Flutter - Flutter Version Management (fvm) package not working in windows

Question

I just added the the fvm package to switch the flutter channel from stable to master without downloading sdk components every time when switching flutter channels.

I have followed the step written in readme.md for switching the channel.

I have set the following path in my environment variables.

D:\Program_Files\FlutterSDK\SDK\flutter\bin;
D:\Program_Files\FlutterSDK\SDK\dart-sdk\bin;
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Pub\Cache\bin;

Now, i have opened my first project in which i want to use "flutter SDK's master channel". But, whenever i try to use the command "fvm use master". It's not working.

It is giving me an error like, 'fvm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

So, can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks.

Solution 1

try :

pub global run fvm:main

pub global run fvm:main use VERSION

Solution 2

Hi adding in your path:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Pub\Cache\bin

Hope you activated the package, using pub global activate fvm

Yes i did it already.

Here are the options I would try. 1. If you are in windows 10 you can try refreshenv. 2. If you are using android studio closing the terminal and restarting by invalidating and clearing the cache could help. 3. Also you can try running like pub global list to make sure it contains fvm.

Maybe silly but make sure C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Pub\Cache\bin; user in this path refers to your username. :)

Why fvm command not work in VSCode, but work in the terminal application?

Vscode terminal has probably not refreshed. You do source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.zshrc to refresh
