5c
Tools • Dart 2.0.0-dev.60.0.flutter-a5e41681e5

Dannys-MacBook:flutter danny$ cat bin/cache/dart-sdk/version 
2.0.0-edge.c080951d45e79cd25df98036c4be835b284a269c

a5e41681e5 is the correct version, which is from 4 days ago.
c080951d45 is wrong, it's a commit from March.
