title: How do I fix "No pubspec.yaml file found" in flutter?
body: <p>I am using Windows 10 with VS Code, although I also tested it on PowerShell, and both produced the same result:</p>
  
  <p>After creating a new flutter program, before editing anything, I tried to run it on my phone, as the <a href="https://flutter.io/get-started/test-drive/#vscode" rel="noreferrer">Tutorial Says</a>, but I get an error saying "No pubspec.yaml file found". I thought that the issue must be that the default new app setup having an issue, so I used the "flutter_gallery" example. However, this had the exact same issue. I have reinstalled flutter, installed dart 2 on its own, deleted .pub-cache, but nothing works. I tried Googling the issue, but I couldn't find anything.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I am running the commands from the root directory of the flutter project, where the pubspec.yaml file is, but I still get an error. The full error message is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error: No pubspec.yaml file found.
  This command should be run from the root of your Flutter project.
  Do not run this command from the root of your git clone of Flutter.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>here is the result of running <code>dir</code> from the root of the project:</p>

  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> I still don't know what caused the problem, but when I reinstalled flutter for Beta 3, it finally worked.</p>
