Getting "Installing Devtools" message forever, and Flutter Inspector doesn't start

See original GitHub issue

Getting “Installing Devtools” message, and Flutter Inspector doesn’t start. The plugin shows: Flutter 51.0.3

I was using an older plugin because of this: https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/issues/4952

Then I upgraded to plugin 51.0.3 and now it just doesn’t work. What should I do?

My flutter doctor -v:

I was having this issue and running File > Invalid Caches / Restart from intellij fixed it for me.

Running DevTools in the Flutter Inspector window is an experiment and can be disabled in settings.
