Dependencies View

#3095: The dependencies view now has tooltips that show the shortest path from your package to a transitive dependency to help you understand where it comes from.

Note: This feature relies on an update to the pub deps command so may not be immediately visible depending on your SDK channel.

Launch Configurations

#3414: The explorer context menu now includes a command to quickly create a launch configuration in launch.json for a script and open it for editing. This makes it easier to switch between launching different files at the top of the Debug side bar.

Debugger

• #3426: Flutter debug toggles like Toggle Debug Painting are now correctly restored after a hot restart.
• #3434: The "console" field in launch.json that controls where Dart CLI scripts run now accepts an additional value "externalTerminal" that will spawn the script in an external terminal rather than using VS Code’s integrated terminal.
• #3431: Using the "args" field in launch.json for an attach request no longer reports that the field is invalid.

Flutter

• #3423: The Enable {platform} actions in the Flutter device selector now enable only the selected platform rather than all available platforms.
• #3410: A notification is now shown if the Flutter device daemon terminates during startup (for example if the dart.flutterAdditionalArgs setting contains arguments not valid for flutter daemon).
• #3366/#3381: @Hamdor contributed showing an option to cold boot Android emulators in the Flutter device selector.
• #3364: Colors using the Color.fromRGBO constructor now show color previews in the

• #3412: Method calls on unresolved/invalid variables are consistently uncolored (requires SDK update).

• #3395: Conditional imports are now syntax highlighted.
• #3385: Code completion now automatically triggers when completing the import ''; snippet or selecting a folder when using LSP (requires SDK update).
• #3374: The name part of named constructors are now coloured the same as methods (instead of classes) when using LSP (requires SDK update).
• #3357: Hover tooltips now format method/function signatures over multiple lines as if formatted with trailing commas (requires SDK update).
• #3335: A new “ignore {lint} for file” quick-fix allows ignoring a lint for an entire file in one go (requires SDK update).
• #3308: The void keyword now has a semantic token modifier to allow its color to be customized differently to other keywords (requires SDK update).
• #3269: An export directive that references a non-existent file now has a quick-fix to create the file (requires SDK update).
• #3268: The quick-fix to create files from a part directive now prefills the library filename in the created file (requires SDK update).
• #3259: The error message reported when failing to resolve includes in an analysis_options.yaml file now includes information about the project being used to resolve the package URI (requires SDK update).
• #3071: Go-to-Definition on a conditionally imported filename now jumps directly to the file instead of showing a picker of all files in the directive (requires SDK update).
• #2834: Invoking Signature Help/Parameter Hints in type arguments now shows the type parameters and their constraints (requires SDK update).
• #1808: Status bar entries added by the Dart extension can now be individually shown/hidden using the context menu.
• #1619: A new command Toggle Dartdoc Comment is available for key-binding that will toggle triple-slashes /// for the current selection (similar to the existing Toggle Line Comment command but with an extra slash).

Docs

• #3367: The FAQ entry on SDK location now details more places that the extension searches for SDKs.
