Dart analyser need to be manually run too often

each time I’m running flutter pub pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs (or whatch equivalent) the IDE doesn’t get what as been updated so I need to manually run the dart analyzer for the changes to be taken into consideration. Same when I flutter packages get I need to run the dart analyzer for the changes to be in the IDE.

Would be nice to run dart analyzer automatically on package get (or having a checkbox on settings to enable that). For the build_runner I don’t have any solution except implementing #3137 that will allow the IDE to run dart analyzer when needed.

Are those the files that require you to manually run analysis?

Yes that why I mention it because I think the problem might be here. Excluded in the sens that they are under my .gitignore as I don’t want then in versioning control. I tried to remove them from it but no more luck…

But I think I found the problem ! On my analysis_options I have this:

exclude:
    - 'bin/**'
    - 'lib/l10n/messages/**'
    - 'lib/**/*.*.dart'

Meaning that I don’t want to have lint for generated file as they don’t follow my conventions. But by doing that the analysis server is totally ignoring my changes ! I tried to remove the exclude rules and then it works ! So not sure if it’s a problem on the plugin or on the analysis server 😕 but at least we know the reasons ^^

Glad you tracked down the problem.

@bwilkerson Is there a way for generated files to be treated differently from source files by the analyzer? It sounds like he wants the files to be analyzed but not to have any problems listed in the problems view.
