path_ pubspec_ does_ not_ exist
The directory '{0}' doesn't contain a pubspec.
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a dependency has a
path
key
that references a directory that doesn't contain a
pubspec.yaml
file.
Example
#
Assuming that the directory
local_package
doesn't contain a file
pubspec.yaml
, the following code produces this diagnostic because it's
listed as the path of a package:
name: example
dependencies:
local_package:
path: local_package
Common fixes
#
If the path is intended to be the root of a package, then add a
pubspec.yaml
file in the directory:
name: local_package
If the path is wrong, then replace it with the correct path.
