ng_placeholder’ (OS Error: The system cannot find the path specified. , errno = 3) – dart build

Recently we ended up with an issue with dart build. We had builds working fine on Windows. And I changed the name of my workspace to workspace-2021 to create a new one.  I put this folder in my documents folder.

And then the issues started. I started getting the below error.

ng_placeholder’ (OS Error: The system cannot find the path specified. , errno = 3)

I could fix this issue by taking out the workspace out of documents and put it directly under c: drive. And also removed ‘-‘ from the workspace name.

So fix for this issue was to make the path shorter by placing the workspace directly under c folder and also removing the special character from workspace.

Hopefully this will save someone’s painful encounter with this issue.
