There are two bugs:
1.
This is a Flutter framework bug dealing with stack traces from eval expression. The likely fix is a change in package:flutter
2.
Why did the layout explorer trigger an exception in the first place? Do you recall what you were doing that reproduced the issue?

I was just selecting a Column widget. I was developing DevTools on desktop MacOS. I then ran DevTools on Chrome to inspect the DevTools macos instance I was developing. I selected a Column widget from the UI I was building and kept getting this error.

I am getting this error consistently in my project right now.

Navigating to/from Layout Explorer seems to cause it, and changing widget in the tree view..
EDIT: Actually, nevermind. It seems to just happen constantly whenever I do anything in the Details Tree or the Widget Tree. And the Layout Explorer is not rendering at all.

When I clicked any widget from Flutter inspector, the same error always occured:

// from /usr/local/Caskroom/flutter/1.22.5/flutter/bin/cache/pkg/sky_engine/lib/core/uri.dart:1627
  static Never _fail(String uri, int index, String message) {
    throw FormatException(message, uri, index);
  }

and the message said, "Invalid empty scheme".

My flutter doctor -v :

It doens't look like normal behavior at all.
