Great talk, would love to hear more (maybe a blog post) about optimising widget tests

Flutter accessibility experts:

How i can stop the AppBar back button being the first focused and announced widget on a page?

Seems like bad UX for accessibility users.

Anyone else having issues with Flutter 3.35 bundling assets from packages?

It seems if a package is a dependency override, the assets no longer get bundled...

github.com/flutter/flut...

Had no idea this existed! Although I don't love button click sounds...

I'm going to miss being able to force multi-line formatting using a trailing comma, but otherwise this release looks great!

Started using Cursor this week. Not liking VS Code but Cursor Composer can give some great results.

Still need to dive into cursorrules and tweak my workflow.

Really looking forward to @jetbrains.com Junie to get the same thing in Intellij!

Great write up!

Yep, as long as there is still a goal to improve code generation (which there is!)

Running a pub upgrade and then activating again seems to temporarily solve the issue.

Anyone else had major issues using dart cli tools since dart 3.6?

I have a CLI tool I develop and use daily, which is globally activated from a local source.

Now I'm frequently getting the error:
'The current activation of `my_cli` cannot resolve to the same set of dependencies'.

Looks great! Well thought out and it really does seem like this is needed.

Flutter bundles assets from all packages in a pub workspace · Issue #160142 · flutter/flutter When using the new pub workspaces, I've found a bug where assets from all packages are bundled in the built app, rather than assets from just the packages that the Flutter app depends on. This seem...

yeah that was me, and it does!

Here's the bug report I filed: github.com/flutter/flut...

Looks like a fix is underway.

Spent the morning rewriting a polling function that used Timer/Completer/Future into a much nicer version using Stream.periodic.

It turns out Stream.periodic is essentially impossible to test via Flutter Widget tests 😭

Darts async features really need a lot of work.

thanks!

seems like the versions of both file and platform dependencies are higher than versions pinned by flutter (or the integration_test package).

Could those be relaxed so I don't need to use dependency overrides?

😍 nice, will try this out today!

My last day of holiday and I've finally started a new side project 🎉

Using Dart for the backend deployed via Cloud Run. Excited to see how it turns how with the whole stack in Dart.

A bit of holiday baking today

ooh yum whats the dressing?

amazing, these little round display look great

Oh great haven't heard of that one.

I'll check it out

Next year I want to start a weekly 'journal' of work achievements, things I'm proud of etc.

I'm thinking a private github repo, with a github app that opens a PR weekly.

Anyone have app recommendations for teaching a 3 year old to read?

Duolingo ABC is ok but looking for more options

I assumed that would work as well but it doesn't seem to.

I've found an existing issue filed: github.com/flutter/flut...

Thanks for trying!

Last day of work for year - so of course I now have the sudden urge to start a side project 🤣

Here's a dartpad of a working sample: dartpad.dev?id=45adea1ea...

Basically the footer sliver has a color that should fill the overscroll.

This is achieved in the sample via the aligned container that sizes its height to the scroll offset

Flutter devs - is there a nicer way to fill the bottom scroll offset of a CustomScrollView (which uses BouncingScrollPhysics)?

I'm currently using a scrollController.offset to display a Container behind the scroll view sized to the height of the scroll.

It works, but is there a better way?

Seems to only occur when packages depend on a shared base package.
