Easy_localization: Error importing package flutter_localizations.

[AmmarHazem]

I've been stuck on this issue for several days now after running flutter upgrade I get an error when importing the package flutter_localizations.

Steps to reproduce.

• Create a new flutter project
• Add easy_localizations to pubspec dependencies.
• Try to import flutter_locaizations.

I've tried to run flutter upgrade, flutter packages get, flutter packages pub cache repair and restarting vs code but it did not solve the problem.

flutter doctor -v output

Thanks in advance.

@AmmarHazem could you share the error message or provide an example project?

[AmmarHazem]

Yes, Here is the error message
Target of URI doesn't exist: 'package:flutter_localizations/flutter_localizations.dart'. Try creating the file referenced by the URI, or Try using a URI for a file that does exist.dart(uri_does_not_exist)

@AmmarHazem This doesn't seem specific to this package. Does flutter packages get succeed ? or it reports any error. Maybe sharing your pubspec.yaml could help.

The output from flutter packages get

@AmmarHazem i don't see an issue right now. Maybe you can also try flutter clean see if that helps, or provide an example project to reproduce the issue.

[spiritinlife]

@AmmarHazem I just noticed it, you need to include flutter_localizations in your pubspec.yaml.
Add this in your dependencies
flutter_localizations:
sdk: flutter

Take a look here for more information https://flutter.dev/docs/development/accessibility-and-localization/internationalization

@spiritinlife Thank you. This solved the problem but shouldn't this be mentioned in the readme of the package ?

[spiritinlife]

@AmmarHazem I am not sure why this package should mention it. It is only relevant if you use

GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,

But maybe a better explanation of this or a proper translation setup should be done moving forward.
@aissat What u think on this ? should we mention it in the docs?

on this ? should we mention it in the docs?

@spiritinlife yep
