After Flutter GIT project checkout, unable to run the project

Question

So I created a Flutter project in IntelliJ Idea Community Edition on machine A and then uploaded the whole project on GitHub. Now I cloned/checked out from GitHub in the same IDE on machine B, performed the following:

• flutter packages get
• flutter upgrade
• Set up the dart path and all other prerequisites

But, I am still unable to run the flutter project from IDE. I mean I can't even press the "Run" button.

Where did I go wrong?

You can try performing the same steps as I did. it if you want. Here's the Git repository code

Edit I can run the same project via terminal.

[Update] As requested by Günter Zöchbauer in the comment log, here's the logs for flutter doctor -v

I posted this question because I'm sure many of us will face the same problem, just like we used to face some issues in AndroidStudio back then

Answer 1

It is an Android Studio issue. The IDE doesn't apply the flutter SDK location for every new project you clone. The workaround is to open the cloned project go to File>Settings(Ctrl+Alt+S). In 'Languages & Frameworks'>Flutter set the SDK path to your Flutter SDK location (e.g. C:\src\flutter). Once you apply the changes and run the 'Packages Get' command the cloned project is fully accessible and understood by Android Studio.
