New projects are being created incomplete

So, here’s what happens when I create a new project with this wizard:

I get this:

and this notification:

So here are the issues so far:

1. Why do I have to configure the Android Framework after the project was created? Shouldn’t this be automatic or questioned at the Wizard?

2. Why there’s no Dart framework detected and I have to dig into the Flutter SDK files to find it?

3. Just take a look at the Flutter logo on the Root of the project, as soon as I configure the Android Framework, it’s gone (to be seen soon).

So, lets continue then.

I will add the Dart SDK, this is what I have now:

This is what I get after searching inside the Flutter SDK folders for a while:

Which is curious, because it says I am using Dart version 2.2.0, but flutter --version says I am using Dart 2.1.2, so I guess I have no clue where to find the actual Dart SDK then.

Then I click to add the Android Framework that was automatically detected and this pops up:

And now the Flutter logo on the Root on my project is gone! Why?

This is my module settings with the Android Framework configured:

All looks good…But, this is the project configuration:

Which shows no SDK for the project.

(one time I had this out folder vanish in another project and I had to add it again to the project’s configuration).

So, if I start an Android Emulator and try to run it like this, I get this error:

Launching lib\main.dart on Android SDK built for x86 64 in debug mode… Initializing gradle… CreateProcessW failed 193 Finished with error: ProcessException: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Command: C:\Users\Michel Feinstein\Desktop\newProjectTest\new_project_test\android\gradlew.bat -v

Which I had to google to find out that this is what you get when there’s a space in your project’s path (maybe add a hint when this error occurs, like hey do you have an space on your path? or warn users when there’s a space in their path, or just make it work with spaces?).

And then it compiles, installs and works.

So, this is my experience when I create a new Flutter project in IntelliJ IDEA, I think there’s a lot of room for improvement.

This is my flutter doctor -v:

Let me know if you need more information to fix this.

I do ignore it indeed and don’t mind otherwise, but it is one of the small quirks that should be fixed, especially because it can lead users to wasting a lot of time investigating / trying to fix what looks to be an important issue.

I will try this another day and let you know.
