Unable to use flutterflow cli tool #7303

Description

@vdevc

Can we access your project?

  • I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

I have previously tracked this issue in another one: #7289

a couple of days ago, during a flutterflow ai refresh-context xxxxx operation the latest version of SDk has been downloaded. Since that I am not anymore able to user the tool

As per the suggestion in #7289 I have tried

Deactivate the tool

➜  myfolder dart pub global deactivate flutterflow_cli
Deactivated package flutterflow_cli 0.0.38.

Activate the tool again

➜  myfolder dart pub global activate flutterflow_cli

Built flutterflow_cli:flutterflow_cli.
Installed executable flutterflow.

But this ha no effect

➜  myfolder flutterflow ai refresh-context xxxxx-xxxx

Expected Behavior

After an update the tool should continue to work or at least suggest a better diagnostic message
