I'm VERY new to the Mac OS (I'm running macOS Monterey v12.4) on an M1 Macbook Pro. I have Flutter installed and have built a few sandbox apps with this framework.
I'm trying to build a web application with Flutter and Cloud Firestore and thought it best to use the flutterfire_cli to do some of the configurations but I'm stuck trying to run a specific setup command.
The command that I'm trying to run is "dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli" from a terminal. The output that I get is the following when I run this (the error is at the bottom):
- ansi_styles 0.3.2 1s...
- args 2.3.1
- async 2.9.0
- ci 0.1.0
- cli_util 0.3.5

- yaml 3.1.1
- Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in "/Users/myusername/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/flutterfire_cli-0.2.2 2".
When I try to run the next command according to the documentation here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/flutter/setup?platform=web
That command is "flutterfire configure" from within Android studio I get the following error: "zsh: command not found: flutterfire"
I'm running node version "v16.15.1" and nvm version "0.39.1" with npm version "8.12.1"
Has anyone run into this?
Thanks!
CodePudding user response：
In your termianl run:
export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"
Then try to use flutterfire command in your project directory.
CodePudding user response：
Thanks for that response shuster. I'm afraid that my environment needed abit more help as there were errors when running several commands. I'll outline the steps I used below to finally get this working.
Steps to resolve the issue
- Delete Node and NPM (aka - fresh start)
- This post here outlined a straightforward way to do this: https://www.positronx.io/how-to-uninstall-node-js-and-npm-from-macos/
- Reinstall node WITHOUT using the 'sudo' command using NVM
- Verify that all versions are in place and working for NVM, NODE and NPM - all good
- Was still getting issues with the command from Dart to activate the flutterfire_cli "dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli"
- I didn't capture the exact error, but there was a complaint about a PUBSPEC.YAML missing
- I suspected that something was wrong with my Dart installation or cache, so I decided to try clearing the cache
- Repairing the cache using this command "dart pub cache repair" produced a "permissions denied" error on the .pub-cache folder
- Cleaning the DART cache using this command "dart pub cache clean" produced the same "permissions denied" error on the same folder
- So, I went in and deleted everything in that .pub-cache folder manually
- I then went back to the terminal and ran the command "dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli" to try and get Dart into a better place
- This worked but I got an error message (basically) stating that the path was wrong for a global command and I needed to run "export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"
- If I ran that PATH command from the terminal, then the Flutterfire CLI would work for that session only but not work in my IDE (Android Studio) unless I ran that same command again inside the IDE
- At this point I knew I was very close and needed to figure out how to get this Mac to keep that setting all the time
- After some digging into what this "zsh" thing was, I found a post that explained it very well and was able to make the change permanent https://wpbeaches.com/how-to-add-to-the-shell-path-in-macos-using-terminal/
Hope this helps someone - happy coding!
