Intermittent build_runner failure: "Invalid argument(s): Missing library"

[matt-hall-zory]

Have been struggling with running build_runner the last few weeks (after recent flutter update). Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. I've been playing around with packages the last four hours. I have already reported this to dart-lang (dart-lang/build#3657), but build_runner is complaining about dart_json_mapper.

[SEVERE] Failed after 97ms

Sad to see that. Unfortunately it's not telling me literally anything useful. If it is possible to isolate the issue on a clean repo, I'll be glad to look at it.

[matt-hall-zory]

Thanks for checking, I wasn't sure if I was missing something obvious.

[matt-hall-zory]

I found a workaround.
Each time I get the "missing library" error I add a comment to the file then re-run build_runner. After running a few times, touching each file with an error I'm able to complete the build_runner process. I then remove the comments and commit.

[k-paxian]

Are you running a build runner in a watch mode?

[matt-hall-zory]

No, I run it manually.
