E:\

What kind of drive is E? There are limitations on cross-drive symbolic links on Windows, but I'm not clear whether it's all drives, or only non-local drives.

SureshKumar311 · 2020-09-20T19:05:35Z

it was local E drive in same hard disk in windows and windows is also install in c drive for same disk

stuartmorgan · 2020-09-20T19:13:36Z

@clarkezone Do you happen to know the exact requirements around symlink support? Is any cross-drive linking forbidden? If so, that'll be an annoying limitation for building projects 😟

SureshKumar311 · 2020-09-20T19:13:50Z

now i change my flutter project to c drive of my system and run and i got this error

C:\flutter-desktop-embedding\testbed> flutter run
Launching lib\main.dart on Windows in debug mode...
Exception: Building with plugins requires symlink support. Please enable Developer Mode in your system
settings.

FileSystemException: Cannot create link, path =

required privilege is not held by the client.
, errno = 1314)

stuartmorgan · 2020-09-20T19:17:43Z

That second error is expected if you haven't enabled developer mode, thus the error message.

clarkezone · 2020-09-22T04:18:19Z

The docs appear to not address this, I can try and find an answer to this.

stuartmorgan · 2020-10-01T02:43:07Z

I was going to fix this while fixing #66973 but I don't actually have a setup with a network volume. @jonahwilliams since you hit this you presumably do; could you take this one?

jonahwilliams · 2020-10-01T03:38:48Z

I do not, I was scrubbing through crash logs and I found it :(

H-MAli · 2023-08-15T11:20:50Z

The reproduction of this problem is actually easier than that. At least it's what I'm experiencing.

Have flutter installed on some NTFS volume.
Create a project on an exFAT volume.
Try to build your project, et voila! You're presented with this error.

I'm not quite sure whether using any specific Flutter package triggers symlinking or not since I encountered this error when moving an existing project to an exFAT volume with lots of packages already in use.

@SureshKumar311 do not need to change the location of your project. With Windows App, run your project in Release Mode or close your IDE and rerun as Administrator. That fixed for me!
