Versioning issues: generator broken completely, incompatibilities, limit ability to contribute

[jpohhhh]

I was trying to set up envied, and ran into an issue, and forked to contribute a fix. This unraveled into a series of related issues that I believe a maintainer / someone who can push to pub.dev has to resolve, as the root issue is the generator takes a dependency on the 0.5.0 version of envied, and that version was never published to pub.dev.

Notes:
Version issues causing incompatibilities

• envied 0.5.0 was never released [^1][^2]
• envied_generator in repo depends on envied 0.5.0
• envied_generator depends on older analyzer version, causing errors when flutter pub add is used in projects with dependencies using newer analyzer [^3]

Version issues limit ability to contribute

• fork repository to update this. run flutter pub get in //packages/envied_generator. Receive error that it depends on non-existent envied 0.5.0
• changing dependency to 0.3.0+ is presumably inappropriate because this repo is source of truth
• changing dependency to git based (i.e. [^5]) is inappropriate, gets lint that pub packages can't depend on git dependencies [^6]

Can't use git dependency

• Adding a dependency on the git version of envied_generator leads to error that envied_generator depends on non-existent pub version 0.5.0 of envied [^7]
• Adding a dependency on the git version of envied leads to an error that envied_generator depends on the pub version, and both can't be in the same app [^8]

[^1] 0.3.0+3 is current on pub.dev
[^2] failed deploys here: https://github.com/petercinibulk/envied/deployments
[^3] with dependency on riverpod_lint, run flutter pub add envied_generator, receive output:

Because envied_generator <0.2.3+1 depends on analyzer ^4.1.0 and envied_generator >=0.2.3+1 <0.3.0+1 depends
  on analyzer ^5.1.0, envied_generator <0.3.0+1 requires analyzer ^4.1.0 or ^5.1.0.
And because envied_generator >=0.3.0+1 <0.3.0+2 depends on analyzer ^5.12.0 and envied_generator >=0.3.0+2
  <0.3.0+3 depends on analyzer ^5.11.1, envied_generator <0.3.0+3 requires analyzer ^4.1.0 or >=5.1.0 <6.0.0.
And because envied_generator >=0.3.0+3 depends on analyzer ^5.1.0 and riverpod_lint >=2.2.1 depends on
  analyzer ^6.0.0, envied_generator is incompatible with riverpod_lint >=2.2.1.
So, because telosnex depends on both envied_generator any and riverpod_lint ^2.3.3, version solving failed.

[^4]

Resolving dependencies... 
Because envied_generator depends on envied ^0.5.0 which doesn't match any versions, version
  solving failed.


You can try the following suggestion to make the pubspec resolve:
* Consider downgrading your constraint on envied: flutter pub add envied:'^0.3.0+3'

[^5]

dependencies:
  envied:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/petercinibulk/envied
      ref: main
      path: packages/envied_generator/

[^6]

Publishable packages can't have 'git' dependencies.
Try adding a 'publish_to: none' entry to mark the package as not for publishing or remove the git dependency.dart(invalid_dependency)

[^7]

Because every version of envied_generator from git depends on envied ^0.5.0 which doesn't match any
  versions, envied_generator from git is forbidden.

[^8]

Because every version of envied_generator from git depends on envied from hosted and telosnex depends on
  envied from git, envied_generator from git is forbidden.

Hi,

This is a known issue and I have already made a PR #61 to address the release failure, however, it requires approval before it can be merged.

Until then, all you need to do is to use dependency_overrides, i.e.

dependencies:
  envied: ^0.3.0+3

dev_dependencies:
  envied_generator: ^0.3.0+3

dependency_overrides:
  envied:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/petercinibulk/envied
      ref: 0d08946199a7d50677cabee816296130d75bad99
      path: packages/envied/
  envied_generator:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/petercinibulk/envied
      ref: 0d08946199a7d50677cabee816296130d75bad99
      path: packages/envied_generator/

That will install everything.

P.S. You can use the same dependency_overrides trick to fix your analyzer issues.

@jpohhhh should be fixed now
