issue using --dart-define in run configurations with a value that has a space

Steps to Reproduce

• Create a flutter app, the template counter app will do
• Create a run configuration and add the following to the “additional arguments”

--dart-define='SOMETHING=cool: thing'

• Run the app using the configuration
• Instead of setting the value in the ENV for SOMETHING='cool: thing' the run configuration fails with an error like this:

Target file "thing'" not found.

Note: this works just fine via the flutter command line

flutter run --dart-define='SOMETHING=cool: thing' -t lib/main.dart

And the value is available in the ENV as expected.

If you remove the empty space character between cool: and thing then it works just fine. Is there some escaping approach for this in Android Studio? Is this an issue with the plugin or Android Studio itself?

Still doesn’t work:

flutter/bin/flutter build ios --no-codesign --dart-define='DEF_APP_NAME=anything with spaces'
Target file "with" not found.

Flutter 2.0.4 Dart 2.12.2

Yup, we almost always release based on calendar month - it makes planning simple and is predictable for users (modulo the end of the year - we generally don’t ship a Dec. release).

You can also see the est. ship date via our milestones in this repo.
