Arch Linux User Repository

This package is deprecated in favor of aur/flutter which now contains all required artifacts on its own. This PKGBUILD will be kept as is in order to ensure seamless builds of old Flutter version in future.

yay -S flutter-group-pacman-hook
chgrp -R flutterusers /opt/flutter
chmod g+w /opt/flutter
sudo usermod -a -G flutterusers $USER

Is not enough to execute flutter as non-root, someone getted it to work here?

flutter 
        create $PROJECT
        doctor

Failed to open or create the artifact cache lockfile: "FileSystemException: Cannot open file, path = '/opt/flutter/bin/cache/lockfile' (OS Error: Permission denied, errno = 13)"

@solstice, you can use this pacman hook to achieve the same thing:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/flutter-group-pacman-hook/

You forgot to add a post_upgrade() in .install:

chgrp -R flutterusers /opt/flutter
chmod g+w /opt/flutter

Otherwise, an upgrade will cause problem

If you're getting issues with installing dependencies like the following:

-> Could not find all required packages:
    lib32-libva (Wanted by: flutter -> lib32-libglvnd-git -> lib32-mesa-aco-git)
    lib32-libxext (Wanted by: flutter -> lib32-libglvnd-git)
    lib32-libxext (Wanted by: flutter -> lib32-libglvnd-git -> lib32-mesa-aco-git -> lib32-libdrm-git -> lib32-cairo-git)
...
...
...

I've made a PR to the maintainer with a fix here:

https://github.com/frealgagu/archlinux.flutter/pull/2

@btimofeev: flutter needs to be run as root, or you can use a hook like mine (flutter-group-pacman-hook) to declare a group having the permissions to use it (it defaults to fultterusers group as it is the example in the PKGBUILD)

flutter doctor ~/mkdir: cannot create directory '/opt/flutter/bin/cache': Permission denied

@hack.augusto my trick is flutter-group-pacman-hook package, but it will throw some warning when upgrading flutter. The package adds a pacman hook that will apply the "right" rights on /opt/flutter. You can define whatever group you want it applied to, but defaults to flutterusers.

git and bash are required, and should be moved to regular dependencies (and unzip added). And I think dart should be removed altogether, as flutter vends its own (custom) version of the dart sdk.

@hack.augusto A package must not use local users in building, the app itself should use a local config for its usage, so it's not something that should be changed in the PKGBUILD. Other packages like npm, go or python are installed as root and to install specific adds, they need to be installed as root (or even be installed using other AUR package). Flutter is more recent that those other packages but I think that this is the way to install adds in the future.
