[flutter_tools] "Unknown flutter tag" crash during `flutter upgrade` #133441

dotupNET · 2023-08-28T08:56:21Z

Edit by @christopherfujino This is a bug in the tool. Currently known safe workarounds to upgrade are to:

flutter upgrade --force
change your terminal's working directory to your Flutter SDK repo (you can find this under flutter doctor -v), then run flutter upgrade

Two hotfixes are currently being worked on, however, users will still need to use these workarounds to get them:

[CP] Fix flutter upgrade failing with "Unknown Flutter tag" on stable 3.13 #133819
[CP] Fix flutter upgrade failing with "Unknown Flutter tag" on beta 3.14 #133822

A postmortem report on this is forthcoming.

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues
I have read the guide to filing a bug

Steps to reproduce

Run "flutter upgrade" on 3.13.0 stable

Actual results

I got this error:

Unknown flutter tag. Abandoning upgrade to avoid destroying local changes. It is recommended to use git directly if not working on an official channel.

No response

Hi @dotupNET. Thanks for filing this. Please try running flutter upgrade --force instead to see it works in your case

Hi @dotupNET. Thanks for filing this. Please try running flutter upgrade --force instead to see it works in your case

Hi. I know this Flag. But this is not the expected behaviour. I didn't change anything.

mjauernig · 2023-08-28T14:37:33Z

Same error here. Like @dotupNET didn't change anything. With --force the upgrade where installed.

daachet · 2023-08-28T16:16:52Z

I have the same error and didn't change anything. Trying to update 3.13.0 stable.

sorich87 · 2023-08-28T17:58:31Z

I upgraded with --force but wanted to report I unexpectedly got the same error too, as I didn't make local changes (I installed 3.13.0 from scratch a couple of weeks ago).

MHTpro · 2023-08-28T19:11:21Z

I have the same error and didn't change anything. And I upgraded with this command: flutter upgrade -f

pastelcode · 2023-08-28T23:46:26Z

Same error. Could upgrade with flutter upgrade --force.

MikeAngelE · 2023-08-29T00:33:32Z

Having the same issue. Flutter doesn't seem to want to build the app on the Pixel_3a emulator until the upgrade is done?

danagbemava-nc · 2023-08-29T08:01:22Z

Hi all, with the release of 3.13.1, can anyone check if they hit this issue when they try to upgrade?

leidig54 · 2023-08-29T08:04:49Z

Just tried and no luck for me.

Unknown flutter tag. Abandoning upgrade to avoid destroying local changes. It is recommended to use git directly if not working on an official channel.

@danagbemava-nc ,

Hi all, with the release of 3.13.1, can anyone check if they hit this issue when they try to upgrade?

After flutter upgrade --force from 3.13.0 to 3.13.1 , flutter upgrade working as expected

TheManuz · 2023-08-29T13:31:37Z

Facing the same problem.

Solved with flutter upgrade --force.

smunoz-ml · 2023-08-29T15:52:31Z

Same error. Could upgrade with flutter upgrade --force.

ahmeedev · 2023-08-29T17:44:16Z

yeah, that works

Gufdoor · 2023-08-29T18:59:59Z

I did the following and it worked (credits for Lano):

On the directory where Flutter is located:

Open terminal
If your current Flutter version isn't stable, run the following: git checkout stable
Later, run the following: git pull
Check your current version: flutter --version
If still not on latest version, run: flutter upgrade

Hope it works!

denn319 · 2023-08-30T07:24:21Z

flutter upgrade --force works for me.

dam-ease · 2023-08-30T07:39:29Z

Hi everyone, thanks for your responses. I am able to reproduce this same behaviour on the stable channel, but can't reproduce it on master. Upgrade works after running flutter upgrade --force.

Hi @dotupNET. Thanks for filing this. Please try running flutter upgrade --force instead to see it works in your case

yes --force works but as reported earlier, there is a new bug which throws the reported error if you do not use --force,
Unknown flutter tag. Abandoning upgrade to avoid destroying local changes. It is recommended to use git directly if
not working on an official channel. This came with the upgrade to 3.13.0

beyond this, the 3.13.0 came with other bugs yet to be resolved: (though resolved and merged to Master, it is yet to be in the stable, hope it is also tested: [https://github.com/firebase/flutterfire/pull/11514]

danagbemava-nc · 2023-08-31T06:47:15Z

I want to point out that this also happens with the upgrade from 3.13.1 to 3.13.2

For me the upgrade worked when running it in the flutter install directory.
It did not work when running it in the directory of my flutter aplication.

It appears to me that it fails when running the upgrade command in the directory of my flutter application when my flutter application has uncommitted files.

Same issue when upgrading to 3.13.2. I'm pretty use I used flutter upgrade to get 3.13.1 version.

I had the same error when trying to upgrade to 3.13.2 from 3.13.0.

@christoph-zenger-hcsg Thanks for the suggestion.

Running flutter upgrade from the flutter directory works, but fails from any other directory.

For me the upgrade worked when running it in the flutter install directory. It did not work when running it in the directory of my flutter aplication.

It appears to me that it fails when running the upgrade command in the directory of my flutter application when my flutter application has uncommitted files.

Ahh, thanks for this clue! This whole time my current working directory when I run flutter upgrade has been within the Flutter SDK repo, thus I could not reproduce. I'm investigating now, but it seems like I introduced a git callsite and forgot to set the working directory explicitly to the Flutter repo.

Fixes #133441

WorikQCI · 2023-08-31T22:33:27Z

Still not working.

Is this a problem in:

Flutter 3.13.0 • channel stable • https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git
Framework • revision efbf63d9c6 (2 weeks ago) • 2023-08-15 21:05:06 -0500
Engine • revision 1ac611c64e
Tools • Dart 3.1.0 • DevTools 2.25.0

so to upgrade I do what exactly?

christopherfujino · 2023-08-31T22:35:43Z

Unfortunately you will need to either do a flutter upgrade --force or change your working directory to the Flutter repo. My fix will not apply for you until AFTER you get it.

Also note, that I haven't cherrypicked the fix to stable yet. So even if you use the workaround today, you will still need to use the workaround for the next hotfix release to get the fix.

WorikQCI · 2023-08-31T23:57:09Z

Ok.

It is what it is.

Thank you for your attention
