Empty project folder after creating new Flutter "module" in IntelliJ

See original GitHub issue

From @rxlabz on May 11, 2017 10:29

Nothing happens when I create a new Flutter “module” inside a Intellij existing project. Creating new Flutter project works fine, but File/New/Module => Flutter create a folder with the .iml file alone.

Creating other type of Dart “modules” works fine.

@rxlabz, not sure if this is helpful for what you need, but the following workaround seems to work:

Right-click Project view > Open Module Settings
Click + > New Module
Pick Flutter + enter properties as usual

Creating multiple modules should work right in the next release.

Creating a Flutter module automatically creates an “Android” module to go along with it, but it will have a better name that should show the relationship.
