Update flutter dependencies in /.pub-cache

Question

I erased in my folder .pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/this_plugin

What is the command to update the dependencies inside pubsec.yaml? I believe it is

flutter packages get

The folder under .pub-cache is still not up to date.

Note: there was a pubspec.lock that I deleted

Answer 1

Disclaimer: By running the command below, have a really fast internet connection or be ready to lose one hour of productive hours. ( it will redownload every package every installed on your pc, and I mean each and all of the versions of each packages)~TSR

flutter pub cache repair 

or delete /Users/xxxxxxx/development/tools/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/cloud_firestore-0.8.2+3/ and run flutter packages get again.

if all the above things fail delete the cache folder or also check the version updated in the lock file (some time lock give me the problem with updating the version number)

PS: Why flutter pub cache repair download every package version previously used?

Answer 2

Remove the package from dependencies in pubspec.yaml, run flutter packages get. And then add the package to dependencies again and running flutter packages get.This process has solved the problem for me in the past.
