Flutter 5 package not published

• I have searched through existing issues.
• I can reproduce the issue with the latest version of Parse Server and the Parse Flutter SDK.

Issue Description

It seems that publishing the Parse Flutter SDK 5.0.0 fails to publish to pub.dev:

Validating package...
Connection closed before full header was received

It may have something to do with changes made to the package that make the validation fail on pub dev side, because validation works for publishing the Parse Dart SDK, so it seems not a network issue. Or it could be a bug in the GitHub Action plugin k-paxian/dart-package-publisher@v1.5.1.

Steps to reproduce

Probably the request timed out. I tested it and didn't get an error. Is it possible to run it again?

Also, some commands have been deprecated

The "format" command is deprecated. Please use the "dart format" sub-command instead, which has the same command-line usage as "flutter format".

I will do more research when I come home.

If I understand correctly if the problem is a pub validation then the package will be published and pub dev will show an 'analysis issue' label and will tell us what went wrong. We can see the validation/analysis errors in the points/score section on the package page. So I do think it's a validation error. I have seen this problem before it always means a connection error.

Can try to rerun the CI job?

And if that doesn't work can you try to publish it manually from your PC?

i run dart pub publish --dry-run
There was no problem

Ran it 4 times with the same error. If it works locally for you then it may be an issue with the publish plugin we're using in GH Actions. I already upgraded to the latest version yesterday.

When you run dry run locally, do you see the same output as we see in GH Actions? I'm trying to understand whether this "Validating packages..." is from dart publish or from the plugin we're using.

No. My output is as follows

It may be a plug-in issue then.

Maybe we should try to use firehose, which seems to be a dart tool for the same purpose?

There are also docs now that describe how to automate publishing from GH Actions.

[Nidal-Bakir]

It's probably a plugin issue.

We should use the recommended solution by the Flutter team publishing packages using github actions

@mtrezza Are you available at the moment? I'm going to open a pull request that requires your involvement because you are the admin/author of the packages
