image pick is not supported in Web

[MohammedSalehelShazly]

My issue is about Web platform

I have tried running [flutter_quill example] (https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill/tree/master/example)
The error occurred in ### getApplicationDocumentsDirectory

  Future<String> onImagePickCallback(File file) async {
    // Copies the picked file from temporary cache to applications directory
    final appDocDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
    final copiedFile =
        await file.copy('${appDocDir.path}/${basename(file.path)}');
    return copiedFile.path.toString();
  }

i'm user latest version of flutter and of the plugin
flutter 3.3.4, flutter_quill: ^6.0.8+1

any other solution?

Still issue on flutter 3.3.7 and flutter_quill 6.1.3

This.
This won't ever work on the web because path_provider does not support it.
So, it fails when calling getApplicationDocumentsDirectory().

Using universal_io might work to create a file from the array of bytes of the chosen image file.

I think this is a old issue, there's no need for universal_io, flutter_quill already has a webImagePickImpl property, also universal_io doesnt work for that. https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill/blob/5dca6008cde707beb46291b6fbf71af6dbbf7bfb/example/lib/pages/home_page.dart#L272C29

Still, using the https://pub.dev/packages/cross_file will be better that ask for a webImplementation.

[LuchoTurtle]

@hectorAguero sure, cross_file might be a better option. But uploading images does not work on the web when running the example app, even when webImagePickImpl is initialized.
This is because onImagePickCallback is called after the callback the code is executed in webImagePickImpl. So, the file that you return from webImagePickImpl will be passed on to onImagePickCallback 😞
