Update Existing Global Packages on Update of Dart
mohammed90 opened this issue · comments
Dart programs installed with pub global activate will not work after updates of Dart, complaining about kernel incompatibility. The fix is to do pub global activate {{package}} after every Dart update. It is less of a hassle for the end-user/developer to have them auto-updated once Dart is updated.
For posterity, I've been using this one-liner after Dart updates to update all installed global packages:
dart pub global list | awk '{system("dart pub global activate " $1)}'
