Use fixed dependency for `opencv_core` and `opencv_dart`

[bdrmord002]

When running one of the linked demo programs using imencode() a dart::ffi DynamicLibrary.lookup error occurs.

Message: Failed to lookup symbol 'std_VecUChar_new_1': undefined symbol: std_VecUChar_new_1)

Environment: Google Pixel 8 Pro Emulator on Android 35 API

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Take a video on the Emulator
2. Checkout Videoio project tracked in https://github.com/rainyl/awesome-opencv_dart.git
3. Use the selection button.
4. Select the recorded video
5. Click the Start button to play.
6. Should see exception

Expected behavior
Expect same behavior as the cv::imencode function calls.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Google Pixel 8 Pro on Android 35 API
• ABI Version: x86_64

Additionally tried:

• inspecting the dll build that should be generated. Looks like symbol is exported
• adding doNotStrip in packageOptions for all .so files in build.gradle
• different encodings including JPEG

I encountered the same problem. I guess it was caused by the just-released dartcv4: 1.1.1. I used dartcv4: 1.0.1 override it and it became normal.
It was a temporary solution version

@bdrmord002 sorry for the late reply.

Oh, it's correct. opencv_core and opencv_dart depends dartcv4 via ^1.0.1 and dart pub get will use the latest version if there is no pubspec.lock, it will be depended by a fixed version in the next version, there are still some tests not finished.

For now, you can override dartcv4 with 1.0.1 as @zhponng suggested, refer to https://dart.dev/tools/pub/dependencies#dependency-overrides if you want to know how to override dependencies.

still getting the same issue after setting

dependency_overrides:
dartcv4: 1.0.1

neither 1.1.1 nor 1.1.2 worked either

i also tried directly using dartcv4 without using opencv_core. The error sill remains. I tested all released versions and all of them are broken. As i am shure that they worked in the past, i would expect that somehow the version of the dylib that all the relased versions use/download got corruped?

[rainyl]

@felix-ht I have tried with videoio example in https://github.com/rainyl/awesome-opencv_dart/tree/main/examples/videoio and it works, but with Flutter 3.27, some settings are required to be updated.

could you please run flutter clean and flutter pub get and show me the output?

remember to delete the pubspec.lock before running the above commands.

I may be late to reply since it's late at night here.

Edit:

I have pushed the changes to videoio, check them at https://github.com/rainyl/awesome-opencv_dart/tree/fix-videoio

Looks like overriding the dependencies resolved the imencode symbols to resolve the original issue. Any idea when a build of dartcv4 with these symbols will be deployed to avoid the overriding to a previous version?
~Thanks!

dartcv4 itself only contains dart codes for pure dart apps, and users must compile the dynamic libraries by themselves.

opencv_core and opencv_dart are designed for flutter, which contains the build scripts that will be automatically triggered by flutter when building.

newer versions for opencv_core and opencv_dart will be released recently. 😄

[felix-ht]

did flutter clean and flutter pub get and flutter build macos.

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  opencv_dart: ^1.3.3

no and no overrides

For all the users with the problem, you can now upgrade to opencv_core or opencv_dart to 1.4.0 🎉
