Leave it to win32 to have "ERROR_MORE_DATA".

Things I didn't think I would be doing: writing Win32 FFI code.

"But don't you want to play with me?"

... I'm a filthy hacker and I use Blender + CAD Sketchup + Geometry Nodes.... waaaaaay more work than its worth.

Then I switched to FreeCAD for a bit.

CAD as Code though? 🤯

Granted - this is for main channel of Flutter... but I was considering something like this for flutter-stable and flutter-beta; just package all the tools in a docker image (or multiple depending on what you want, e.g. web only). Rather than downloading the whole git repo.

This is the composable action:
github.com/flutter/flut...

It was used in this test to run the tools test; but I disabled it because it doesn't work for engine builds:

github.com/flutter/flut...

I'll dig up the workflow script we have. Iirc I made it with with ACT as well as GH.

Any details? I've been considering building / publishing docker images for actions.

Blueprints should implement "copyWith" · Issue #13 · jtmcdole/hierarchical-state-machine.dart Blueprints are currently immutable. This makes sense if you have a library that supports handing out blueprints and you don't want them accidently modified for future calls. However, if you want to...

As I've slowly migrated some projects to the HSM; I found myself needed a few more features; replace/copyWith:

HSM 2.2.1 released... why? While I have "stable" flutter running, I didn't use flutter_test till I started migration and hit the dreaded version pinning >:(

and of course I fudged it up with "sealed" and didn't see any problems with testing. <sigh> version 1.0.1 incoming

Let me know if you run into any issues. I wrote this a long time ago and have been carting it around in a private repo for a while. I did a clean it up pass, redone with callbacks (al'la changenotifier), and added the stream extension.

Replay streams are also a sneaky form of injection :)

core_bus | Dart package A lightweight, type-safe Event Bus for Dart with optional event replaying. Decouples asynchronous code with minimal overhead.

And the gathering and sharing of all the tools in my toolbox continues: core_bus (pronounced corvus) - const Events with type safety, no choke points, callbacks for performance and streams if you need'em. replayable events as well.

no deps either.

Machine Serialization · Issue #7 · jtmcdole/hierarchical-state-machine.dart Add serialization of state, including history. deferred events and data will require developer support for serializing data. care needs to be used to ensure all deferred and queued events maintain ...

Just added serialization to my hsm library. mostly handwritten.

Also added plantuml output. I want to support mermaid, but how do you write text inside the state blocks?

hierarchical_state_machine | Dart package A framework for building performant state machines similar to UML state charts. States are organized in parent/child relationships, allowing common event handling to be shared by more generic states.

HSM 2.0 published - now with nearly all the things I wanted years ago:

* Proper event deferral
* Deep and Shallow history
* Fork, Choice, Terminate, Final pseudo states
* Blueprints for composability + validation
* Performance: lca and paths precomputed
* PSSM tests

How is this the world we live in today?

Also, even with ~96% coverage - there is likely bugs. Report them or send a patch request.

I need to make a CONTRIBUTING doc...

I have a few more projects to release showing some full stack flutter/dart. I just needed this first.

Then Google launched Gemini CLI Conductor. I spent the last few weekends really trying to pull the spaghetti out of my old code and make it available in package form.

It's about 50/50 code to tests, with a lot of that being storage options. Take a look if you've got fullstack Flutter/Dart.

What's it say when the German media says your coat looks a little Nazi?
