Cannot access Flutter from Android Studio's Terminal

[ste8]

This is actually more a question about Android Studio rather than Puro, but I have encountered this problem as a result of using Puro, so I'll try to ask here.
I have a new MacBook and instead of installing Flutter in the usual way, I wanted to try Puro (so I have now installed Flutter and Dart only through Puro).
In the preferences of Android Studio I can see Dart SDK and Flutter SDK path set correctly, respectively as
/Users/{username}/.puro/envs/{environment}/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk
/Users/{username}/.puro/envs/{environment}/flutter
and I can run commands such as pub get using Android Studio's interface.

But if I try to execute any flutter command (e.g. 'flutter doctor') in Android Studio's Terminal, I receive the error "zsh: command not found: flutter" because the Terminal cannot see Flutter's SDK path.

The interesting thing is that Visual Studio Code, instead, has an option (enabled by default) called "Dart: Add Sdk to Terminal Path" that allow to call flutter commands from Terminal. And here they work!

I tried to search some info about Android Studio, but I haven't been able to make it work.
In a project I am working on, a makefile was defined with several references to flutter's commands, and I cannot execute it from Android Studio's terminal due to this issue.
A workaround is to execute it from VS Code, but I'd prefer to have everything inside Android Studio.

Any suggestion about this issue?

It should be automatically added to your PATH, ensure:

1. The environment you want to use is set as the global default e.g. puro use -g stable
2. You are using zsh as your shell for Android Studio, echo $SHELL should print zsh
3. ~/.zshrc contains export PATH="$PATH: lines that the puro installer should've added automatically
4. Nothing else is overriding the PATH variable, such as an export command that doesn't prepend w/ $PATH: or Android Studio settings overriding it in Tools > Terminal > Environment Variables

Thanks for the answer!
After setting the environment as the global default (puro use -g) it works, but in this way I have to remember to switch the global default everytime I change project (with a different environment), right?
With Visual Studio Code this step isn't needed.

To use the project-specific flutter version you need to use the subcommand puro flutter or puro dart, create an issue on the flutter-intellij repo if you want a similar option as VSCode's "Add Sdk to Terminal Path".

@ste8 I use VS Code. With puro, I find myself better off with the "Add Sdk to Terminal Path" option disabled. Relying on puro use -g would probably turn into a nightmare quickly if you have multiple projects using different puro env in each one.

As a quick workaround, perhaps you can consider creating a shell script named flutter to call puro flutter, and put it in puro's bin directory (since it's already in the shell PATH). This is what I did, although my script is slightly more sophisticated, in order to get around flutter doctor warning messages on different SDK on the path.

Just some thought.

That's how things used to work, but it broke InteliJ's SDK location detection so we switched to having the default environment part of the PATH
