path_pubspec_does_not_exist

The directory '{0}' doesn't contain a pubspec.

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a dependency has a path key that references a directory that doesn't contain a pubspec.yaml file.

Assuming that the directory local_package doesn't contain a file pubspec.yaml, the following code produces this diagnostic because it's listed as the path of a package:

name: example
dependencies:
  local_package:
    path: local_package

If the path is intended to be the root of a package, then add a pubspec.yaml file in the directory:

name: local_package

If the path is wrong, then replace it with the correct path.
