Upgrade to newer flutter analyzer

[brookman]

Problem

The current version realm_generator 1.3.0 depends on an older version of the Flutter analyzer package.
This version contains regressions which are fixed in analyzer 6.0.0. The new version makes the code gen step of our project 400% faster again.

dependency_overrides does not work:

realm_generator-1.3.0/lib/src/field_element_ex.dart:190:25: Error: The getter 'enclosingElement3' isn't defined for the class 'FieldElement'.
 - 'FieldElement' is from 'package:analyzer/dart/element/element.dart' ('../../../caches/pub_cache/hosted/pub.dev/analyzer-6.0.0/lib/dart/element/element.dart').
Try correcting the name to the name of an existing getter, or defining a getter or field named 'enclosingElement3'.
      final modelSpan = enclosingElement3.span!;

Solution

Upgrade the dependency.

Hi @brookman!
Thanks for the reporting! We will definitely do that in some of the next releases.
I hope it is not a blocker for you.

@brookman Are you using flutter master channel?

The following minimal pubspec.yaml illustrates the problem with your request:

name: upgrade_analyzer
environment:
  sdk: '>=3.0.6 <4.0.0'

dependencies:
  analyzer: ^6.0.0
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter
  test: any # no version of test will work with analyzer ^6.0.0 and current flutter stable (3.10.6)

You will not be able resolve this with current stable version of flutter. I think it is a bit unacceptable for a package like realm to require people to use the master channel or stop using the test package 😄

That said, we will revisit on each new stable release of flutter.
