Flutter build gives a .pub-cache cloud firestore error

Issue

I don't recall changing anything besides attempting to run a StreamBuilder using cloud firestore, then this error below started to appear. I commented the Streambuilder but nothing is changing.

**Steps i have taken:

1. Ran flutter pub cache repair
2. Ran flutter clean
3. Removed cloud firestore package then called pub get and then added it again and run pub get once more.**

Packages versions: firebase_core: ^0.7.0 cloud_firestore: ^0.16.0

UPDATE 1: The streams that are currently commented but i had called before the error appeared.

     Future<List<QuerySnapshot>> displayLocations() async {
        final List<DocumentSnapshot> documents = [];
        _firebaseFirestore
            .collection('locations')
            .get()
            .then((QuerySnapshot querySnapshot) => {
                  querySnapshot.docs.forEach((doc) {
                    documents.add(doc);
                    return documents;
                  })
                });
      }


 @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return StreamBuilder<QuerySnapshot>(
      stream: FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('locations').snapshots(),
      builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<QuerySnapshot> snapshot) {
        if (snapshot.hasError) {
          return Text('Something went wrong');
        }

        if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting) {
          return Text("Loading");
        }

        return ListView(
          children: snapshot.data.docs.map((DocumentSnapshot document) {
            return ListTile(
              title: Text(
                  document.data()['locationName'] ?? 'Unable to retrieve data'),
            );
          }).toList(),
        );
      },
    );
  }

Solution

The solution that worked for me as proposed here https://github.com/Dart-Code/Dart-Code/issues/2172 is to:

1. Delete the .dart_tool file which you'll find inside your project

2. Go to pubspec.yaml and pub get.
