Ran Flutter Gallery.
The render object tree shows up but the widget tree view is empty.

@xster, can you provide some version information? For IntelliJ, the Flutter plugin, and the flutter framework? Thanks!
Ah, reproduced it again:
plugin: 29.0.4,
flutter: v0.9.7-pre.64
Ran the gallery, clicked into something with the widget inspector and came back blank.
ah, perhaps a slight bit of useful information. If I open flutter/examples/flutter_gallery in intellij, then the widget inspector works. If I open flutter/, then the empty panel issue appears.
This was a bug with --track-widget-creation that has been fixed.
Please, I am experiencing this error with the following setup on Android Studio:
Plugin: v38.1.1
Flutter (Channel stable, v1.7.8+hotfix.4, on Mac OS X 10.14.6 18G84, locale
en-GB)
I noticed that this usually happens when I click on the Refresh Widget Info button
I experience the same issue with Android Studio on macOS. Widget Inspector is either empty from the start or becomes empty when I switch between Widgets/Render tree/Performance. This essentially makes view debugging impossible!
I am also still experiencing this issue. flutter doctor returns no error and I am on the latest version of flutter and of the flutter plugin in Android Studio
