Flutter-intellij: Setting Flutter SDK path for default project does not set properly

[marcusljx]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open IntelliJ IDE (with Flutter + Dart plugins already installed)
2. Close all existing projects (ie. you should only see IntelliJ project management window, with Create New Project, etc.)
3. Click Configure > Settings > Languages & Frameworks > Flutter
4. Input/Browse for the Flutter SDK Path
5. Click Apply or OK

Expected

Path should remain in Flutter SDK path text box

Actual

Path disappears from Flutter SDK path text box

Repro'ed on that mac. Thanks for the report!

If you decide not to show the Flutter page for the template project at all, adding nonDefaultProject="true" to the plugin.xml will do the trick.

Thanks @alexander-doroshko . I think that's exactly right.

I agree that we don't need this setting. The combo box for Flutter SDK will soon default to the most recent one you used (fixed in #1006, not released yet).

Same issue with me. Installed Flutter and IntelliJ IDEA Version 2017.2.2 on Windows 7 64-Bit, today. Installed the Flutter and Dart plugins. However, Flutter is not listed under Languages and Frameworks, nor is Dart. Unable to specify the Flutter SDK path as advised in the Flutter guidelines. Any help would be appreciated.

nor is Dart

That seems like the underlying issue - without that the Flutter plugin can't run. I would open the Plugins preference, and see if there's any issue listed with the Dart plugin. You could also check the IntelliJ log file (available from the help menu) for issues.

Hi Devon,

Both Flutter and Dart plugins are installed.

Log says this:

[ 1243] INFO - llij.ide.plugins.PluginManager - Loaded custom plugins:
Dart (172.3757.55), Flutter (16.0)
2017-08-17 23:12:01,128

No visible error for the Flutter/Dart plugin. Restarts didn't help.

I'm experiencing this issue as well. WebStorm 2017.2 is failing to store the Flutter SDK Path and therefore creating a new Flutter project simply fails miserably (by creating the selected directory, but doing nothing else). Any word on a fix?

[devoncarew]

@rmirabelle, I think this is the same issues as https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/issues/1384, which we're looking at now.

In the meantime, you can create the project from the command line (flutter create) and open it in WebStorm, or use something like IntelliJ Community Edition. Thanks!

Is there any fix to this yet? I'm having a similar issue: Whenever I pull a flutter-project from git Android Studio tells me that my "Dart SDK is not configured". Then I have to go to my preferences and reset the Flutter SDK Path. But for some time now , after pressing "apply", the path just disappears and i can't go on.
Any help would be really appreciated! This is on Mac, of course, on Windows it works just fine.

Having the same issue on Mac, trying to clone a repo with a Flutter project created on a Windows machine

[suyxx]

open local.properties in android folder and see if it is locating right sdk or not

[mrinvicto]

The issue is pretty common. Please refer to LINK to solve this issue.

Hi, this not helpful to me as I am on Windows and I am using Android Studio, could you please give an explanation for my needs?

[yulkin2002]

File -> Invalidate caches and restart fixed it for me
