Flutter json_serializable 5.0.0 is not working along with auto_route

Question

I'm getting below error after upgrading the json_serializable lib from 4.1.4 to 5.0.0

can anyone please explain what is wrong with the versions I'm using?

Because no versions of auto_route_generator match >2.1.0 <3.0.0 and auto_route_generator 2.1.0 depends on analyzer >=0.40.0 <2.0.0, auto_route_generator ^2.1.0 requires analyzer >=0.40.0 <2.0.0. And because json_serializable >=5.0.0 depends on analyzer ^2.0.0, auto_route_generator ^2.1.0 is incompatible with json_serializable >=5.0.0. So, because carer_connect depends on both json_serializable ^5.0.0 and auto_route_generator ^2.1.0, version solving failed. pub get failed (1; So, because carer_connect depends on both json_serializable ^5.0.0 and auto_route_generator ^2.1.0, version solving failed.)

This is my pubspec.yaml file

name: demo
description: demo

publish_to: 'none'
version: 1.0.0+1

environment:
  sdk: ">=2.12.0 <3.0.0"


dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  flutter_localizations:
    sdk: flutter

  cupertino_icons: ^1.0.2
  dio: ^4.0.0
  auto_route: ^2.2.0
  json_serializable: ^5.0.0

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter

  flutter_lints: ^1.0.0
  build_runner:
  auto_route_generator: ^2.1.0

flutter:

  uses-material-design: true
  generate: true

  assets:
    - assets/icons/
    - assets/config/

Solution 1

try this code

json_serializable: any

I hope this will work.

Solution 2

this step work with me

1 - add dependencies in pubspec.yaml file

  dio: ^4.0.0
  json_serializable: ^4.1.4
  json_annotation: ^4.0.1

2- run this command to reset version

dart pub upgrade --null-safety

Solution 3

This is happening because the auto_route_generator depends on json_serializable: ^4.1.4 internally inside that package, but you are using json_serializable externally and the version used in both cases doesn't match, thus the error,

One solution for this is you can use both versions and mention one version inside dependencies: and another inside dependency_overrides: like this:

dependencies:
  ...
  json_serializable: ^5.0.0
  ...

dependency_overrides:
  ...
  json_annotation: ^4.0.1
  json_serializable: ^4.1.4
  ...

And the problem should be solved. If any further complication arises you can always check which version is used inside the package's internal pubspec.yaml and add them as dependency_overrides: in your code.
