pub hangs "Loading source assets"

[Daniel Davidson]

What is the fix for this? I'm using Dart VM version: 1.13.0-dev.7.10 but it happens for me on Dart VM version: 1.12.2  as well.

I have multiple projects. This pubspec hangs.  I've found suggestion of fixing by removing pub-cache. 

If I remove ~/.pub-cache it might help one project. But then the others hang as well.

Is there a known workaround?

Also, what does "Loading source assets" mean?

I use drone for some of my projects and it never has issues. Is that because it only pulling in one project on a fresh setup is not a problem but multiple is?

Here is the pubspec that consistently hangs on me. It does have a git reference. That referred project on my local drive will pub update just fine.

If I comment out that one it works. So somehow it is this git reference I think.

Ok - I found out what it takes to get past the "Loading source assets" hang.

In addition to removing the pub-cache and packages it is important to remove any/all packages soft links.

rm -rf ~/.pub-cache

rm -rf $PROJ/packages

rm -rf $PROJ/.packages

rm -rf $PROJ/.pub

rm -rf $PROJ/pubspec.lock

           ##### Assumes only soft links are packages 

find $PROJ -type l | xargs rm
