Should .packages files be auto-generated for pub packages cached from git?

The reason I'm asking it that I'm working on a package, actually flutter plugin and when I reference it local in my apps pubspec.yaml using path: everything works fine and I can see a .packages file being generated inside the local plugin workdir. Now if I now try to reference the plugin using git: in my apps pubspec, flutter pub get is happy BUT when I try to run the app, the build fails with an error mesg:

Launching lib/main.dart on XYZ in debug mode...
/home/maksimlin/.pub-cache/git/edit_exif-3c87efc135c1269b5961ff73696a19e988132ad7/.packages does not exist.
Did you run "flutter pub get" in this directory?


FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Script '/home/maksimlin/fvm/versions/dev/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/flutter.gradle' line: 896

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':edit_exif:compileFlutterBuildDebug'.
> Process 'command '/home/maksimlin/fvm/versions/dev/bin/flutter'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

and sure enough if I copy the .packages autogenerated file from my local plugin workdir into the the pub-cache location my app builds fine So is something broken with pub auto-generating .packages for cached from git packages? or have I done something wrong with my plugin?

Unfortunately I can't seem to find much (any) documentation on the usage of .package files, especially for cached packages.

It turns out that I mistakenly added some extra config to the plugins gradle config that caused this issue: ``` def localProperties = new Properties() def localPropertiesFile = rootProject.file('local.properties') if (localPropertiesFile.exists()) { localPropertiesFile.withReader('UTF-8') { reader -> localProperties.load(reader) } } def flutterRoot = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.sdk') if (flutterRoot == null) { throw new GradleException("Flutter SDK not found. Define location with flutter.sdk in the local.properties file.") } ``` - Maks

This is my .package file here you can see that there is every package that I have used to along with directory(file:///C:/Src/flutter is my directory).

.package is an autogenerated file so you can delete the older one and run flutter pub get so it will generate a newer one.
