This appears to be similar to https://github.com/simolus3/drift/issues/3168 and https://github.com/simolus3/drift/issues/3163.

Basically, it looks like your code has been generated by drift_dev version 2.20.0 but is running against drift version 2.19.x. I don't exactly understand how that's possible since drift_dev has a dependency on the same minor drift version, but I think you can fix it by either:

• Making sure you're not on drift_dev version 2.20.x and re-running build_runner build to generate code compatible with drift version 2.19.x.
• Upgrading drift to 2.20.0 and keeping the generated code unchanged.

This is possible if database code is in the local package.

My main app resolves its drift_dev version to 2.19.1 until I forcefully run pub get despite my package using 2.20.1. In my case it couldn't update drift_dev version automatically as some other package depends on web <0.6.0.

This is because of conflicting versions of drift. I had to get into pub-cache (~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/) and manually delete the older versions of drift.
