Flutter Null Safety Migration

I am trying to migrate my project to Flutter Null Safety Version and I am following this official migration guide.

When I run the second command it says
Package doesn't exist (the Flutter SDK is not available).

Command I ran

me@My-MacBook-Air my_project % dart --version
Dart SDK version: 2.12.0 (stable) (Thu Feb 25 19:50:53 2021 +0100) on "macos_x64"
me@My-MacBook-Air my_project % dart pub outdated --mode=null-safety
Package doesn't exist (the Flutter SDK is not available).

Flutter Doctor Output

me@My-MacBook-Air my_project % `flutter doctor -v`

Try flutter pub outdated --mode=null-safety, should display the the migration state of your package’s dependencies.

Can't see anything obvious here, the command is just a lookup you can still check all dependencies on pub.dev manual when all the packages support null safety and the other commands are working you should be fine.

I only have one idea the beta channel should be fine in most cases, but switch to stable if nothing works

flutter channel stable

make sure you run flutter upgrade

First run:

dart pub outdated --mode=null-safety

and to upgrade your packages to null-safe variant, run:

dart pub upgrade --null-safety
