title: Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in "/Users/userName"
body: <p>I'm having some difficulty with flutter within the VS Code tool.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm unable to update packages.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>$ flutter packages get
  Running "flutter packages get" in my_flutter_app...
  Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in "/Users/userName".
  pub get failed (66)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm in the my_flutter_app directory, and clear as day in that directory root there is a file named "pubspec.yaml" . Why is the system looking for pubspec.yaml somewhere else, totally ignoring the pubspec.yaml right there?  This doesn't make sense to me. </p>
  
  <p>When I attempt to debug / run the program I get the following response in the Debug Console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Running "flutter packages get" in my_flutter_app...
  Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in "/Users/userName".
  pub get failed (66)
  Exited (66)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Issue fail on both the terminal within VS code or within system bash terminal. Note: I'm using macOS, High Sierra, 10.13.6</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ flutter --version
