Confusing error message from flutter tools when verifying a broken Android Studio version. #70216
Closed as duplicate of#61246
Description
#69517 Steps to Reproduce
- Create a broken Android Studio client with missing permissions to the Java version.
- Run flutter doctor
You will get the error
null. The flutter tool cannot access the file or directory.
Please ensure that the SDK and/or project is installed in a location that has
read/write permissions for the current user.
This is related to the following line in flutter_tools https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/android/android_studio.dart#L355
The message would be clearer if we instead indicated the specific directory with invalid permissions so a user could fix it /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
