Someone on stackoverflow posted about this issue before and there isn’t an answer to this issue.

The issue:

Error on line 14, column 6 of pubspec.yaml: Expected ':'.
   ╷
14 │   dds: 2.7.10
   │      ^
   ╵

I tried everything that was suggested in this post: Error: Unable to 'pub upgrade' flutter tool

>>> flutter pub get
>>> flutter clean
>>> flutter run
>>> flutter pub cache repair
>>> flutter doctor
>>> flutter upgrade

All this didn’t work, still jump to this error.

If anyone knows how to solve this issue, please answer or add a comment on this question, thanks.

here is my pubspec.yaml file:

name: mytable
description: A new Flutter project.
# The following line prevents the package from being accidentally published to
# pub.dev using `flutter pub publish`. This is preferred for private packages.
publish_to: 'none' # Remove this line if you wish to publish to pub.dev

# The following defines the version and build number for your application.
# A version number is three numbers separated by dots, like 1.2.43
# followed by an optional build number separated by a +.
# Both the version and the builder number may be overridden in flutter
# build by specifying --build-name and --build-number, respectively.
# In Android, build-name is used as versionName while build-number used as versionCode.
# Read more about Android versioning at https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning
# In iOS, build-name is used as CFBundleShortVersionString while build-number is used as CFBundleVersion.
# Read more about iOS versioning at
# https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CoreFoundationKeys.html
# In Windows, build-name is used as the major, minor, and patch parts
# of the product and file versions while build-number is used as the build suffix.
version: 1.0.0+1

environment:
  sdk: '>=3.0.5 <4.0.0'

# Dependencies specify other packages that your package needs in order to work.
# To automatically upgrade your package dependencies to the latest versions
# consider running `flutter pub upgrade --major-versions`. Alternatively,
# dependencies can be manually updated by changing the version numbers below to
# the latest version available on pub.dev. To see which dependencies have newer
# versions available, run `flutter pub outdated`.
dependencies:
  cupertino_icons: ^1.0.2
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  flutter_screenutil: ^5.8.4
  flutter_svg: ^2.0.7
  flutter_custom_clippers: ^2.1.0
  intl: ^0.18.1
  

dev_dependencies:

  # The "flutter_lints" package below contains a set of recommended lints to
  # encourage good coding practices. The lint set provided by the package is
  # activated in the `analysis_options.yaml` file located at the root of your
  # package. See that file for information about deactivating specific lint
  # # rules and activating additional ones.
  flutter_lints: ^2.0.0
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter

# For information on the generic Dart part of this file, see the

flutter:

  # The following line ensures that the Material Icons font is
  # included with your application, so that you can use the icons in
  # the material Icons class.
  uses-material-design: true
  # To add assets to your application, add an assets section, like this:
  assets: 
  - assets/images/
  
  # An image asset can refer to one or more resolution-specific "variants", see
  # https://flutter.dev/assets-and-images/#resolution-aware
  # For details regarding adding assets from package dependencies, see
  # https://flutter.dev/assets-and-images/#from-packages
  # To add custom fonts to your application, add a fonts section here,
  # in this "flutter" section. Each entry in this list should have a
  # "family" key with the font family name, and a "fonts" key with a
  # list giving the asset and other descriptors for the font. For
  # example:
  fonts:
    - family: Almarai-Bold
      fonts:
        - asset: assets/fonts/Almarai/Almarai-Bold.ttf

    - family: Almarai-Regular
      fonts:
        - asset: assets/fonts/Almarai/Almarai-Regular.ttf
     
    - family: Poppins-Medium
      fonts:
        - asset: assets/fonts/Poppins/Poppins-Medium.ttf

    - family: Amiri
      fonts: 
        - asset: assets/fonts/Amiri/Amiri-Bold.ttf

  1. You can try replacing your pubspec.yaml file with a fresh new pubsepc.yaml file.

    Then run,

    flutter clean
    flutter pub get 
    

    Then add all the dependencies of your project 1 by 1.

    Try this if it works.

  2. I don’t see that error line on your yaml file. Probably cause you created a new one?

    In any case, make sure you use the carrot sign before version number.

    Also, indentation kinda matters depending which section you are in inside the yaml file, as there are different categories.

    Try this (there’s a space after the colon fyi):

    dds: ^2.7.10

  3. Add it to your dependency section in your yaml file after the line: intl: ^0.18.1
    Be sure it’s indented just like the intl line above it.

    After that add the import in your dart file on top where you wish to use this library.
    Also, visit pub.dev, type dds, and search for it and check the Installing section for more info.
