How to use flutter_distributor with fvm package? about flutter_distributor

[cybrox]

I have not personally worked with FVM, but if I understand this correctly, the issue is that flutter_distributor attempts to run multiple commands using the flutter command but this does not work on your system, since FVM does not register it but you instead use fvm flutter ... in everyday use, right?

Currently, I don't think flutter_distributor offers a way to change the command it is using. A few possible solutions that come to mind are:

1. FVM - like most other version management systems - most likely installs the different versions of Flutter it uses in a cache directory. Get the path to the flutter version you want to use and add it to your path temporarily in the shell you're working (e.g. set PATH=%PATH%;C:\path\to\chachedir\flutter-3.0\bin)
2. You might be able to use Powershell aliases on Windows to alias flutter to fvm flutter ... but I'm afraid I don't know much about powershell.

Ideally, we'd add a possiblity to change the main Flutter command to flutter_distributor but these are some workarounds you could explore in the meantime.

Yes, that is correct.

I will try your recommended workarounds, thanks for the quick response!

Please see this commit 8b8acf0 , Will be able to specify flutter version for any job. By the way, even the required variable for publisher can be defined into the job.

output: dist/

  FLUTTER_ROOT: ~/fvm/versions/3.10.0
releases:
  - variables:
      FLUTTER_ROOT: ~/fvm/versions/3.10.1
    name: dev-release
    jobs:
