We decided that redefining the default for templates was premature. We're going to go back to having "module" in experimental land again, and we'll try again when we have the feature set fully baked.
This keeps the writing of the .metadata files, and writing the template type to them, because that was a good improvement, and there are still a bunch of added tests that improve our coverage.
This renames the "module" template to the "application" template, and makes "application" the default. The existing "app" template is now deprecated.
flutter create also now recognizes the type of project in an existing directory, and is able to recreate it without having the template type explicitly specified (although you can still do that). It does this now by first looking in the .metadata file for the new project_type field, and if it doesn't find that, then it looks at the directory structure. Also, the .metadata file is now overwritten even on an existing directory so that 1) the project_type can be added to legacy projects, and 2) the version of Flutter that updated the project last is updated.
I also cleaned up a bunch of things in create_test.dart, added many more tests, and added an example test to the test/ directory in the generated output of the application template.
Fixes#22530Fixes#22344
When creating a new project, the build fails with an error similar to:
"versionCode not found. Define flutter.versionCode in the local.properties file."
This puts developers in the untenable situation of having to edit a file with local paths, but being unable to check it in.
This changes the templates to default to using versionCode 1 and version "1.0" if they are not defined in the local.properties file.
Fixes#18983.
