This is a set of utilities used in this repository, both for CI and for local development.
The tool is designed to be run at the root of the repository or <repository-root>/packages/
.
In flutter/packages, the tool is run from source.
Set up:
cd script/tool && dart pub get && cd ../../
Run:
dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart <args>
Many commands require the Flutter-bundled version of Dart to be the first dart
in the path.
When updating sample code excerpts (update-excerpts
) for the README.md files, there is some extra setup for submodules that is necessary.
Run with --help
for a full list of commands and arguments, but the following shows a number of common commands being run for a specific package.
Most commands take a --packages
argument to control which package(s) the command is targetting. An package name can be any of:
path_provider_android
).path_provider
), in which case all packages that make up that plugin will be targetted.path_provider/path_provider
for the app-facing package).cd <repository root> dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart format --packages package_name
cd <repository root> dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart analyze --packages package_name
cd <repository root> dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart test --packages package_name
cd <repository root> dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart build-examples --apk --packages package_name dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart drive-examples --android --packages package_name
Replace --apk
/--android
with the platform you want to test against (omit it to get a list of valid options).
native-test
takes one or more platform flags to run tests for. By default it runs both unit tests and (on platforms that support it) integration tests, but --no-unit
or --no-integration
can be used to run just one type.
Examples:
cd <repository root> # Run just unit tests for iOS and Android: dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart native-test --ios --android --no-integration --packages package_name # Run all tests for macOS: dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart native-test --macos --packages package_name # Run all tests for Windows: dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart native-test --windows --packages package_name
update-excerpts
requires sources that are in a submodule. If you didn't clone with submodules, you will need to git submodule update --init --recursive
before running this command.
cd <repository root> dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart update-excerpts --packages package_name
update-release-info
will automatically update the version and CHANGELOG.md
following standard repository style and practice. It can be used for single-package updates to handle the details of getting the CHANGELOG.md
format correct, but is especially useful for bulk updates across multiple packages.
For instance, if you add a new analysis option that requires production code changes across many packages:
cd <repository root> dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart update-release-info \ --version=minimal \ --changelog="Fixes violations of new analysis option some_new_option."
The minimal
option for --version
will skip unchanged packages, and treat each changed package as either bugfix
or next
depending on the files that have changed in that package, so it is often the best choice for a bulk change.
For cases where you know the change time, minor
or bugfix
will make the corresponding version bump, or next
will update only CHANGELOG.md
without changing the version.
Releases are automated for flutter/packages
.
The manual procedure described here is deprecated, and should only be used when the automated process fails. Please, read Releasing a Plugin or Package on the Flutter Wiki first.
cd <path_to_repo> git checkout <commit_hash_to_publish> dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart publish --packages <package>
By default the tool tries to push tags to the upstream
remote, but some additional settings can be configured. Run dart run script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart publish --help
for more usage information.
The tool wraps pub publish
for pushing the package to pub, and then will automatically use git to try to create and push tags. It has some additional safety checking around pub publish
too. By default pub publish
publishes everything, including untracked or uncommitted files in version control. publish
will first check the status of the local directory and refuse to publish if there are any mismatched files with version control present.
For flutter/packages, just changing the source here is all that's needed.
For changes that are relevant to flutter/packages, you will also need to:
