Getting errors in *.drift files when building project

[syedz9]

Description

1. Link to drift website explaining modular approach
2. Link to example modular code

I am using the modular approach as described in the drift website and repository example. A simplified version of the project directory. (actual table names are just replaced)

lib/src/database/cache
├── database.dart
├── tables/
│   ├── users.drift
│   ├── tableTwo.drift
│   └── tableThree.drift

In this tables/ directory, I have multiple files which define tables in the database using *.drift files. The issue I am facing is after having generated the auto generated *.drift.dart files I now have the directory filled with *.drift and *.drift.dart files. If you can see the example (the link 2), I have followed a similar approach to it.

When I try to build the application. I get the errors at build time.

Error (Xcode): ../tables/users.drift:1:8: Error: Expected ';' after this.

Other syntax related errors are found from this and other *.drift files such as the ones below. I have removed some of the logs (mainly just he file paths where the source of error is) to show the different kinds of errors.

Error: Expected ')' before this.
Error: Expected a function body or '=>'.
Error: Type 'CREATE' not found.

The code in users.drift is simple and other tables also have similar definitions.

CREATE TABLE Users (
	ID INTEGER NULL,
	Name TEXT NULL,
	Age INTEGER NULL,
	Email TEXT NULL
);

My question is, has anyone faced a similar issue in the past? Am I missing some important configurations and any inputs to help me fix this will be appreciated.

Solved

The reason for the issue was that in one of my .dart files I accidentally added *.drift imports. This was causing the errors, fixed the imports to *.drift.dart and now the build works as expected.
