- #3511: Hot Reload no longer stops working after a Hot Restart.
v3.25.0 2021-08-02
Improved Dependency Management
- #3306/#3474: Two new commands Dart: Add Dependency and Dart: Add Dev Dependency have been added to simplify adding new dependencies to your
puspec.yaml. The commands will provide a type-to-filter list of packages periodically fetched from Pub.
The commands are also available from context menus and the title menu in the dependencies tree.
The commands can also be invoked as quick-fixes on unresolved import 'package:' statements.
#3500: Finally, direct and dev dependencies can be removed directly from the context menu in the dependencies tree.
Note: Some of these features rely on an update to the pub deps command so may not be visible until a future SDK update depending on your SDK channel.
Fix All Command
#3445/#3469: The “Fix All” command is now available for Dart files and can fix all of the same issues as dart fix for the current open file in one step.
This can also be set to run on-save by adding "source.fixAll" to the "editor.codeActionsOnSave" VS Code setting.
Note: This feature relies on changes in the Dart SDK so may not be visible until a future SDK update depending on your SDK channel. It is also only available when running in LSP mode (so you must not have set "dart.previewLsp": false in your VS Code settings).

- #3483: @Semvrij contributed a fix for missing color previews when using an uppercase
Xin hex values for theColorconstructor. - #3487: The “Toggle Platform” command has been replaced with “Override Platform” and now allow selecting the platform to emulate rather than only toggling between Android and iOS.
- #3465: Flutter web apps should no longer sometimes start up showing just a white page.
- #3454/#3463: Flutter apps should once again respond to changes in your system theme (when not overridden using the Flutter: Toggle Brightness command) rather than being locked to the theme applied when the debugger connected.
- #3477: The DevTools inspector button on the debug toolbar should once again appear in debug mode.
Editor
- #3442: Links to error documentation are now available from the Problems tag when using LSP.

dart.lineLengthnow work at the workspace-folder level instead of only at the workspace level when using LSP (requires SDK update). - #542: “Convert getter to method” and “Convert method to getter” refactors are now available when using LSP (requires SDK update).
- #2056: Syntax highlighting is now more reliably for interpolated strings that contain additional braces and quotes inside their expressions.
Other
- #3481: @iChenLei migrated the extensions tests from the deprecated
vscode-testNPM package to@vscode/test-electron.
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!
