Unable to determine Flutter version for channel: stable version: any architecture: x64

[simc]

I get this issue a lot recently. Rerunning the CI often fixes it. I did not change the workflow recently.

[pjung-bosch]

Had a similar problem lately. Most likely, flutter-action isn't able to get the list of flutter releases. The error is not reported because curl is called with the --silent option.
In order to debug this, I suggest you add a step in your workflow before the flutter action which downloads that file. If it fails you may be able to see what exactly causes the problem in your case (for me it was an ssl issue)

steps:
    - name: Test connection
      run: curl "https://storage.googleapis.com/flutter_infra_release/releases/releases_linux.json"

I got around this by addressing the flutter doctor warning about the tmp folder for the SDK being unsafe. Before running the subosito/flutter-action@v2 action I added the following:

- name: Fix flutter SDK folder permission
   run: git config --global --add safe.directory /tmp/flutter/--

+1 The same error here

[x-yurii-uvarov]

The problem is here.

If the runner is a MacOS, $RUNNER_OS returns darwin instead of macos, and the following return error:
curl "https://storage.googleapis.com/flutter_infra_release/releases/releases_darwin.json":

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><Error><Code>NoSuchKey</Code><Message>The specified key does not exist.</Message><Details>No such object: flutter_infra_release/releases/releases_darwin.json</Details></Error>

It should be: https://storage.googleapis.com/flutter_infra_release/releases/releases_macos.json then it returns the correct list.

[subosito]

@x-yurii-uvarov is it returns darwin? according to the https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/environment-variables#default-environment-variables it will returns macOS.

RUNNER_OS The operating system of the runner executing the job. Possible values are Linux, Windows, or macOS. For example, Windows

[nbonamy]

Is there a known solution to run this for MacOS? Seeing the same error. Thanks!

[nbonamy]

Ok found a solution. Not sure which one did the trick but here is what I did:

• Override RUNNER_OS variable: right after runs-on(see below)
• Added the "Fix flutter SDK folder permission" thing
• Specified '3.7.11' in flutter version instead of 'stable'

env:
  RUNNER_OS: macos

Still cannot do a flutter build macos but will look into it! Probably a x86_64/arm64 thing given the error message: "The run destination My Mac is not valid for Running the scheme 'Runner'".

[kuhnroyal]

It should return macOS on official runners and on private runners you can set it to return the same.

I'm facing a similar issue when using this Github action within Amazon CodeCatalyst

I am using
```        - name: Flutter Build Web
          uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2.8.0
          with:
            flutter-version: '3.3.9'
            channel: 'stable'
        - run: flutter --version
        - run: flutter doctor -v```

Anyone got an idea on what could be the root cause?

Looks like the flutter install may be corrupted:
Flutter • channel unknown • unknown source

@brianfeucht your issue is different. Why don't you read output, it states clearly the problem, and it's solution:

| Standard error: fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/opt/hostedtoolcache/flutter/stable-3.3.10-x64'
| To add an exception for this directory, call:
|
|       git config --global --add safe.directory /opt/hostedtoolcache/flutter/stable-3.3.10-x64
|

@yurikoles your response is unkind. I'll caulk it up to English as a second language, but

Why don't you read output, it states clearly the problem

is a curt and rude response. It doesn't help build community. You might consider phrasing this type of response differently in the future.

I'm trying to follow documentation and the error seems similar to what was posted. You are correct running the safe directory resolved the issue, but it seems like a bug or documentation may be missing

[brianfeucht]

If anyone finds this later my solution is:

jobs:
 build:
   runs-on: ubuntu-latest
   steps:
     - uses: actions/checkout@v3
     - uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
       with:
         flutter-version: '3.3.10'
     - run: |
        git config --global --add safe.directory /opt/hostedtoolcache/flutter/stable-3.3.10-x64
        flutter build bundle

I am going to use this as a workaround, but I feel like this shouldn't even happen, anyway.

[nicopico-dev]

You can use the outputs from flutter-action to "automate" the workaround:

jobs:
 build:
   runs-on: ubuntu-latest
   steps:
     - uses: actions/checkout@v3
     - uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
       id: flutter-action
       with:
         architecture: x64
     - run: |
        git config --global --add safe.directory /opt/hostedtoolcache/flutter/${{ steps.flutter-action.outputs.CHANNEL }}-${{ steps.flutter-action.outputs.VERSION }}-${{ steps.flutter-action.outputs.ARCHITECTURE }}
        flutter --version

Of note, on Apple M1, I noticed I had to specify the flutter architecture and run act --container-architecture linux/amd64 to make it work
