Hi, I’m trying to generate a RealmModel by following this guide.
I ran flutter pub run realm generate, but it fails with an error pub finished with exit code 255.
I do not see any more logs nor stacktrace. Do you know what code 255 stands for and how i can fix it?


Ran on: M1 Macbook | Flutter 3.3.8 | Dart 2.18.4 | realm ^0.7.0+rc
What I’ve done:

  • Restart the terminal
  • Restart the computer
  • Update macOS to the latest one (13.0.1)
  • Update Flutter and Dart to the latest one (Flutter 3.3.8, Dart 2.18.4)

Repro Steps

  1. Add the code snippet below (RealmModels.dart) to a flutter project
  2. Run flutter pub run realm generate
  3. I get an error pub finished with exit code 255

Code Snippet
/lib/Functions/Realm/RealmModels.dart

import 'package:realm/realm.dart'; part 'RealmModels.g.dart'; @RealmModel() class _Chatroom { @PrimaryKey() late final String id; late List<String> users; }

There’s a red line under part 'RealmModels.g.dart';, which says “Target of URI hasn’t been generated: ‘‘RealmModels.g.dart’’. Try running the generator that will generate the file referenced by the URI.”

Relevant Log Output
% flutter pub run realm generate
pub finished with exit code 255

Hi @Desislava_St_Stefanova, I have the same problem:

when I try to generate the RealmObject Class with the command flutter pub run realm generate I received this error:

Unhandled exception: ProcessException: No such file or directory Command: dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs #0 _ProcessImpl._start (dart:io-patch/process_patch.dart:401:33) #1 Process.start (dart:io-patch/process_patch.dart:38:20) #2 GenerateCommand.run (package:realm/src/cli/generate/generate_command.dart:41:35) #3 CommandRunner.runCommand (package:args/command_runner.dart:209:27) #4 CommandRunner.run.<anonymous closure> (package:args/command_runner.dart:119:25) #5 new Future.sync (dart:async/future.dart:302:31) #6 CommandRunner.run (package:args/command_runner.dart:119:14) #7 main (package:realm/src/cli/main.dart:40:7) #8 main (file:///Users/***/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/realm-0.8.0+rc/bin/realm.dart:20:40) #9 _delayEntrypointInvocation.<anonymous closure> (dart:isolate-patch/isolate_patch.dart:295:32) #10 _RawReceivePortImpl._handleMessage (dart:isolate-patch/isolate_patch.dart:192:12) pub finished with exit code 255

This is the class that I want to generate the RealmObjectClass:

import 'package:realm/realm.dart'; part 'schemas.g.dart'; @RealmModel() class _Item { @MapTo('_id') @PrimaryKey() late ObjectId id; bool isComplete = false; late String summary; @MapTo('owner_id') late String ownerId; }

My configuration is:

realm: ^0.8.0+rc
Flutter version 3.3.8 Dart version 2.18.4 DevTools version 2.15.0

I tried both with the test app that provides Realm and on a new project.
Thank for your help!

Hi @Omar_Quattrin ,
welcome to MongoDB forum!
This error happened on my environment only when I had already a generated file and I tried to change the model and to regenerate. But after I deleted the old file I was able to generate the new model.
But it seems that you received that error even in a new project on your first generate.
Did you have the same issue like @Shawn_L1 running pod install?
Could you share some more details about your environment and the commands that you run?
Thank you!

Hi @Desislava_St_Stefanova thank you for the answer.
Yes, I’m receiving the error even in a new project on my first generate.
I tried to running pod install (I hadn’t opened the iOS project yet) but if I try to rerun the command I received the same error.

I’m using Android Studio (Dolphin | 2021.3.1 Patch 1) on Mac with macOS Monterey (version 12.6) and the following configuration of flutter:

The command that 'm unsing for generate the RealmObject is:

flutter pub run realm generate

and the error I’m getting is:

Unhandled exception: ProcessException: No such file or directory Command: dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs #0 _ProcessImpl._start (dart:io-patch/process_patch.dart:401:33) #1 Process.start (dart:io-patch/process_patch.dart:38:20) #2 GenerateCommand.run (package:realm/src/cli/generate/generate_command.dart:41:35) #3 CommandRunner.runCommand (package:args/command_runner.dart:209:27) #4 CommandRunner.run.<anonymous closure> (package:args/command_runner.dart:119:25) #5 new Future.sync (dart:async/future.dart:302:31) #6 CommandRunner.run (package:args/command_runner.dart:119:14) #7 main (package:realm/src/cli/main.dart:40:7) #8 main (file:///Users/***/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/realm-0.8.0+rc/bin/realm.dart:20:40) #9 _delayEntrypointInvocation.<anonymous closure> (dart:isolate-patch/isolate_patch.dart:295:32) #10 _RawReceivePortImpl._handleMessage (dart:isolate-patch/isolate_patch.dart:192:12) pub finished with exit code 255

Thanks for your help!

Yes, I had the problem described in this thread when I used the command pod install

Unable to install vendored xcframework `realm_dart` for Pod `realm`, because it contains both static and dynamic frameworks.

but I resolved this, instead my problem remained. :frowning:

I had also try to use Visual Studio Code instead Android Studio but no difference.

Hi, same for me too.
I thought I solved it by successfully installing the package, but I still couldn’t successfully run flutter pub run realm generate.

For me, I tried running flutter clean and flutter pub get multiple times, but no luck.
+Fyi, there was no .g.dart file in the expected location, so that wouldn’t have caused the issue.

I tried to make

flutter pub add build_runner
flutter pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

and this is the result:

After that I tried to running flutter pub run realm generate and I got the same error.

Hi @Oleksii_Moisieienko in my pubspec.yaml I don’t find generate:true in the flutter section

Great!
So @Omar_Quattrin you have already the models generated, right? As I see the output “Succeeded after 17.3s with 2 outputs” - your .g.dart files must be there.
You can use flutter pub run build_runner build as a workaround for now.
We will try to figure out the issue with flutter pub run realm generate for some of the next releases.
@Shawn_L1 does this work for you flutter pub run build_runner build?

YES!! The file .g.dart was generated with flutter pub run build_runner build !

Thank you
