This example works as expected for me (note though that you will also have to make the field nullable or give it a default value).

Does it work if you use the `build` method instead of the `watch` method? Possibly your file system is non-standard and doesn't support file watching?

Some of those dependencies definitely do use temp directories - but they should be cleaning them up. Can you look at your temp directory and see if you have anything...

@rental-ninja if you look in those other directories that are just a random sequence of 10 characters, what do you see in them? What about the `~*.tmp` directories?

Unfortunately the `watcher` api doesn't let you exclude a specific directory, so we currently watch the entire root package and then filter out the file events for things that don't...

What if we moved the `.dart_tool/build/generated` directory to some other place and just had a symlink to it sort of like bazel-out? That might solve a lot of issues.

> We could move it to somewhere under the user's home directory - not sure if we'd need the symlink. Ya I think the home dir is probably the most...

`import 'dart:io' show Platform;` This is the part that is the problem. You can follow https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/39998 for updates.

Hmm, is this reproducible or did it just happen once? It seems like a possible kernel bug.

closing this for now, assuming it is stale. please respond with more info if it is still a problem
