After dart update, Intellij IDEA still with past version

Question

I had Dart 2.1 v, then i update with

 brew upgrade dart

After that i can check dart version:

 brew info dart

Everything its fine, now is 2.7 v. But when i want to create a new project on IntelliJ IDEA still with 2.1v, i know i need to change, but on preference options "languages & Frameworks" Dart is not there.

Answer 1

You don't have to/can not change the Dart version for new projects in IntelliJ settings. Just be sure to use the correct Dart SDK path (eg the SDK that you have updated to 2.7) when creating a new project.

In pubspec.yaml you can see that the Dart version is >= 2.0.0 && < 3.0.0, so the project always uses the Dart version of the specified SDK. Thus your projects will always use the latest version of Dart 2.x. All minor updates within version 2.x are backward compatible, so there is no problem to always use the latest version.
