Full context https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/148004 TL;DR 1. Because `package:macros` depends on `package:_macros` via [a Dart SDK dependency](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/main/pkg/macros/pubspec.yaml#L13); and 2. `package:macros` exactly pins `package:_macros`; and 3. Each new version of `package:macros` will increment its exact pin of `package:_macros` ([comment](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/148004#issuecomment-2103099893)); and 4. The [flutter/flutter](https://github.com/flutter/flutter) repository exactly pins the Dart SDK (via its exact pin on the [flutter/engine](https://github.com/flutter/engine) repository Therefore, the [flutter/flutter](https://github.com/flutter/flutter) repository effectively pins both `package:macros` and `package:_macros` already (as in, there exists only a single version of each that pub will successfully be able to solve within the context of a particular Flutter SDK). Therefore, it is safe for [flutter/flutter](https://github.com/flutter/flutter) repository to *not* pin `package:macros`, which will allow engine -> framework rolls that contain a new Dart SDK that contains a new `package:_macros` version to land automatically, provided all tests pass.
This directory contains tools and resources that the Flutter team uses during the development of the framework. The tools in this directory should not be necessary for developing Flutter applications, though of course, they may be interesting if you are curious.
The tests in this directory are run in the framework_tests_misc-*
shards.
