Flutter and Dart extensions appear to be broken on VSCode

I opened VSCode a few days ago to continue work on a Flutter project, unfortunately, the Flutter and Dart usually take a while to start(2-3 minutes), but this time,the extensions failed to initialize, and I'm left without the tools that come with the extensions .screenshot of the current state of things

Over the past few days, I have,

  • Deleted and re-installed the Flutter SDK(now its 3.3.7, Dart 2.18.4)

  • Deleted and re-installed VSCode(used to be a snap, now a .deb)

  • Uninstalled and re-installed the Flutter and Dart extensions(multiple times, restarted VSCode each time)

- Ran said project directly from the terminal to be sure I had the flutter tool correctly installed(flutter run and flutter build apk ran fine, with no errors)

Please find the results of 'flutter doctor -v' below

The CLI command, 'flutter --version' returns

Flutter 3.3.7 • channel stable • https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git

All of this leads me to believe the Flutter SDK is installed correctly and the problem is with VSCode and the extensions

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Solution

  • Fixed!

    If something in the extension is corrupt you could try uninstalling the extensions and then deleting them from ~/.vscode/extensions (the ones starting dart-code) and then reinstall.

    From DartCode's GitHub, read the issue and fix here if you're still confused
