Thanks for reporting this! I will need to do some digging into this one to see if there is any clever fix. This was still a problem with Envify, which this package is based on. For now the best piece of advice is to run flutter clean and then run the generator. I'm hoping there is a fix with the build or source_gen package to force a rebuild but I will have to do some searching.

If this happens simply run

flutter pub run build_runner clean

which will clean all the generated files and purge the code-gen caches. Then run

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

as you normally would.

This is something that the build library does not currently support. I am tracking this issue: dart-lang/build#967 If you know of a creative workaround you can make a pull request and I'd gladly review it! :)

I'm closing this issue as the root cause dart-lang/build#967 lies outside of this package and because a workaround has been provided.
