void writeDartVersion(Directory directory, String version)

Does nothing if the file does not exist.

Implementation

static void writeDartVersion(
  final Directory directory,
  final String version,
) {
  final file = File(p.join(directory.path, _fileName));
  if (!file.existsSync()) return;

  final String content;
  try {
    content = file.readAsStringSync();
  } catch (_) {
    return;
  }

  final lines = content.split('\n');
  var found = false;
  final updated = lines.map((final line) {
    final trimmed = line.trim();
    if (trimmed.startsWith('#') || trimmed.isEmpty) return line;
    final parts = trimmed.split(RegExp(r'\s+'));
    if (parts.length >= 2 && parts[0] == 'dart') {
      found = true;
      return 'dart $version';
    }
    return line;
  }).toList();

  if (!found) {
    final insertAt = updated.isNotEmpty && updated.last.isEmpty
        ? updated.length - 1
        : updated.length;
    updated.insert(insertAt, 'dart $version');
  }

  file.writeAsStringSync(updated.join('\n'));
