Go-flutter: hover not finding my flutter install.

[kenthinson]

Hello. I have been using hover for a few days to make a app without issue. Today I started up my computer and I see this

hover: Failed to lookup 'flutter' executable. Please install flutter.

flutter is installed and in my path

flutter doctor -v

Please advise thanks.

Your shell binary path might be not linked to your system path.
Are you sure flutter is in your path?

I guess you can try to craft a small golang binary which calls the flutter command. Then you will have to look at the error value

[kenthinson]

Figured out that if I change shell I can get it to work. Closing thanks.

I face the same situation now: Flutter in my PATH, but when I run the cmd [hover run], it will remind me I need to install flutter... why hover cannot find my flutter? I want to now the reason.

It's strange. I wrote a simple golang program that import "os/exec" and execute "env" and "flutter create xxx". The "env" command output the PATH variable (include flutter path!), but the "flutter create xxx" command still failed with "flutter not installed".
Please teach me how to link my shell binary path to system path. @pchampio

[ShiinaOrez]

figure it out.
Just link flutter to /usr/local/bin by sudo ln -s YOUR-FLUTTER-PATH/flutter/bin/flutter /usr/local/bin

If you're on ubuntu after downloaded go into you /home folder, export on your path:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc and paste like

export PATH="/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH"

export PATH="/home/your-name/go/bin/:$PATH"
