After the update to the version 0.3.1_r17328 of Dart SDK and Dart Editor I have some trouble to import some library particulary Args library. I have the same problem both directly importing Args or importing Web_ui where Args is one of the dependencies.

Here is my pubspec.yaml:

name:  notes
description:  A sample application

dependencies:
  web_ui: 0.3.0+1

or:

name:  notes
description:  A sample application

dependencies:
  args: 0.3.1+1

Here is the error generate from build.dart 

Unable to open file:     C:/Users/Fabio/Dropbox/progetti/note/packages/args/args.dart'package:web_ui/component_build.dart': Error: line 25 pos 1: library handler failed
import 'package:args/args.dart';

'file:///C:/Users/Fabio/Dropbox/progetti/note/build.dart': Error: line 1 pos 1: library handler failed
import 'package:web_ui/component_build.dart';

I solved the problem. It seems that the Cache folder (Pub) has been corrupted.

I have deleted the folder Cache: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Pub

Then i run pub install from command line and it works.

Unfortunately, I was getting the same error with my windows XP machine.

In the end, I logged into my windows 7 machine and was able to download the packages, zipped them up and pasted the libraries into my windows XP dart editor. Success!

I had no reason to believe I had the exact proxy issue @shindokaku had as I am using my home computer.

I tried all the suggestions on deleting the .cache files, pub.lock files and the packages folder and retrying. I uninstalled dart editor and tried again. I also tried using the git resources to download web-ui and running commands through the command line to no avail

  • After updating to Dart Editor/SDK version 0.3.7_r18717 I now get the following error that WinXP isn't supported. "Pub install failed, [64] Sorry, but pub is not supported on Windows XP." At least there is a nicer error message and I know I should finally buy a newer computer. :) – kirkkohler Feb 23 '13 at 03:48

This problem has been haunting me over and over for a few weeks. I am not using Windows, so this answer is not intended to help the original poster who is using Windows 7.

If you are using Linux here are the steps I use to repair corrupted pub cache.

Go to the top level directory of your app. You should see at least pubspec.lock, pubspec.yaml, a folder named packages, and a folder named web. Delete your pubspec.lock, and packages folder.

[Make sure you aren't storing your own libraries in the packages folder]

cd ~/dart/myApp/
rm -r packages
rm pubspec.lock

Now once you have removed these files:

pub cache repair

Note 1: if your dart-sdk is not in your systems $PATH, than you will want to use the absolute path to the sdk when using the above command. Comment if you need that explained.

Note 2: This is working solution with Dart 1.5.3. I have not tested this on earlier versions.

Try deleting your pubspec.lock file and packages directory in the root folder of the project. Then run pub install again, when things get wacky thats what I do.

You should try to run pub update. I have sometimes found that this doesn't work as expected from the editor, but generally works quite smoothly when called from the command line.
