Pub is writing empty files in packages folders

[Florian d'Erfurth]

Hi, got a problem since one hour: all my projects broke in DartEditor during a pub upgrade.

I found out that most of the dart files present in the packages folders were empty. I've deleted my projects packages folders, ran pub upgrade again and I keep getting 0kb files.

So I've changed some dependencies in pubspec.yaml to use git repos instead of pub hosted files, now those dependencies are installed properly.

Is there a way to clean pub's cache? Could this be a pub server issue?

I'm using pub 1.3.3 on windows 7 x64

Yes. This tells you where the cache is. You can just delete the "hosted" directory under there and then run "pub get" on your packages to re-download the stuff.

I just, like a few days ago, added a new "pub cache repair" command that will do this more gracefully. It will be in the next dev release.

That's unlikely. When this happens, it usually some program that followed a symlink into your packages directory and then started changing stuff in your cache.

Cheers!

Deleting the directory did it! Thanks :)
