Dart: Dev Tools command not showing

See original GitHub issue

Dart: Dev Tools is not showing for me in VS Code. I have a flutter app running in debug.

What resources can I share to help track down the issue?

It was indeed a problem with the vs code version, even though vs code should update automatically as far as I know and the option wasn’t disabled.

However now it’s showing Dart: Dev Tools but when I click on it, it tells me Dart DevTools requires an active debug session.. I am running a flutter app in debug mode, and when I’m not, it doesn’t show me Dart: Dev Tools.

Ah, yes - that would do it. Unfortunately the built-in terminal is just a terminal, and doesn’t interact with the extension (we can’t tell that you’re running Flutter, nor attach to it). I’d always recommend running using the built-in debugger/Run menu, that way you’ll get all of the functionality 😃
