Overview

• Standard pub.dev protocol
• Automatic metadata extraction from pubspec.yaml
• .tar.gz package format support
• Version management following SemVer
• Integration with pub and flutter CLI

​

Pushing Dart packages

hc artifact push dart <registry-name> <package-file-path> \
  --pkg-url <pkg-url>

​

How it works

1. Validates the package archive format
2. Extracts pubspec.yaml from the archive
3. Reads package name and version
4. Uploads the package to the registry

​

Creating Dart packages

name: my_package
version: 1.0.0
description: A useful Dart package
environment:
  sdk: '>=3.0.0 <4.0.0'

dependencies:
  # Your dependencies

dev_dependencies:
  test: ^1.24.0

# Using dart pub
dart pub publish --dry-run

# Or create manually
tar -czf my_package-1.0.0.tar.gz .

hc artifact push dart my-registry ./my_package-1.0.0.tar.gz \
  --pkg-url https://app.harness.io/registry/pkg

​

Installing Dart packages

​

In pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  my_package:
    hosted:
      name: my_package
      url: https://<registry-url>/
    version: ^1.0.0

​

Using pub credentials

# Set up credentials
dart pub token add https://<registry-url>/
# Enter your Harness API token when prompted

​

Install dependencies

dart pub get

# Or for Flutter projects
flutter pub get

​

Examples

# Package and push a Dart library
tar -czf my_package-1.0.0.tar.gz . --exclude='.git' --exclude='.dart_tool'
hc artifact push dart my-registry ./my_package-1.0.0.tar.gz \
  --pkg-url https://app.harness.io/registry/pkg

​

Pubspec.yaml requirements

name: my_package
version: 1.0.0
environment:
  sdk: '>=3.0.0 <4.0.0'

name: my_flutter_package
version: 1.0.0
description: A Flutter package
environment:
  sdk: '>=3.0.0 <4.0.0'
  flutter: '>=3.0.0'

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter

​

CI/CD integration

- name: Setup Dart
  uses: dart-lang/setup-dart@v1

- name: Package and publish
  run: |
    dart pub get
    dart test
    tar -czf my_package-${{ github.ref_name }}.tar.gz .
    hc artifact push dart my-registry ./my_package-*.tar.gz \
      --pkg-url https://app.harness.io/registry/pkg
  env:
    HARNESS_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.HARNESS_API_KEY }}

publish:
  image: dart:stable
  script:
    - dart pub get
    - dart test
    - tar -czf my_package-$CI_COMMIT_TAG.tar.gz .
    - hc artifact push dart my-registry ./my_package-*.tar.gz --pkg-url $PKG_URL
  variables:
    HARNESS_API_KEY: $HARNESS_TOKEN
  only:
    - tags

​

Version constraints

• ^1.0.0 - Compatible with 1.0.0, allows >=1.0.0 <2.0.0
• >=1.0.0 <2.0.0 - Explicit range
• 1.0.0 - Exact version
• any - Any version (not recommended)

​

Troubleshooting

# Validate pubspec.yaml
dart pub publish --dry-run

# ✅ Correct
my_package-1.0.0.tar.gz  # matches pubspec.yaml name: my_package, version: 1.0.0

dart pub token add https://<registry-url>/
# Enter your Harness API token
