Dart DevTools exited with code 255 in brand new flutter installation
See original GitHub issueI am seeing this error message when trying to open DevTools from Visual Studio Code:
I tried running flutter pub global activate devtools but this didn’t fix the issue.
I also tried running flutter pub global run devtools, but then I see this other error:
pub finished with exit code 65
I am not sure which other information is needed, so please let me know in case I need to provide anything else

Running
pub global activate devtoolswithoutflutterin the beginning fixed the issue for me. Thank you very much for the help! 😃The issue was introduced with a DevTools update that just happened to go out around the same time as the Flutter update. VS Code will have auto-updated your DevTools to the latest one and then hit this issue.
Installing Google Chrome is the only workaround I know of until the DevTools fix is available in a release.
