URL: https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/webdev/versions/2.0.0-alpha.1

My host machine can't run webdev, thought I have installed it:

pub global activate webdev
Package webdev is currently active at version 1.0.1.

This seems like an issue related to webdev or pub command, see:

• https://github.com/dart-lang/webdev/issues
• https://github.com/dart-lang/pub/issues

But assuming you're on windows, you probably just didn't setup your PATH environment variable.

If you found instructions somewhere that doesn't link: https://www.dartlang.org/tools/pub/cmd/pub-global#running-a-script-from-your-path

Maybe file a PR for that to be referenced.

Oh, pub global run <package> usually also works.

Thanks for Jonasfj, this command is working on Window 10

pub global run webdev serve
webdev could not run for this project.
You must have a dependency on build_runner in pubspec.yaml.

pubspec.yaml

dev_dependencies:
build_runner: >=0.8.10 <2.0.0
You must have a dependency on build_web_compilers in pubspec.yaml.

pubspec.yaml

dev_dependencies:
build_web_compilers: >=0.3.6 <2.0.0

Faced similar issues, running flutter pub global run webdev serve seems to work. Thanks @jonasfj for the suggestion

pub.bat global run webdev serve
worked for me under windows 10
