Dart formatter Keeps running endlessly

See original GitHub issue

Issue Type: Bug

It’s random. At times when you save dart code. Dart formatter starts running and do not stops for several minutes (around 5 minutes minimum). I have to cancel it and save again and same thing happens. Only solution is restart VScode or sometimes restart the PC.

Flutter 2.2.2 has just been released to the stable channel which includes a fix for one of the issues mentioned above (where on macOS the analysis server would stop responding after certain types of files are modified).

Please upgrade to Flutter 2.2.2 and restart all instances of VS Code. If you’re still seeing this issue on Flutter 2.2.2 or later, please do let me know. Thanks!

I don’t know what is causing it, but all I see is “Saving ‘http.dart’: Running ‘Dart’ Formatter (configure)”. and it doesn’t stop. Started with the latest Flutter upgrade. Have to restart vscode everytime and try again, works for one or two saves. Is there anything I can provide to help solve this issue? Serious workflow problem.
