Cycle loading state error: LibraryContext.load2.loadBundle

The builder process I’ve been using with no problems is now breaking on watch. That is to say:

• It completes just fine with pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs (though it does warn me about missing required sources, though that has been fine to ignore for months).

  $ pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
  [INFO] Generating build script completed, took 337ms
  [WARNING] The package `edgehead` does not include some required sources in any of its targets (see their build.yaml file).
  The missing sources are:
    - $package$
  [INFO] Reading cached asset graph completed, took 120ms
  [INFO] Checking for updates since last build completed, took 512ms
  [INFO] Running build completed, took 16.0s
  [INFO] Caching finalized dependency graph completed, took 101ms
  [INFO] Succeeded after 16.2s with 43 outputs (250 actions)
  

• It also completes fine for the initial build of pub run build_runner watch --delete-conflicting-outputs

• But then, when it’s watching and I change the file, it breaks with the following:

$ pub run build_runner watch --delete-conflicting-outputs

I don’t have a minimal repro, but if you’re willing to try it out on the real thing:

1. git clone https://github.com/filiph/egamebook.git
2. cd egamebook/edgehead
3. pub get
4. pub run build_runner watch --delete-conflicting-outputs
5. Open any file in assets/text/Knights (e.g. this one) and make a whitespace change, then save

That should trigger the failure.

• Dart SDK Version (dart --version)

  • Dart SDK version: 2.9.0 (stable) (Fri Jul 31 10:59:48 2020 +0200) on “macos_x64”

• What package(s) from this repo you are using, and the version (i.e. build_runner 0.7.12)

  • build (transitive) 1.3.0
  • build_runner (direct dev) 1.10.1

• What builder(s) you are using (or writing yourself). Try to give a short summary of what they do.

  • I’m using my own runners that take text files and transpile them into dart files.
  • I’m also using built_value that runs both on manually-written Dart files as well as on the dart files generated in the previous step.

• Whether you are using Windows, MacOSX, or Linux (if applicable)

  • MacOSX

• Any other packages or constraints we should know about

  • You can look at the mono repo and its pubspecs here, but I don’t think there’s anything out of the ordinary.
