custom_lint does not work with pub workspaces

[Pante]

I have a lint that was working before migration to pub workspaces. After migrating to pub workspaces, the lints stopped working with the following log outputs:

• forui's output
• forui_internal_lint/testbed's output

It seems custom_lint is unable to find package_config.jsons. Looking in the respective .dart_tools folders, there are package_config_subsets but nopackage_config.jsons.

Any updates on this @rrousselGit? We think that custom_lint is a game-changer, and it's a shame that we can't use it with pub workspaces.

[rrousselGit]

No. I don't think I'll update Custom_lint for workspaces, as Google likely will release an official way to make plugins soon

[Pante]

I see, do you have any links to any design docs or other resources they have? Last I heard was them deprecating analyzer plugins altogether.

Is there a way to make custom_lint not look at the sub workspaces, only the root package?

I have precisely zero trust in a Google team to release a feature in a reasonable amount of time. @rrousselGit if I make a PR to add workspace support will you work with me on it? My intuition is this shouldn't be hard to implement.

[rrousselGit]

Sure! If you want to take care of it, that'd be lovely.

I just don't want to spend time on it when I could instead spend time on Freezed/Riverpod.
But that's definitely valuable in the short term

@rrousselGit The fix was indeed trivial and all tests pass

Confirmed that custom_lint: 0.7.5 works in my projects that are set up with Dart workspaces. Thanks for the help with this!
