I am trying to migrate a project into null safety mode,after migrating and clearing all the errors, I am getting this problem named 'Sort pub dependencies.dart(sort_pub_dependencies)'. I searched Google but couldn't find any solution. Any help would really be appreciated :)

sort_pub_dependencies is a lint that comes from the Dart linter: https://dart-lang.github.io/linter/lints/sort_pub_dependencies.html

The lint is activated in the analysis_options.yaml file in your project.

linter:
 rules:
  - sort_pub_dependencies

Basically, it is telling you to sort the name of the dependencies alphabetically in the pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  markdown:
  archive:  # put archive before markdown

You can remove the line from analysis_options.yaml if you don't want to enforce this rule.

It isn't a necessary rule, you can just turn that off by going to your analysis_options.yaml file and adding this line under rules:

sort_pub_dependencies: false

There is also a package for sorting the dependecies with more features on pub.dev.

You add the package to your dev_dependencies section in pubspec.yaml file or use flutter pub add --dev pubspec_dependency_sorter.

Then run flutter pub run pubspec_dependency_sorter The packages will be automatically sorted for you.

  • Please don't just post some tool or library as an answer. At least demonstrate [how it solves the problem](//meta.stackoverflow.com/a/251605) in the answer itself. – 4b0 Sep 23 '22 at 08:50
