Fix All in Workspace Commands
#5022: When using Flutter 3.22 / Dart 3.4, new commands Dart: Apply Fix All in Workspace and Dart: Preview Fix All in Workspace are available.
The Apply version of the command will fix all auto-fixable issues across the whole workspace, similar to running dart fix. The Preview version of the command will open VS Code’s refactor preview allowing you to choose which fixes to apply. You can use the context menu to group these changes by the issue that they are fixing (add 👍 to this VS Code issue if you’d like to see this enabled by default and to this VS Code issue for having the changes ticked by default).
Automatically Close DevTools on Debug End
#5029: A new setting Dart: Close DevTools (dart.closeDevTools) has been added to allow automatic closing of embedded DevTools windows like the Widget Inspector when a debug session ends. The ifOpened option will close only embedded windows that were opened automatically as a result of the Dart: Open DevTools (dart.openDevTools) setting.
DevTools
- #5116: Dragging an embedded DevTools window out into its own VS Code Window no longer results in a blank page but instead reloads the tool (at this time, any state within the tool may be reset).
- #5046: Actions that trigger a restart of the DevTools server will now cause embedded DevTools windows to be reloaded so that they can be reconnected to the new server/Dart Tooling Daemon.
Misc
- #5084: The Dart language server will now be terminated more reliable/quickly when closing VS Code during initial analysis of very large workspaces.
