File table and dart:io File clash

[albe-jj]

If I have import 'dart:io' as io; in the file where I define the database tables, and a table named @DataClassName("File") then in the database.g.dart file it uses io.File instead of the File dataclass.

Removing the import 'dart:io' as io; from database.dart resolve the issue.

Thanks for the report! Unfortunately it's a bit tricky to know which import was meant because that part of the code is not set up to deal with exports correctly, but at least for dart: vs package: URIs we should be able to prevent this.

I also ran into this issue after upgrading from 2.12.1 to 2.16.0
Is there a way to test the fix or is a 2.17.0 release imminent anyway?

You can use the current development version of the builder until the next release (no ETA yet, sorry):

dependency_overrides:
  drift_dev:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/simolus3/drift.git
      ref: develop
      path: drift_dev

Let me know if that fixes the issue for you.

@simolus3 thanks for the infos! It did't fix my issue, but mine is slightly different so I opened a new issue: #2919
