I'm not seeing this error - when I pick "Show all Tasks" I just get this empty box:

Where does the error appear for you?

It's possible the better fix would be conditionally using pub/flutter here:

Though I'm curious why I'm not seeing the same error you do.

Ok, the issue was that I didn't have bulid_runner referenced.

I think a better fix would be to use the correct ID based on the type of project (for example if you have a workspace with multiple projects, we should show the correct one for each).

Something more like this:

patch.txt

If I open a workspace with a Flutter + Dart project, this will then show the correct type:

WDYT?

eh, I wish that flutter did not create this pub/flutter division, it seems completely pointless.

But your proposal looks good, I will update my MR later.

Ok, I have updated.

But, while doing this, I had another idea: maybe task provider should just have a different name that works both for pub and flutter, and then decide what to call when task is being ran.

Instead of pub/flutter: build_runner watch use:

Option A: build_runner: watch
Option B: dart: build_runner watch

If this won't work for some reason, please merge as it is.

I think it probably would - I'm not sure why I previously separated them in the UI. I don't think anyone running build_runner would be specifically looking for "flutter" so I think it could all just be using a type of pub. If you want to strip that out and simplify it (so the only difference is probably inside createBuildRunnerCommandBackgroundTask where it picks the program/args), that sounds good to me (you could also then remove the flutter taskDefinition from package.json).

Thanks!

Let's just use pub then. PR updated.

LGTM, thanks!
