When you see the error message “process ‘command ‘c:\src\flutter\bin\flutter.bat” finished with non-zero exit value 1″, it means that the command you executed did not complete successfully. An exit value of 1 typically indicates an error or failure within the command.
Let’s break down the error message for better understanding:
- process: This refers to the running process or command.
- command: The specific command that was executed. In this case, it is ‘c:\src\flutter\bin\flutter.bat’.
- finished: Indicates that the process has completed execution.
- non-zero exit value: An exit value of 1 means that the command encountered an issue or error during execution.
- 1: The actual exit value that indicates failure. Different exit values may represent different types of errors.
To better understand the problem, you should inspect the output and any accompanying error messages. These messages can provide valuable information about the cause of the error. It could be related to a variety of factors, such as incorrect syntax, missing files, dependencies issues, or other application-specific problems.
Here’s an example scenario to illustrate the above error message:
process 'command 'c:\src\flutter\bin\flutter.bat'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
Error: Unable to find 'main.dart' file in project directory.
In this example, the error occurred because the ‘flutter run’ command was executed in a Flutter project directory, but the ‘main.dart’ file was missing. Without the main file, the execution failed, resulting in a non-zero exit value of 1.
