refactor: Remove `throwOnPluginPubspecError` flag for plugin validation (#144214) Part of #137040 and #80374 The flag `throwOnPluginPubspecError` never actually was enabled during production in #79669, but only in some dart plugin tests. And in the tests the case of the error when enabling the flag was not explicitly tested. The only thing tested was, that it is not thrown when disabled. As explained [here](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/142035#discussion_r1484237904) the only case, where this error could be thrown is, when a dart implementation and a native inline implementation are provided simultaneously. But throwing an exception there is a wrong behavior, as both can coexist in a plugin package, thus in the pubspec file. Disabling the flag means, that the error is not thrown and not shown to the user. This is the case in production (contrary to the dart plugin tests), which acts like these plugin cases of implementations are just skipped. And this is what actually should be done. In conclusion, I think the case of coexisting dart and native implementation in pubspec was just overlooked and therefore this error validation was introduced, which is not necessary or even valid.

So I think it falls in the category of "remove dead code". - Theoretically this is a breaking change, as removing / altering some tests. But the flag actually was never valid or used, so IDK. But this may not does fall in the category of "contributed tests". https://dart.googlesource.com/external/github.com/flutter/flutter/+/dc6f94a878443e9dd8d8585793a6e0f9af17f19d
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.
