@jonahwilliams any idea what is going on here? AFAICT we do pass the arguments to pub:

  Future<FlutterCommandResult> runCommand() async {
    await pub(<String>[_commandName]..addAll(argResults.rest), context: PubContext.pubForward, retry: false);
    return null;
  }

@MaikuB try flutter pub pub publish --dry-run

Can confirm @viztushar's solution works. Until this is fixed, Developing packages & plugins
page should be updated.

@viztushar Thanks. I've already been using the "old" command flutter packages pub publish --dry-run. This issue was created more to track that what's in the updated documentation doesn't work so the tooling can be updated and potentially have docs can be updated too

[mit-mit]

@jonahwilliams another repro for this (which doesn't risk running a publish command):

(works): flutter pub pub deps --style list
(doesn't work): flutter pub deps --style list

I'm puzzled by this. I suspect the PackagesPassthroughCommand has some way of telling the args parser not to error on unknown args, but I don't see it in the code.

flutter pub publish did not work too

solved using
flutter pub pub publish

[MaikuB]

@everton-e26 hmm interesting, flutter pub publish works for me. it's just the dry-run option that doesn't. i'm on the stable channel (v1.5.4-hotfix.2). i assume you're on the same version?

For me, both with and without --dry-run requires both pub pub
