How to generate files before running the workflow?

[adamsmaka]

Hello,

Can you tell me how can I execute generating a firebase_option.dart file before running that workflow?

I need to run echo '${{ secrets.FIREBASE_OPTIONS }}' | base64 --decode > lib/firebase_options.dart because otherwise analyzer doesn't want to go through.

Hello, I have the same issue with Freezed. I need to run flutter pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs before running the workflow.

If you have a way to work with Freezed please let me know!

We will look into this to see what possibilities there are to make this possible, if there are any.

It is a valid question and a good feature to support.

I managed to solve my problem by modifying the original flutter package workflow to my needs. Here is my version with added code generation under "Install dependencies" and "Analyze" sections.

I hope this helps!

I once created a pull request for that https://github.com/VeryGoodOpenSource/very_good_workflows/pull/43. Seems like it's not aligned with the internal VGV flow.

Here is the current up-to-date version with the changes from pr above https://github.com/eli1stark/very_good_workflows. I also added a generator for dart-only apps as well in the current version. You can provide bool argument to CI, true if you want to generate files and false if you don't.
