Debugging the flutter-tizen tool

The flutter-tizen tool is written in Dart. It extends the original Flutter CLI's functionality by (basically) overriding some of its classes and methods at the code level.

• The flutter-tizen tool creates its snapshot (compiled Dart code) when it's run for the first time. To run the tool directly from source, run this in the repository root:

  flutter/bin/dart bin/flutter_tizen.dart help

• To force the snapshot to be re-generated, remove bin/cache/flutter-tizen.snapshot.

• To debug the tool with the VS Code debugger,

  1. Add flutter-tizen directory to your workspace.
  2. Install the Dart extension for VS Code.
  3. Configure launch.json file as follows:

     {
       "version": "0.2.0",
       "configurations": [
         {
           "name": "flutter-tizen",
           "request": "launch",
           "type": "dart",
           "cwd": "${fileWorkspaceFolder}",
           "program": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/flutter_tizen.dart",
           "args": ["doctor"]
         }
       ]
     }

  4. Start debugging (F5).
