Reproduction Steps: Running a Sample Flutter App on Web (Web Server)
Update Flutter to 3.32.0 and Dart to 3.8.0
1. Create a New Flutter App
flutter create sample_app
cd sample_app2. Run the App on Web Using Web Server (Port 7456)
flutter run -d web-server --web-port=74563. Access the App in Your Browser
- Open your browser and navigate to:
http://localhost:7456
5. Expected Result
- The Flutter counter app should load in your browser, served by the Flutter web server on port 7456.
- The Dart Debug extension in chrome should automatically activate, and allowing user to continue with development properly.
6. Current Result
- The Dart Debug extension does not activate when running with the web server, so debugging features are unavailable.
Run Flutter web app using:
flutter run -d web-server --web-hostname localhost --web-port 7357
Attempt to debug using Dart Debug extension on Chrome
Observe debug extension is disabled in extensions, so failing to attach or respond
Expected Behavior:
Dart Debug extension should work as before (not disabled) and attach to the running Flutter web app for debugging.
Actual Behavior:
Dart Debug extension fails to function after update.
