No active package flutterfire_cli

Question

I have a Linux machine where I installed Flutter via Snap. I want to set up Crashlytics on my project. One of the steps is to install flutterfire_cli as stated here.

I have installed it a bit different via flutter pub global activate flutterfire_cli, which installed it under $HOME/snap/flutter/common/flutter/.pub-cache/bin. I added it in PATH. I can get the command on terminal.

However, flutterfire_cli fails (even with --help or --version) saying "No active package flutterfire_cli." and nothing else. I believe that's because Flutter is installed on a confined environment via Snap and it cannot find the path to load the libraries it needs to run.

Has anyone encountered such an issue? How did you solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have seen this issue and this comment helped me.

You need to do dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli instead of flutter pub global activate flutterfire_cli, add the line to your $HOME/.bashrc file:

export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"

Then restart the terminal.
