Dynatrace flutter plugin error

[rodrigobastosv]

I was unable to make Dynatrace work with the latest version from pub.dev.

I followed all the steps of the documentation, but I'm getting this error while starting the app:

I am pretty sure there is something wrong with the method channel implementation of the plugin.

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to read from field 'boolean com.dynatrace.android.agent.conf.Configuration.autoStart' on a null object reference in method 'void com.dynatrace.android.agent.DynatraceMethodCallHandler.onMethodCall(io.flutter.plugin.common.MethodCall, io.flutter.plugin.common.MethodChannel$Result)'

Hi Rodrigo,

This error sounds like auto instrumentation didnt happen. Did you execute the CLI command, so your configuration gets written into the gradle file?

Hey Matthias, thanks for the reply. 

I don't know whats that CLI command. I saw nothing about that on the Flutter Documentation here: https://pub.dev/packages/dynatrace_flutter_plugin

All i did was store the dynatrace yaml file on the root folder of the project like it was written in the documentation.

[matthias_hochri · Accepted solution]

I meant the command "flutter pub run dynatrace_flutter_plugin".

OMG. I completed missed this step on the documentation. So sorry.

Now everything is working fine! Thanks a lot!
