When I click on any of the two marked items in red circle, the app crashes immediately.

I'm using latest version 0.0.3 on macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 (20D91). Please let me know if you need additional information. (version 0.0.2 works fine btw).

p.s. I also noticed the master branch is not shown as an installed version.

hi, can you publish the app as exe for windows

I installed the sidekick.exe file on my laptop.
I still not completed the FVM setup.
Inside settings In the Projects menu, it shows a blank screen.

It would be nice to check for updates of sidekick inside the app so we don't have to go to the github page to check for new updates.

The download & installation of a gui update could also happen from the gui

I installed the sidekick.exe file on my laptop.
I still not completed the FVM setup.
In Projects and Packages change settings screen showing a blank screen.

Packages:

Before we release a 1.0 version we need some test coverage on some of the services but also Integration tests. Feel free to comment below if you would like to help tackle this one.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now we can't see the changelog in th fvm GUI.

Describe the solution you'd like

• show the changelog in the GUI
• open the github page with the latest release so changes can be reviewed in browser as well

I installed newest version of sidekick and fvm, but after I set the version for my project, VSCode is not able to locate the SDK.

Any idea why?

In windows when a setting is changes or you open the project screen a command prompt opens, presumably to complete a task. However, this should be done in the background.

@leoafarias can you assign me this issue? I'd like to take a look in the coming week, right now I'm quite busy 😄

Example:

Steps to reproduce

1. On latest version you go and configure the location of the projects, return to projects view and see nothing.
2. Close sidekick app
3. Reopen sidekick app
4. Check locations of projects in settings: there is no location set

mac os Big Sur 11.2.3

Provide functionality to set the global flutter version from within the app.

hiya!

thanks so much for this project. it's been really useful to me and my teammates.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sorta.

Using fvm to install flutter versions is great, but the fact that installing fvm requires dart to be installed is quite painful for automating setup scripts to run for a team of developers. Often a developer will end up in a spot where both the dart used to install fvm and the darts installed within the fvm-installed flutter versions are available on their path.

Describe the solution you'd like
Would you be interested in publishing prebuilt binaries for common OSes, like macos, linux, and windows? Then we could install fvm via the binary or even via a homebrew formula that fetches the binary instead of installing from source.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, you could provide a homebrew formula for fvm for users and/or publish prebuilt versions of fvm to linux package managers, etc.

Additional context
n/a

Obviously this is not a issue. But it wouldn't hurt to have the Big Sur-style app icon

This was spotted in #100. It seems the current method of detecting whether the DB is correctly initialized no longer works.

Current behavior

Expected behavior

MS just switched out their install permissions oper the new MS OS update,

You now need to include a cert in installer for most users to install it on MS Windoes

Show cancel button on loading progress.

Additional context
On-Hover the loading must show up the cancel button. So that the UI will be clean and that will give a good UX.

As I haven't checked out the code, I don't have the idea of how to do. But this is a feature request that will be helping the users to cancel their downloads.

Hello! I have tried the Linux app and it works great, nice job!
I found an issue though, I'm not able to resize the window. I figure this is not intended because you set Size.infinite for the max window size.
It looks like that is disabling the ability to resize at all.

As you can see here the Maximize and Resize buttons are grayed out.

I think it would be nice to implement project creation feature, You could select flutter fvm version maybe even integrate with https://pub.dev/packages/mason for some template generation, i personally think it would make this tool more meaningful, maybe even essential

When I'm trying to install sidekick on my MacBook Pro, this pop-up arises that says:

"Sidekick" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.

This item is on the disk image “sidekick-macos-0.0.6.dmg”.

I would ❤️ to use Sidekick, I just simply can't.

I'm new to Mac, maybe I missed something... any ideas?

I downloaded and tried to run sidekick-windows-0.0.5.msix from https://github.com/leoafarias/sidekick/releases. But I got this error:

This app package is not signed with a trusted certificate. Contact your system administrator or the app developer to obtain a new certificate or app package with trusted certificates. The root certificate and all immediate certificates of the signature in the app package must be trusted (0x800B010A)

Here's a screenshot of the window:

The Install button is also disabled.

I guess it is not able to find the path to fvm.

A flutter crash is happening on the project page on 1.0.0-alpha.2+1

This is probably an index out of bounds error

Sidekicks navigation is extremely simple, and it currently relies on Riverpod for its navigation. This is something we should refactor and clean up as the features navigation will continue to be more complex, and we want to link to nested pieces within the app.

I haven't checked a lot of the progress made on Navigation after Navigator 2.0, but I heard things about its complexity. Here are some packages worth considering.

• Riverpod Navigation - extremely new and hot off the presses, but might be something that fits well with what we currently do.
• Fluro - Which I think is one of the more mature abstractions.
• Auto Route - Has an interesting approach to it, even though our navigation is very simple maybe it's overkill (we don't have guarded routing for example)
• Plain Navigator 2.0 - Maybe our navigation is simple enough where this is might be a good approach. I don't have any experience with it to know.

Any other suggestions are welcome!

Any kind of instructions might be helpful - regarding how to run (I guess it's "build on your own" as there are no binaries linked), and how the UI works.

bug found on 0.0.1

At the time of taking this screenshot, the latest flutter master was 1.27.0-9.0.pre.129. Unlike other channels, the master channel does not show an option to upgrade as shown in the screenshot.

FVM App version 1.0.0.1 (1.0.0.1)

The current Flutter projects implementation requires a directory to be added and all Flutter projects are scanned.

This adds some complexity to the project's logic and also has some limitations

It would be a better approach to allow to add each project explicitly.

Workflow

• User taps project add button
• User selects project directory
  • If Flutter: Project directory is added.
  • If not Flutter: Display notification
• Path of the project is now cached with other information.

Handle project directory change:

• When Sidekick opens or needs to interact with projects, it checks if the directory still exists. If not shows an error on the project card to re-link the project.

This would resolve #3 and #62

(BTW @leoafarias been super busy these last few weeks, will gets some stuff done this weekend hopefully)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
First of all, I want to say thanks for your amazing work!!!!

We are using fvm for all our projects. And we are also using your mac GUI tool.

For that we were thinking about another feature for the GUI tool.
I use our macbook at work and at home. To split up our work and personal projects in a separate directory. Right now we can only select 1 directory.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to have an option to add multiple directories.

Please provide some instructions on how to install or run the app on linux.

I tried to change dark mode, but it shows an error.

What needs to be done to migrate to null safety?
What are the dependencies that still have not migrated yet?

The Flutter community is very much global. It would be important for us to have a path towards internationalization where people could contribute.

Right now Sidekick does not have any abstraction for internalization. We would first need to build this and call for the community to contribute.

issue:

The app doesn't work if access permission to Documents were not allowed in macOS.

To reproduce:

• close the app.
• remove access permission from SideKick:

• open the app again
• The app would look like:

Additional info:

• System: macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 (20D91)
• SideKick: 0.1.1

btw, In an older version, I got this screen and saved it but I forgot to file an issue at the time.

Hie, @leoafarias this is a continuation of issue raised here #1

I have been experimenting with flutter desktop for sometime and creating a single .exe has been a pain. Luckily i found a free installer inno setup as mentioned in flutter docs .

The advantage of this is that, it creates a bundled .exe file which can be shared as a single file, it comes with a graphical wizard to setup and also a script that you then run and it compiles to create your .exe
I have downloaded the sidekick and used inno setup to create a standalone .exe

Here is an example script i used to generate the .exe file (auto generated by Inno setup script wizard) available as gist here

The example executable file created,

TLDR: Users should be able to add single projects without parent directory.

After I downloaded the app this was the fist thing I saw and is pretty much a nogo for me.

Currently users select a project directory under which all projects are stored but in my opinion you should add projects by themselfes and not over detecting by a parent directory.

At the moment users are forced to use a specific directory structure so they may have to refactor their current one just to use the tool which is a downside for many.

I recorded this video.

1. When using the dark theme, the top and left bars are not updated.
2. When you close a release details section, it breaks the UI.

Let me know if you need my help figuring out what's not working.

Sidekick looks like it'd be a fun tool! Thanks for innovating in this space.

Issue
I've set a path inside of a folder named development which contains multiple Flutter projects (and other project types, i.e. web, c#, etc).

Navigating to the Projects tab doesn't show and/or load any Flutter projects.

I've also tried:

• Placing the "Project" path directly inside of a Flutter project
• Enabling/disabling the FVM only option(s)/advanced.
• Reinstalling Sidekick.

Is there something I've done wrong here?

Thanks for building the desktop app, its a very nice UI! I've also been using the cli for a little while now instead of manually managing symlinks and find it very helpful.

Doing a quick check I built and ran on Linux desktop (on master) without any issues.

Would be nice to add Linux desktop builds for future releases here on GH and update the Readme to mention that it works on Linux too.

This appears after copying the dmg to Applications & running:

I set up version 2.2.2 globally. I also set version 2.2.2 to my project (in Projects tab)

My PATH (maybe should I tweak it?)

Hi @leoafarias thanks for your amazing work here!!
I have configured the fvm cache in a custom directory using the environment variable FVM_HOME however sidekick tells me that I do not have any version installed. Is there anything else I have to configure?
{▸} ~echo $FVM_HOME
/Users/marcos/Documents/SDKs/fvm
