Flutter Row Text Overflow

Question

I can't get this to layout properly.

I'm trying to achieve

This is what I tried so far that gets me the closest to it but isn't exactly right.

  Row(mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween, children: [
    Flexible(
      child: Row(children: [
        PrefixIcon(),
        Flexible(
          child: DefaultTextStyle(
            overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
            child: TextGoesHere(),
          ),
        ),
        SuffixIcon(),
      ]),
    ),
    TrailingIcon(),
  ]),

But Flexible with FlexFit.loose acts like Expanded so the SuffixIcon gets pushed to the end even though TextGoesHere is a short text.

I got so far

Please help.

If you consider ..from TextOverflow.ellipsis, this I've got so far with row.

color container just for visual

Widget

 Row(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
          children: [
            Text("Prefix"),
            Expanded(
              child: Container(
                color: Colors.deepOrange,
                child: Row(
                  children: [
                    Flexible(
                      child: Text(
                        "Very LongggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggText",
                        maxLines: 1,
                      ),
                    ),
                    Icon(
                      Icons.tag_sharp,
                    )
                  ],
                ),
              ),
            ),
            Text("TrailingIcon"),
          ],
        ),

Else, we can use LayoutBuilder if we know the prefix and Icons size.

Hey thanks, I tried your answer but it looked exactly like what I got so far. So I tried it in dartpad and it seems like it works great there. I'll accept the answer but I'm still lost as to why it won't work in my codebase.

Got it. It was because of Alignment I had. Thanks for your help!
