Flutter error Unable to start the daemon process


My flutter project is run smoothly in my old laptop. But when I use my new laptop, my flutter project can't run in debug mode.

This error

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.


* What went wrong:

Unable to start the daemon process.

This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.

For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.

Please refer to the User Manual chapter on the daemon at https://docs.gradle.org/5.6.2/userguide/gradle_daemon.html

Is there something missing in the settings on my new laptop? I tried to clean project, upgrade flutter but always fail. Sorry for new


Solution

  • So I just sorted this on my side. I was unable to see any devices and when starting VS code it would warn me with a pop up "Flutter error Unable to start the daemon process" underneath it stated it was dart causing the error.

    I cd to flutter package where I am using the stable repo, I did a git fetch. then went bank to my project and ran flutter pub get. I closed and opened the project and now I see devices and have no pup up warnings. I did see a pop up "dart has been updated" message.
