Strange syntax error with flutter_localizations and intl

Recently (today) I tried to create an app for web and desktop with Flutter and wanted it to be in multiple languages (English, French, Arabic, Dutch…) so I looked at Flutter’s tutorial and followed every steps it had. And just after finishing the last step I had it working ! I could add text in, English in the app_en.arb file and in any other language in app_fr.arb by example. When I hot reloaded/restarted my app the Dart files it generates are rebuilt. But now when I do that I have an error that I couldn’t find anywhere else on Internet:

Exception: Found syntax errors.

And the dart files for localization weren’t rebuilt. Now I must use the

flutter gen-l10n

command to rebuild my language files.

Note:
Here’s my flutter doctor:

    it's me again, this looked like a PATH problem in my case. Now that I restarted my computer I don't have the error anymore, I should have checked that before. But as I never saw this error before you should check other things like dependencies versions or your Dart and Flutter SDKs, I am not sure about how it happened so restart your computer and check a lot of things could help fix the problem.

    In my case this error had appeared after I renamed the folder where project files was. I fixed all paths with old folder name, but the error was still persist. flutter clean didn’t help.

    Then in folder named .idea I found few files (.xml and .iml extensions) that contained the old folder’s name. After I fixed it the error was gone. Hope will help.
