build_runner_hook 2.0.1

An analyzer plugin for automatically running build_runner

2.0.0

Added

• Configuration support via build_runner_hook.yaml file.
• Support for the build_filter option in the configuration, allowing users to specify exactly which files should be generated by the background build_runner process.
• Package-scoped process ownership so multiple IDE or analyzer instances can safely work on the same package without killing each other's build_runner process.
• A detached cleanup watchdog that removes orphaned package owners and stops build_runner when the last analyzer instance for a package exits.

Changed

• Simplified the shared process tracking logic and renamed the core registry to BuildRunnerTracker.
• Removed over-abstracted wrapper functions, type aliases, and complex dependency injection in favor of a straightforward implementation.
• Cleanup state and logs are now stored per package under the plugin temp directory (hook.log and build_runner.log) instead of using global files like brh.log or cleanup.log.
• Cleanup now runs through internal plugin code instead of requiring a package executable resolved from the user's project.
• Updated documentation and troubleshooting guides to reflect the new package-specific logging structure.

1.2.0

Added

• Dart workspace support. When the plugin detects a workspace, it starts build_runner watch --workspace from the workspace root.
• A build_runner dependency check before startup. The plugin now skips startup and logs a helpful message when build_runner is not available in the current analysis context.
• Separate log files for plugin lifecycle events and build_runner process output to make troubleshooting easier.

Changed

• Workspace and package detection now uses analyzer context information instead of relying only on raw filesystem paths.

1.1.0

Changed

• Removed hardcoded --delete-conflicting-outputs and --low-resources-mode flags from the build_runner watch command; the process now runs with default arguments only.
• Updated installation instructions and removed the configuration section from README.

1.0.0

Added

• Analyzer plugin that automatically starts build_runner watch in the background.
• Automatic process lifecycle management — starts on part directive detection, stops on analyzer shutdown.
• Structured logging of all build_runner stdout and stderr output to a log file (build_runner_hook.log in the system temp directory).
• --delete-conflicting-outputs and --low-resources-mode flags enabled by default.
• Example project demonstrating usage with dart_mappable.
