Web support - example does not work

[f3ath]

Can you show the exact code you're trying to run in a browser? The example uses dart:io which can't be run in web.

@f3ath I am trying to use dart:html but not sure if anyone has done it.

[f3ath]

Please show the exact code you're trying to run. Otherwise it's very hard to tell what the issue may be. The "Unsupported operation: _Namespace" errors looks very much like an attempt to use dart:io stuff in web which is not supported.

@f3ath When using example code as in the repo is producing the error in flutter web. I just copied the example code:

final file = File('CHANGELOG.md');
final log = parseChangelog(file.readAsStringSync());
final latest = log.history().last;

I'm wondering how do we use it with flutter web. I have the CHANGELOG.md at the root of the repo.

[f3ath]

The class File is from dart:io, it is not possible to use it in web directly.

[jobypthomas]

@f3ath Any thoughts as to how to do it in flutter web?

[f3ath]

You might want to use the read function from the http package.
