flutter-intellij: Hot Reload On Save stops working

I love talking to robots.

I’m having exactly the same issue; Hot reload works when hitting Ctrl-\ or the yellow lightning, but isn’t triggered when I save. Android Studio 3.4.2, Flutter 1.5.4-hotfix.2

IntelliJ Dart Plugin: v183.6270 IntelliJ Flutter Plugin: v37.1.1

I am having this issue.

Several people are still reporting this, the no-response bot shouldn’t close it.

I’m having the same issue with hot reloading not working. I’ll add that it usually happens when I play with the ‘Inspect Widge’ tool from the Flutter Inspector. As far as I can tell, selecting an element, changing code, hot reloading, possibly twice, will make that issue appear.

I’m on master/1.7.4-pre.80

This will go out with the next milestone release, at the end of the month (you can check our milestones in github).

It’s a speculative fix, since I was only able to get the issue to repro once, but I have high hopes for the fix.

I have this issue and it happens EVERY TIME I have to stop the app by clicking the red STOP button on the top of the Intellij screen.

I am on Windows 10 with 2019.3 Intellij (but it also happened on older versions). Only a full restart is enough to make it work back.

My version is 1.12.13+hotfix.5 on stable channel

We may have a solution for the IntelliJ issue. The VS Code one is separate, and is better tracked at https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/46616.

Thanks for all the reports. I have since experienced this once myself as well, but was unable to diagnose the cause. We’ll keep this issue open until we have some resolution.

I have no Rainbow Brackets. I’m on Linux, Android, IntelliJ 2019.2.

Created a project from console, then installed all the plugins and opened that project. No reload on save, even after restart of IJ. Works fine in VSCode. Ctrl + \ works fine, but after getting used to automatic reload this feels suboptimal (how easily we are spoiled by the good stuff).

I think this is the steps I’ve taken to get this error:

1. Work on a project
2. Hot reload my way to success
3. Cause a Code error (syntax error, etc)
4. Hit Ctrl+S to hot reload cus I didn’t see the error
5. Hot reload throws some odd exception
6. Hot reload appears to work one more time
7. Then stops working
8. Terminate the process and start over

That said, I was also experiencing this issue on Flutter 1.2.1 and I’ve just upgraded to master to try the fix. I haven’t seen the issue the last day or so: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/29232

I’ll keep an eye on it and see if it’s working now that some underlying bugs may have been addressed.

One curious thing, I don’t have IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition (version 2018.2) in my system anymore, I don’t know where the Flutter Tool gets this from.

It appears you updated 2018.1.5 to 2018.2 and it was left in the installation directory for 2018.1.5. (Happens to me, too.) If you launch the product from C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1.5 and check the about box I think you’ll see it is version 2018.2.

@brianegan Could you summarize your issue?
