— Flutter, Error, File — 1 min read
If you're working with Flutter and you've encountered the error "The method 'File.create' has fewer named arguments than those of overridden method 'File.create'", don't worry! This error is caused by a version incompatibility between the file package in your pubspec.yaml file and the version of the Flutter SDK you're using. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to fix this error.
By the way, you might encounter this error when trying to upgrade your Flutter SDK to a new version. That's how I came across it.
Update the file package in your pubspec.yaml file to the latest version. You can do this by changing the version number to the latest version, or by running flutter pub upgrade in your terminal.
Run flutter pub get to update your dependencies.
If the error persists, run flutter clean to clear the build cache and then run flutter pub get again.
If you're still having issues, try upgrading your Flutter SDK to the latest version by running flutter upgrade.
The file package is a package that provides a common set of file and directory operations. It is used by many Flutter packages and plugins, and is included in the Flutter SDK by default. The error "The method 'File.create' has fewer named arguments than those of overridden method 'File.create'" occurs when the version of the file package in your pubspec.yaml file is not compatible with the version of the Flutter SDK you're using.
The pubspec.yaml file is a file that contains metadata about your Flutter project, including its dependencies. You can use this file to specify which packages your project depends on, and their versions.
flutter pub get is a command that you can run in your terminal to download and install the packages specified in your pubspec.yaml file.
That's it! By following these steps, you should be able to fix the Flutter error "The method 'File.create' has fewer named arguments than those of overridden method 'File.create'".
