v1.4.2

Note: This version requires Visual Studio Code 1.13.

• Code completion will now show types for named arguments more reliably
• Argument placeholders will now (again) insert placeholder text instead of empty strings
• Completing methods that take no arguments will no longer place the cursor between the parens as if there are arguments to type
• When selecting items from the code completion list the cursor will now more reliably move to the expected location after insertion
• New snippets have been added for test and group methods defined in the test package
• Dart Code will now activate when opening workspaces that include a pubspec.yaml anywhere in the tree, not just in the workspace root folder
• Debug logging will no longer appear in the Debug Output window when launching a debug session
• Snippets now have slightly more verbose descriptions of their functionality

v1.4.1

• Identifiers that start or end with $ symbols will now highlight correctly
• Highlighting of variables inside interpolated strings is now more accurate
• Configuration snippets have been added to make adding additional debug configs to launch.json easier

v1.4.0

• Code assists are now available and will show up as lightbulbs similar to existing code fixes (for example, Wrap in new widget in Flutter projects)
• Code completion will now refresh on certain key presses (space, (, =) which should result in more accurate results more often
• Code completion results are now sorted by relevance rather than alphabetically
• Cursor position should now be better maintained when executing code fixes
• pubspec.yaml and analysisoptions.yaml will once again use the built-in YAML language/highlighting
• When opening a flutter project, the .packages file will now also be used when trying to locate the Flutter SDK
• The error message shown when unable to locate the Flutter SDK has been simplified and a link to the Flutter download page added
• The environment variable FLUTTER_HOME is not recommended for use and will no longer be used to locate a Flutter SDK (FLUTTER_ROOT is still checked)

Upstream Issues

Some feature requests and fixes require new features and fixes in upstream projects like VS Code and LSP which use counts of 👍s on those issues to help gauge demand. The Dart-Code website now lists some of the most significant upstream issues with a description of the feature/fix they would enable. Please consider reviewing this list and adding your 👍 to any GitHub issues relevant to features you’d like to see!
