It might seem like a useful tool to use this to group Clean architecture layers into some separate packages within the Flutter App project folder. Here are the problems you run into when using that approach to Clean Architecture Layers in flutter apps:
1. Any reports generated such as test reports, code metrics reports are not in the main reports’ folder of the app and have to be merged from…
