doctor: make JDK validation message more descriptive (#157280)
This PR attempts to improve clarity of androids section of `flutter
doctor -v` output by providing explicit information about which JDK is
being used and how to configure a different one if needed.
### Before
```console
• Java binary at: /Users/user/Applications/Android Studio Ladybug Feature Drop 2024.2.2 Canary 2.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home/bin/java
```
### After
1. When JDK is from Android Studio:
```console
• Java binary at: /Users/users/Applications/Android Studio Ladybug Feature Drop 2024.2.2 Canary 2.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home/bin/java
This is the JDK bundled with latest Android Studio installation
To manually set a custom JDK path, use: `flutter config --jdk-dir="path/to/jdk"`
```
2. When JDK is from JAVA_HOME env variable:
```console
• Java binary at: /Users/user/Applications/Android Studio Ladybug Feature Drop 2024.2.2 Canary 2.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home/bin/java
This JDK is specified by JAVA_HOME environment variable
To manually set a custom JDK path, use: `flutter config --jdk-dir="path/to/jdk"`
```
3. When path to JDK is set in flutter config:
```console
• Java binary at: /Users/user/Applications/Android Studio Ladybug Feature Drop 2024.2.2 Canary 2.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home/bin/java
This JDK was found in system PATH
To change current JDK, run: `flutter config --jdk-dir="path/to/jdk"`
```
4. When java binary is found in PATH (as fallback)
```console
• Java binary at: /Users/user/Applications/Android Studio Ladybug Feature Drop 2024.2.2 Canary 2.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home/bin/java
This JDK is specified in Flutter configuration
To manually set a custom JDK path, use: `flutter config --jdk-dir="path/to/jdk"`
```
### Motivation
I think it's described in
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/153156#issuecomment-2336814991.
TLDR; many developers struggle with Java-related issues and more verbose
doctor's output will (presumably) improve DX in that part.
fixes #153156

Monorepo is:
With depot_tools installed and on your path, create a directory for your monorepo checkout and run these commands to create a gclient solution in that directory:
mkdir monorepo cd monorepo gclient config --unmanaged https://dart.googlesource.com/monorepo gclient sync -D
This gives you a checkout in the monorepo directory that contains:
monorepo/ DEPS - the DEPS used for this gclient checkout commits.json - the pinned commits for Dart, flutter/engine, and flutter/flutter tools/ - scripts used to create monorepo DEPS engine/src/ - the flutter/buildroot repo flutter/ - the flutter/engine repo out/ - the build directory, where Flutter engine builds are created third_party/ - Flutter dependencies checked out by DEPS dart/ - the Dart SDK checkout. third_party - Dart dependencies, also used by Flutter flutter/ - the flutter/flutter repo
Flutter's instructions for building the engine are at Compiling the engine
They can be followed closely, with a few changes:
goma_ctl ensure_start is sufficient.Example build commands that work on linux:
MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD if [[ ! $PATH =~ (^|:)$MONOREPO_PATH/flutter/bin(:|$) ]]; then PATH=$MONOREPO_PATH/flutter/bin:$PATH fi export GOMA_DIR=$(dirname $(command -v gclient))/.cipd_bin goma_ctl ensure_start pushd engine/src flutter/tools/gn --goma --no-prebuilt-dart-sdk --unoptimized --full-dart-sdk autoninja -C out/host_debug_unopt popd
The Flutter commands used to build and run apps will use the locally built Flutter engine and Dart SDK, instead of the one downloaded by the Flutter tool, if the --local-engine option is provided.
For example, to build and run the Flutter spinning square sample on the web platform,
MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD cd flutter/examples/layers flutter --local-engine=host_debug_unopt \ -d chrome run widgets/spinning_square.dart cd $MONOREPO_PATH
To build for desktop, specify the desktop platform device in flutter run as -d macos or -d linux or -d windows. You may also need to run the command
flutter create --platforms=windows,macos,linux
on existing apps, such as sample apps. New apps created with flutter create already include these support files. Details of desktop support are at Desktop Support for Flutter
Tests in the Flutter source tree can be run with the flutter test command, run in the directory of a package containing tests. For example:
MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD cd flutter/packages/flutter flutter test --local-engine=host_debug_unopt cd $MONOREPO_PATH
Please file an issue or email the dart-engprod team with any problems with or questions about using monorepo.
We will update this documentation to address them.
flutter commands may download the engine and Dart SDK files for the configured channel, even though they will be using the local engine and its SDK.gclient sync needs to be run in an administrator session, because some installed dependencies create symlinks.
