path version conflict

[passsy]

dartx: 0.4.0 is incompatible with Flutter 1.17 because of path.

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  dartx: ^0.4.0

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter

$ flutter packages get
Because every version of flutter_test from sdk depends on path 1.6.4 and dartx 0.4.0 depends on path ^1.7.0, flutter_test from sdk is incompatible with dartx 0.4.0.
And because no versions of dartx match >0.4.0 <0.5.0, flutter_test from sdk is incompatible with dartx ^0.4.0.
So, because spitch depends on both dartx ^0.4.0 and flutter_test any from sdk, version solving failed.

The version range can't be expanded to include earlier versions of path because dartx depends on the new extension(String path, [int level]) method added to path: 1.7.0.

Workaround 1

For most users it should be fine to override the path dependency:

dependency_overrides:
  path: ^1.7.0

Some methods of the dartx_io libraries won't work but the rest does flawless.

Workaround 2

Upgrade to Flutter 1.18

Flutter already upgraded to path: 1.7.0. Every version after 1.18.0-6.0.pre works. I.e. dev channel which is currently at 1.18.0-8.0.pre.

Yep, I'm affected by this. Wouldn't it make more sense to create regular versions for stable, and -dev or -beta versions for those who use Flutter Dev or Beta? It's kind of weird to force users into using builds not marked as stable.

Flutter 1.18 is the one that is being promoted to stable soon? I think it's the 1.17 right?

If it's the 1.17 the workaround 2 will not be possible for quite some time (until the next release I believe).

Flutter 1.17 is the next stable version

dartx: ^0.4.1 is now compatible with Flutter 1.17 (stable)
