fix: making the plugin in Windows 11 fails with due to an unhandled exception

[rekire]

Description

I'm trying to use this brick(? I still doesn't get the naming) and I failed hard.

Steps To Reproduce

1. I installed your cli with dart pub global activate very_good_cli
2. I added as suggested the bin path to the PATH environment variable
3. I installed that manson with dart pub global activate mason_cli (I have still no clue what this is or why I need it, you should explain it in the readme.md!)
4. I tried to install your brick with mason add -g very_good_flutter_plugin which failed with the error at the screenshot section

Expected Behavior

That I can use your template without errors.

Screenshots

PathNotFoundException: Directory listing failed, path = 'C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Local\Mason\Cache\hosted\registry.brickhub.dev\very_good_flutter_plugin_0.6.0\__brick__\{{project_name.snakeCase()}}\{{project_name.snakeCase()}}\example\{{#android}}android{{\android}}\app\src\main\kotlin\com\example\{{project_name.snakeCase()}}\*' (OS Error: Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden.
, errno = 3)

The German error text is basically a 404: File not found.

Additional Context

I want to start over an OSS project with a clean federated plugin structure. The setup failed and is quiet bad (not very good). I ran the commands on Windows 11. I'm also quiet sure that "Make a new Wear OS app" is wrong I think it should be make a new flutter plugin or something similar. Does that brick creation step ask for the plugin name?

Hi @rekire ! Thanks for making an issue.

The typo you mention in the README has now a matching Pull Request #145 that has been merged.

Regarding using this template I recommend using Very Good CLI, there are some docs to generate a Very Good Flutter Plugin with it.

I tried on MacOs and I was able to generate it successfully by:

very_good create flutter_plugin my_plugin

When you run the above using Windows does it fail?

Let me know if this helps 🙌

But I can confirm that this works on MacOS

I think this is related to VeryGoodOpenSource/very_good_cli#728

Hi @rekire 👋 Thanks for opening this issue.

I was able to reproduce this on my Windows 11 install as well and @alestiago is correct but this is actually rooted in an issue on the Mason tool itself which seems to be tracked here felangel/mason#676

I'm going to keep this ticket open but move it to a Blocked status as this is something that we need Mason to fix so we can then unblock a few tickets on separate tools.

Hi @rekire 👋 ! Thanks for opening this issue 💙

We're moving this repository to Very Good Templates. Hence, I'm closing this issue. Could you open this new issue there? Otherwise, once we get to this and( if it still is a valid issue) we'll move the issue over for you.
