[BUG] Does not use .fvmrc of parent directory on Windows 11 about fvm HOT 17 OPEN

I followed the initial instructions which caused the behavior I described. Will mark as a bug based on the information you provided so I can take a look.

from fvm.

@saibotma This is because fvm is looking for a config and a pubspec to determine the configuration; this helps with constraints and dependency checking.

I was able to replicate this on Mac also by doing the following:

$ mkdir fvm_test
$ cd fvm_test
$ fvm use stable --force
$ mkdir sub_test
$ cd sub_test
$ fvm --verbose flutter --version

The last command indicates it's running on the flutter sdk found the path. After adding a pubspec.yaml, it behaved correctly.

Let me know what the use case is so I can understand.

from fvm.

The example I used is a simplified one.
This happened in a repository containing two flutter projects, each having pubspec.yaml and all other files required by flutter. Having a missing pubspec.yaml is not the reason, for sure.

I also tried executing your example on my Mac. This is the output of fvm --verbose flutter --version:

Argument information:
  Top level options:
  - verbose: true

Command: flutter

fvm: Running Flutter SDK from version stable

Starting to update environment variables...

Running: /Users/tobias/fvm/versions/stable/bin/flutter

Flutter 3.19.1 • channel stable • https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git

Contrary to your observations, this is running using Flutter provided by fvm and not from path.
Can you share your output, please?
