My Android Studio keeps reporting 'Analysis server has terminated'. I've tried Invalidate Caches and 'Flutter clean', and even reinstalling Android Studio, all to no avail. My operating system is Mac. I would be really grateful if someone could help me.

Android Studio Dart Analysis Server Keeps Terminating with PathNotFoundException

Problem Description

My Android Studio continuously reports "Analysis server has terminated" error. The Dart analysis server fails to start due to a PathNotFoundException trying to access a non-existent file /some/file.txt. I've tried multiple solutions but the issue persists.

Error Message

PathNotFoundException: Cannot open file, path = '/some/file.txt' (OS Error: No such file or directory, errno = 2)

What I've Already Tried

1. Invalidate Caches and Restart in Android Studio
2. Running flutter clean in the project
3. Reinstalling Android Studio completely
4. Removing FVM cache and reinstalling Flutter
5. Deleting Android Studio configuration directories

Environment Information

• Operating System: macOS 15.6
• Android Studio: Otter 3 Feature Drop | 2025.2.3 (build AI-252.28238.7)
• Flutter Version: 3.38.5 (managed via FVM)
• Dart SDK: 3.10.4
• Dart IntelliJ Plugin: 500.0.0

Complete Error Log

The analysis server keeps restarting with this command pattern:

1770084469883 started analysis server:
  /Users/admin/fvm/versions/3.38.5/bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin/dart language-server --client-id=Android-Studio --client-version=AI-252.28238.7 --protocol=analyzer --instrumentation-log-file=/some/file.txt
1770084473685 <= {"event":"server.connected","params":{"version":"1.40.0","pid":13542}}

(Repeats multiple times with different PIDs - server crashes and restarts continuously)

Stack Trace

#0      _checkForErrorResponse (dart:io/common.dart:58)
#1      _File.open. (dart:io/file_impl.dart:442)

#2      _FileStreamConsumer.addStream. (dart:io/file_impl.dart:223)

Key Observations

1. The analysis server is passing --instrumentation-log-file=/some/file.txt which doesn't exist
2. The server starts and immediately terminates (10+ times in rapid succession)
3. This happens with FVM-managed Flutter 3.38.5 on macOS
4. The issue prevents all Dart/Flutter code analysis features from working

Question

What's causing Android Studio to pass this invalid file path (/some/file.txt) to the Dart language server, and how can I fix it permanently?

Has anyone encountered this specific issue with Android Studio Otter 3 and FVM? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
