Troubleshooting

Command Not Working on Windows

If you encounter issues running the rename command directly in Windows, especially from a non-administrator terminal, you might need to use an alternative command format. This issue can arise due to permission restrictions or path variable misconfigurations.

Try executing the command using one of the following formats:

  • Using Flutter:
    flutter pub run rename <command> [arguments]
  • Using Dart:
    dart run rename <command> [arguments]

These alternative commands explicitly invoke the rename tool through the Dart or Flutter toolchain, which can bypass some of the path or permission issues encountered in certain Windows configurations.
